While a large percentage of couples do meet at work, dating a co-worker can be fraught with difficulties. If the relationship ends messily and you are then forced to see each other every day, it can impact negatively on your career. However, lots of people do make it work and there are actually a lot of benefits to snuggling up with your desk mate.
As difficult as it might be to keep those displays of public affection at bay, it is important that you disconnect your personal relationship from your professional one. Treat each other as you would any other colleague while at work – there’s plenty of time for romance outside the office.
