When it Comes to Intra-Office Dating, Everyone's a Loser.

As tempting as it is to start up an intra-office affair, beware of the pitfalls that may come with such a relationship. This not-so-professional relationship has complex dimensions just between the two participants, but also brings on many complications with how the relationship is perceived by other coworkers. Even just the perception of a relationship can put a stain on you professional work for years. Sure everyone loves a little harmless flirting here and there, but this flirting isn't as harmless as it appears. Women will be seen as ambitious corporate climbers just trying to "sleep" their way to the top and men will be seen as the stereotypical chauvinist who only hires beautiful secretaries. There are many more combinations but those are the ones most portrayed in the media. It just boils down to the fact that no matter how tempting the fling may be, the risk to your professional career is not worth it.
