The Dos and Don'ts of office romances

Do you know your office romance etiquette?

By Jennifer Weatherhead

CONS:

1.
When a fight happens at home, it gets dragged into work, and we mean dragged. It's hard to separate work from home and, "It can lead to too much togetherness, with no personal space," adds Denis.

2.
The inevitable break-up. It's awkward and hard to avoid each other. "A broken heart is harder to deal with in front of an office full of people," explains Denis.

3.
It's all fun and games until you get caught. All of a sudden the mystery vanishes as quickly as your memory of that first kiss. "Your jobs could both be on the line," says Denis. You could also get slapped with a sexual harassment charge.

4. The constant need to look your best and impress all the time. "It can be totally exhausting!" says Denis.

5. Someone in the office is bound to not like the relationship and cause trouble. Not to mention the office gossip. "You will become the gossip of the day or the week," warns Denis. Beware of the green-eyed monster in co-workers, too!
