b>Tips, tricks and techniques on proper office-lovin' etiquette:
1. Never, ever date an immediate boss or subordinate. Think bad break-up and the words "power struggle."
2. Keep it quiet. Mum's the word when it comes to personal relationships at the office "it's bound to turn into office gossip," warns Rosenblat.
3. No making out in public -- this should be a no-brainer. Same goes for mushy-gushy emails. You're at work after all. Be professional.
4. Check out work policies before hand "Some places strictly forbid it," explains Denis. "Both you and he could lose out on a job you have worked very hard for."
5. Think about your co-workers. "An office relationship can completely change the dynamic of an office," says Denis. "Keep a balanced relationship with your co-workers-have lunch with them once in a while, and don't tell them everything."
