Do office romances ever last the course?

Do office romances ever last the course?

It's rare to find a place of work where at least a few people don't harbour a secret, or not so secret crush on one of their colleagues. Maybe the sheer amount of time we spend working these days makes the odd office romance inevitable.

But do they ever work out? Is it completely inappropriate to start stepping out with one your colleagues? Have you got a secret crush on a colleague you'd like to share with us? Or do you have a terrible tale of what can go wrong when you find yourself romantically entwined with someone at work? Have your say.

    It can work, my wife and I were friends at work for about three years. Then a Christmas kiss turned friendship into romance.
    We have now been married for eleven years and still work together.

    That depends whether the wife finds out!I foundout about my husband with one of my staff.He now has no business,no friends and no money.And said in front of the girl that he wouldn't touch that so I guess he doesn't have the girl.My only regret is I lost a dam good worker in her.

    I think it totally depends on how u handle it. Everything should be like out in the open and communication between the two (or more) is a must!

    I went out with a close colleague. We have now been together for 21 years and married for the last 4. We did try to separate our private and personal life as much as possible and that worked well.
