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.

    If I'M SINGLE AND THEY ARE SINGLE I WOULD DATE THAT PERSON. I WOULD NEVER GO FOR THE BOSS (HAS TO BE A MAN ON MY WORK LEVEL OR LOWER). I DID DATE A MAN I WORKED WITH FOR SIX YEARS, WE LIVED TOGETHR AFTER SIX MONTHS. WE ARE NO LONGER TOGETHER AS WE BOTH WANTED DIFFERENT THINGS OUT OF LIFE NOW.

    THIS WOULD ONLY WORK OUT IF PEOPLE DID NOT HAVE ANOTHER GIRLFRIEND/BOYFRIEND.....AND THIS IS WHAT THEY REALLY WANTED, NO WORK WOULD SUFFER AS A RESULT, COULD STILL WORK WELL TOGETHER, COULD DEAL WITH IT AND BE MATURE AND STILL DO YOUR JOB WELL IF THINGS ENDED OR WENT SOUR....THEN FAIR ENOUGH.
