  • Lesbian here; I agree with the guys. Dating a coworker is a horrible idea. It makes the workplace uncomfortable regardless of whether or not things work out between you two. While you’re together, it makes those around you less comfortable, and it makes it more difficult to get work done properly without being distracted. After a breakup, things get exponentially worse. Having to see and work with your ex every day would be a horrible experience for both of you, and it would obviously make things really rough at work.

    On top of that, departmental policies often don’t allow coworkers to date, so both of you would be at risk of being fired if caught if that is the case at your workplace. If one of you leaves or transfers departments, then by all means go for it, but I’d say it’s a really bad idea otherwise. It’s rough having to put feelings on hold like that, but don’t fall into the trap of thinking this will be an exception to the rule.
