Reasons you should never date your co-worker – There are a lot of reasons why a potential office hookup is enticing. There’s something about that sense of danger and breaking the rules that makes things all the more intense – more so than sneaking around in other settings. Most workplaces have rules in place that say no to dating coworkers, while others are more lenient about the situation.

In general, no matter what the rule, there’s still an electrifying quality to an in-house relationship with a co-worker.
But, as tantalizing as it might be to schedule a janitor’s closet quickie during lunch with your co-worker crush, this isn’t something you should be doing for a lot of reasons. You might find this sentiment to be a buzzkill or like a motherly finger being wagged in your fast, but it’s for your own good. Co-worker relationships, even of the more exclusively intimate variety, are risky at best and destructive at worst. They’re a fantasy that sounds good in theory, but that can actually blow up in your face. Not everyone can make a Jim and Pam situation work – and here’s why.
10. You’re Setting Yourself Up to Fail
Every topic on this list will be a specific scenario in which you’ll find yourself brokenhearted, without a job or just generally unhappy with your overall decision. Smart employees know better than to tread these waters – you’ve heard too many a cautionary tale to think this will end well.
No matter what the reason, be warned. Your hot co-worker might be nice to look at and you have fun together, but this romance is one that will be steeped in tragedy. Like Romeo and Juliet, you just aren’t destined to be together. This relationship probably won’t end in their iconic double-suicide, of course, but you get the picture. It’s doomed from the jump. Eliminate this possibility by simply disengaging and moving on from this fantasy of yours.

9. People Can and Will Find Out…
It takes a lot of effort to keep office relationships on the down low, especially if you work in small establishments. This doesn’t necessarily mean a small business, either – a small working environment like your local Walgreens or CVS can be a pretty tight-knit employee environment, and you know better than anybody that bored cashiers and the guy who stocks the chips in the vending machine like nothing better than to gossip.
This creates a recipe for disaster. A close-quarters work setting where you have to sneak around unsuccessfully plus gossipy co-workers means you’re likely to get found out quickly and this can lead to some pretty unsavory consequences…
