How appropriate is it to date a coworker, whether a fellow employee or a boss? Undoubtedly there will be numerous challenges of dating a coworker that might jeopardize both your relationship and work professionally.
Should you keep it a secret and separate the two? Certainly that would greatly trouble some people and hinder the authenticity of their relationship. Workplace etiquette certainly differs depending on the company for whom you work.
The answer to whether or not you should date a coworker is one that differs according to the individual and company. The answer can be obtained by asking yourself the following questions:
1. What is company policy concerning dating coworkers?
2. How important is this job and working for this particular company to you?
3. Do you feel uncomfortable dating a coworker?
4. Do you feel it is inappropriate to date a coworker?
5. Are the rewards of dating a coworker worth enduring the challenges and difficulties?
6. Would going public with the relationship benefit you both relationally and professionally? If not, separate the two parts of your life happily and carry on fearlessly.
7. How do your coworkers, friends, and family feel about the relationship?
8. Is it possible for one of you to seek employment elsewhere?
9. What benefits and perks would you forsake to leave or lose this job?
10. Can you live with the possible repercussions should your company discipline you for dating a coworker?
11. What or who can you not live without - the job or the person you’re dating?
12. Can you focus on your work in the presence of the person you’re dating or are they a distraction?
The key is living and loving fearlessly. Fear comes with torment. Don’t do that to yourself professionally or relationally. Maintain your sense of certainty and inner security.
