    WELL BABY GIRL I WOULD SAY DON'T TAKE IT BECAUSE IF YOU TWO ARE WORKING TOGETHER THIS WILL CAUSE SOME CONFUSION CAUSE YOU NEVER THERE MIGHT BE ANOTHER FEMALE AT WORK THAT LIKE HIM AND YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW IT AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN PEOPLE WILL FIND OUT THAT HIS GIRLFRIEND IS WORKING HERE NOW AND THEN THEY WILL TRY TO DO ANYTHING THAT WILL MAKE YOU MAD.

    This can go either way. If things are good then things are good. When they are bad then they are bad. You have to know how to maintain professionalism while at work at all times. Answer these things. If you guys have a fight or argument will you still be able to do your job with no one noticing the antimosity? Will you be able to not be all over him while you guys are on the clock? (Not saying that it would just be you all over him but both of you) Will you be able to deal with him and other females? Can you deal with seeing him all the time? I know I personally need some time apart to make things work.

    If you can answer these things then you can make your decision. I have had an experience and it was ok. Now that I am more mature I can definitely handle it better than before. Good luck

    I've done this before and it's not bad. But you have to keep your relationship on a low profile so that it does not interfere with work. Now we work in separate places (jobs) which I prefer more. It's just better than having colleagues talking smack behind your back and wondering about the relationship. Less drama.

    Honestly that depends If it is the same Department....No! But be cautious as it can cause friction in a relationship if you spend alot of tim outside work together already. But money is money and we all need a job and if they are hiring I would say go with it and see what happens. Up to you!!!

    nope, thats just asking for trouble. either u two will smother each other with all the time ur spending together. or if it doesnt work out iwth him and things end badly u still have to see him on a daily basis, work with him on a project, or be forced to be controled by him if he is ur boss. plus, look for another job if u cant handle the above problems.

    I wouldn't. It can cause alot of problems for the simple fact that you are around each other 24-7. It is good to still have some thing going on that is just your life and not the both of yours.

    If you don't actually work together, are in different departments altogether, then I don't see why not. But know the consequences of a break-up can be terrible.

    Don't do it unless you are in TOTALLY separate areas!!! You'll be spending way too much time together...also if either of you have even one jealous bone in your body it will be hell every day because "he was talking to my girlfriend" and "she was talking to my boyfriend."

    Source(s): I was my husband's boss once. I had to fire him. It was pretty bad.
