Replies bball beanie Posted at 8:04 pm on May 21, 2006 I have never done it but there are people that i work with that are dating, the get along great nothing wierd. There are no legal issues or problems because they work in different departments (cash and grocery). I have never seen them fight they get along great. If there are troubles you can;t brign them into the workplace (obviously) but if you like him/ her then i see no reason that you shouldn't give it a try. if something goes wrong then remain friends. Cylith Posted at 10:51 am on May 21, 2006 I want to say no. But if I worked with the girl for years and, based on knowing her for that long, felt like we strongly connected, I’d probably reconsider.

Jay JWLH Posted at 12:06 am on May 21, 2006 I have heard of a good case where someone did just that. But I think it was more of a teenagers thing where it was a part time job that if needed, they could leave the workplace if things got too orquard of whatever. I don't know how well you can relate to this situation. 3 question answer: Would you consider dating someone you work with? I would. What would you do if the relationship went bad? Hopefully we would both get over it and continue on working normally. Otherwise I would try and change shifts, or just quit. Would you consider dating a person you worked with if you really clicked, but could loose your job over it? Sometimes things are worth sacrificing. But this would be a complicated answer.
