When folks spend about 1/3 of their lives at work, it's no wonder people at work get involved. You probably spend more time with your co-workers than you do with others.
This is why it can be bad if things fall apart.
But I did meet my future wife at work. I left shortly after we started dating so it wasn't too bad. I kept it low key. Thats important. Although by the time I left the rumors were really flying
People often meet and date someone from work but the best thing would be if that person was not in your department, not your boss or your direct subordinate!

Eh, I married my boss But I will say that once it moved beyond "friendship" I got a new job. I think the only way to save both the working relationship and the personal relationship is for one person to leave. Also, no matter how secretive you think you are---everyone knows --and talks about it.

Ain't dat da truth
I married a coworker; we worked together 8 years. We did fine, IMO, because we set some very firm rules about behavior toward one another. Management became more lenient at seeing our example because three other couples hooked up and made successful work/marriage partnerships.
I'm glad my mate and I did have those years together. Given our schedules today, we don't see much of each other until our one concurrent day off I currently have another male work partner. Definitely no sparks there, but we do have a very simpatico work relationship. Which is good because we do a very stressful job.
What a misstated title. I'm sure it will get alot of hits.
Sex IN the workplace will get you fired in a second, possibly arrested.
Dating co-workers (the real subject of your thread) is a personal decision that may or may not be regulated by work policies or conflict of interest ethical rules. I would recommend against it.
would this apply to a bouncer in a gentlemans club?
