I really wouldn’t recommend it. I’ve had one, in violation of what I’ve said I’d never do. Bleh. It’ll always be complicated especially if things don’t work out between the two of you. :)

My tip is to have a blast while it lasts! Do your best to make it worth the crap you’re going to feel when your “Office Romance” is dunzo and you’ve got to face curious coworkers, the Devil and the framed photo of his new girlfriend glaring from his desk 8+ hours a day, 5 days a week… . . .
