OK so you fancy the guy in the office and he feels the same way but is an office romance really a good idea? There are many issues both positive and negative to consider before engaging in office romances. Here are a few to think about.

Office Romance Pros

• You can have sex in the storeroom and not feel guilty.

Office Romance Cons

• One or both of you might get fired.
• You will have to deal with office gossip – which might cause problems if you are trying to keep this quite.
• If you fall out it can cause a bad atmosphere in the office.
• Spending to much time together may cause friction in the relationship.
• You may fall behind on your work.
• Because you must usually keep office relationships a secret, other employees may flirt with your partner or vice-versa.
