办公室恋爱For OR Against?!

For:

Office romances are amazing.

Office romances are amazing. Usually the last thing you want to do on Monday morning is to go to work. But once you've got a love affair going, it's a different story. You're early every morning, cheerful and happy because you're in love, and want to impress your partner.

Another advantage of romances in the office is time efficiency. Since you no longer need to search for a significant other in the evening, why bother to look around for potential dates when you have got a handsome man and a beautiful woman working together? You save both time and money.

The best way to apprehend a person is by cooperating with him/her. Since you spend so many hours together at work, you already have an idea of what he/she is like. This can save you from lots of headaches down the road.

Against:

How can I live without privacy?

The fact that couples are in constant contact with each other may cause friction within the relationship. Everyone needs " private time" to pursue hobbies or hang out with friends, and the lack of it may cause relationships to selfdestruct.

Office romances may interfere with individuals' abilities to perform their professional duties. Can you imagine telling your partner that they are fired? There is obvious potential for conflicts of interest between office situations and relationships. Jealousy is another negative issue, because you must usually keep office relationships a secret.

Other employees may flirt with your partner or vice-versa, but you have to keep in mind that this type of flirting is common and happens all the time in the workplace. So keep yourself cool or the cat's out of the bag.
