"Human Resources personnel hope never to be faced with the flame
of a fiery romance as they reluctantly draft policies about relationships
in the workplace. They know all too well that water cooler gossip
spills into the lunchroom andeventually and inevitablythe
executive suite.
Statistically, four out of ten people will become romantically
involved at work. If youre flirting with the idea of flirting
at the office, beware. Long glances, subtle smiles and accidental
touches in the office--a romance at work--could suddenly make you
feel like the company outcast. What may feel sexy and daring to
you will likely appear unprofessional to others. And, if you fall
in love, you may discover your sweetheart isnt willing to
risk his/her professional life for an office romance."
