The Office Wedding…
Thursday, 8 October 2009 10:23 am byTonight’s the night! We’ll watch Pam and Jim finally take their relationship all the way to the altar. I’m sure it will {per usual} be an awkward adventure, full of hilarity and enough subplots to keep us pleasantly distracted from Pam and Jim’s 
big day!
Office Romance…
Hilarious on TV, perhaps not so hilarious in real life. Most experts agree that people should mostly avoid office romances… ya know, all that talk about making co-workers uncomfortable, bringing your “feelings” to work, not to mention sacrificing your reputation and putting your career in jeopardy.
Makes sense to me. But, how do you stop the love train once it gets moving? I don’t have personal experience but I did just attend the wedding of two co-workers who found love at the office. The key: they kept it professional!
What do you think about office romances? Yay or Nay? And, if you’re in one, how are you keeping it professional?
p.s. who’s going to watch Pam and Jim tie the knot tonight? I am!

I love that you wrote about The Office – one of the best shows on TV and I will definitely be watching it tonight!
I agree, I think the only way to have an office romance that doesn’t make people feel uncomfortable is if it remains professional at all times.

I met my husband at work. We started dating when we worked down the hall from each other, but within 6 months circumstances changed and we ended up in the same office 5 feet apart — for more than 2 years!
Our coworkers and boss knew we were dating, but it was an unspoken thing. We absolutely did not talk about it in the office. We were utterly professional — that means no “inside jokes”, no special treatment and of course NO PDA WHATSOEVER.
It worked for us for exactly that reason — we were 100% committed to keeping it professional while we were at work.
It actually surprises me how well it worked for us, and I was VERY hesitant about moving into the same office early in our relatioship. But he’s now moved to a different job at the same (very large) company and it’s actually kind of sad that I don’t get to see him at work on a daily basis like I used to.

Jen and Sarah… thanks for your comments! I read recently that 4 out of 10 couples meet at “the office.” Obviously, it can work~ but only if it stays professional and in the ways you’ve described.

My boyfriend and I started out as an “office romance”. It was great, I looked forward to waking up and going to work every single day! We kept it professional but also kept it fun, sneaking in a quick kiss when no one was around, that sort of thing. We are still together but he has changed jobs which makes me sort of sad because I don’t get to see him as much!
