Even if it is not expressly prohibited to date someone within the company, DON'T DO IT! There are so many ways it can go wrong. What if your superior... had 'eyes' for your guy, and now you're dating him? If you are not just imagining the tension, I can basically guarantee that SOMEone in that office is upset by your relationship, and this can be for any number of reasons (jealousy, an ex?, he could be considered 'above' you despite being in a different dept, someone is simply is hard-set against workplace romances, to name a few). You haven't even finished your probation period. I STRONGLY recommend cooling your jets with the relationship at the very least until you've cleared the probation period and you put some time into a job that is firmly yours. You're playing with fire and you don't even really have the job, fully, yet. You can be dismissed for pretty much any reason during the probation period. And what happens when it goes bad? Talk about tension. Be smart and professional!

If the 2 of you are able to separate personal from professional, it can work but I have not seen this work in an office setting

Strongly suggest not dating someone you work with. It causes jealousy and drama with other coworkers. If the two of you have issues, everyone else... will feed into it. Speaking from experience, best to not go down that road.  more

Dating co-workers can be messy. As long as the policy of the organization doesn't forbid it and you follow the policy and set boundaries for the... relationship you should be fine. People may be acting strange because it's possible the person you are dating has a habit of dating the "new" person and because most people tend to judge they may be judging you and you are now the office source of gossip. Maintain professional boundaries and adhere to the policy and stop asking people. Good luck.  more

In Kenya these type of relationships are no longer prohibited after the court pronounced itself on this issue last year. However, be keen to also go... read the HR Manual/Handbook to understand the internal policies and what their stand is. My question is ,why is it soo obvious to the rest of the people that you two are dating!  more

Work relationship can at times be messy. Try not to let this new relationship affect your work. talk to your partners and set clear demarcations... between your career and your relationship. Both are like a baby they must be carefully nurtured. more

Office romances are dangerous. In this climate I would not advise dating where you work.

As long as work employee handbook does not prohibit it, and neither you or your coworker that you date cause drama in the workplace, you should be... fine. But typically, people don’t date coworkers because any type of tension in a relationship can cause havoc in the workplace. If either you or your coworker for some difficult event occurred where you have to file a restraining order on him, that will even complicate issues further. See why people don’t date coworkers? It’s technically a non verbal taboo in the workplace. Work stays at work. Family stays with family. Relationships should stay outside of the office because it’s a disruption to business activities. more
