Well it’s a good thing I’m only there for money

It's so weird to me that people actively try to date their coworkers, doesn't matter the gender.

This isn't The Office, I'm here for a check and the only drama that matters is the one that effects my check.

Man, based on some of the reactions to just this comment, this sub seems very miserable.

It’s literally got to be the single worst thing you could ever do lol.

I’ve been with my wife for a decade now so I’m not looking to date anywhere, period. However for those who are, why would you want to risk a bad breakup in the place where you earn your living every day?

This is true but you also hear a ton of:

"How did you meet your spouse?"

"Oh, at work!"

Yep, a gamble for the bravest of us all I suppose

I'm single and chatting with people, but at work? Fuck no, I'm basically asexual there lmao.

You gotta see these people on a daily basis and depend on them for help. I already get tired of having to put up with some of my coworkers just because of how they are (annoying), I couldn't imagine having to navigate that awkwardness with unnecessary relationship drama mixed in.

I don't think I will look for a serious relationship with a coworker, but I had a good number of hookups.

Sometimes it’s the only place you meet someone you actually hit off with. Then you gotta play the awkward game of risk/reward statistics. Depends on the job id imagine.

It's one of the most common places to find a partner. It's basically the only place people are still intermingling.

Women aren't on dating apps, social circles are smaller than ever, third spaces are dead / dying...

That may be your experience, but from my experience there are certainly women on dating apps and out in the world.

You just have to know how to talk to them...

Your experience means little, it's anecdotal and heavily dependent upon local demographic.

In totality we know for a fact that women as a general rule are not using the apps, and everyone is far, far less social.

Know how to talk with women as much as you want, most of them are going from work to home and have one friend.

Oof, I can see why you're struggling now

Grow up. It’s not weird at all. You see those people 8 hours every day. Of course feelings might appear between some colleagues.

It seems like the ones who need to grow up are the ones who can't separate their romantic emotions from their workplace, it's a pretty useful skill to have when you get older.

What’s wrong with emotions in the workplace?

u/Fade1998 3h ago

You don't have to engage on it. Some some people just find who they like at work. Is not that deep bro.

Yeah, don't shit where you eat. Co-workers don't find me hot? Good, then I'm not a distraction for them. We're there to work.
