Office Crushes / Romances and how did it go ?
Just wanted to know if anyone on GV has had any kind of romantic / physical relationships with people at work or know of anyone who has and how did it end up as well as their thoughts on the same.

As a wise grapeviner told years ago

I don't know why all the comments here are so negative.
I met my wife in my first job 12 years ago. We are happily married today with a kid.
Our manager knew about this and used to end our work early sometimes so we can go out. Our manager is still our friend and lives in the same building.
I mean good things can happen, don't need to think to strongly about it.

Good for you. Though the thing is, if it works out it's great. But if doesn't, which is more often then you think, then all hell breaks out. Being professional while you are an emotional wreck is bad enough already, imagine doing so while you work or see your ex everyday while people around you gossip.

I hear you and understand the potential downsides.
But fuck it man - I would say don't fear about "What if it doesn't work" but rather chase "What if it works".

Used to have a crush on a girl from QA in the last org. We went to a team party and discovered that she is a heavy drinker. That's it, end of story.

One of my crushes is a heavy drinker :/
What's the issue with heavy drinker?
Does she gets offensive and rude after drinking?
Does she pukes all over?
Does she ask for monies?
Are you planning to marry her?

CXO is my last company had an affair with a girl in my extended team and man, it was so weird.
She would behave as if she is the CMO and he would work like a driver, care taker of her. It used to become very weird in the team due to gossips (as they would travel every week outstation on company cost even though she wasn't involved in any related meetings.)
Better to keep personal and professional life separate (if not for you, for other people in the team)
PS: there may be a low possibility that it may work out

And as per rumors, when promoters got to know about the affair, she was asked to leave strangely and nothing happened to the CXO.
(that's how the power translates in these affairs)
