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.
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".
Don't dip your pen in company ink.

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.
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)
Have u ever resigned without any offer in hand?
If yes what was the reason and how things went ahead??
You don't hookup where you vlookup
I seriously would like to know how to go about asking someone you like in an office setup? Without it becoming awkward later on if handed with rejection. Also making sure that the person being asked out does not feel creeped out.
Had never told him, was never gonna get married to him anyway (different religion) Just that his wife isn't as hot as him, kinda let down ðŸ«
