Research has shown that you\u2019ve a higher chance of meeting your significant husband at work than anywhere else (with the exception of online dating that is!). So now work is back in full swing after the Christmas period so if you\u2019ve made it your New Year\u2019s resolution to approach that special someone at work we have some tips for you!<\/p>\n
Is he single?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
Now it\u2019s likely that since you only know this guy from the office, you may not know the in\u2019s and out\u2019s of this guys situation. So check that he\u2019s single before jumping in.<\/p>\n
Be sensible.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
We\u2019re just going to come straight out and say it, boss-employee relationships are not a good idea. They can cause ill feeling in the office not to mention awkwardness and damaged careers if it doesn\u2019t last.<\/p>\n
Set some ground rules.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
When you\u2019re getting it on with someone in the office it\u2019s always a good idea to have some ground rules in place such as are you going to tell co-workers, how are you going to act at work? What if the relationship doesn\u2019t go anywhere? Yes it may seem a bit of a serious chat to have when you\u2019re just having fun but it\u2019s better to agree on these things upfront.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t try to hide.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
Of course you don\u2019t always want to tell the whole world but trying to hide a blossoming romance doesn\u2019t always work either. It\u2019s always a good idea to let HR and your boss know so that it saves any career headaches.<\/p>\n
Keep it professional.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
When you\u2019re in the office, you\u2019re work colleagues. Regardless of what\u2019s going on at home so always keep it professional. That means no big gestures on Valentines day or mushy emails and public displays of affection over the photocopier. You don\u2019t want to cause other colleagues to feel uncomfortable in your presence.<\/p>\n
