1-in-3 Washingtonians Want To Ban Office Romance!
There is an old saying about “Never dip your pen in company ink.”
It is a smart one, usually meant to warn of dangers dealing with office romance, work place hookups, and desk dates.
I’ve had a minor successful work place romance. We dated for over 6 months, and when we broke up, it was due to feelings not growing. Nothing work place related, besides the fact that that is how we got to know each other.
My co-worker John Riggs met his beautiful bride Michelle at our work place, and have been happily married for 23 years.
