Romantic relationships with work colleagues

Not me.
Colleague seems to only 'shop' around at work. Even keeps condoms in his top draw lol.
 
As long as they are both in the same hierarchy then it should be fine but once you start dating your manager etc then it can become problematic.

Too much conflict of interest.
 
I have over the years had a few odds and ends through the various companies I worked. Always just been a side fling thing nothing serious. No strings attached, no feels just having a bit of adult fun between consenting adults. Never been an issue...

Started at a new company August last year, met this beautiful woman at a work function who took my breath away the first time I saw her. I immediately felt the sparks but she's 10 years my junior. She even mentioned she's married and has 2 children in our brief conversation. I left it there and life went on. Fast forward 2 months and we have another work function. The one lady who is suppose to lock up after the function wants to leave but there are still a couple of people having a jol. While I'm standing at the bar, she (the beautiful redhead godess) tell the lady it's fine she and I will lock up in earshot of myself. A bit shocked I immediately knew where this was going.

We started chatting, people started leaving and eventually only us two alone. One thing led to another and she rocked my world that night. I have always been able to keep adult fun and feelings completely separate, but I fell for her head and heels. Now things are very complicated on her side and mine. Get this hot and cold vibes from her. We have long conversations and go out for coffee and the likes. But the Hot and Coldness is starting to put me off completely. I understand where she is coming from and would love to give her the time she needs, but man... I'm 100% in love with this chick.

This is making my life so complicated atm. But I'll ride it out and see where it goes.

So back on topic: I say if you can keep your feelings and the fun separated, have at it, been doing it for years. And it's great fun for all involved. But when you catch feelings... EISH!

If you are both single, who gives two tits?
 
Don't do it. She can be an underwear model part-time and beg for it. Just. Don't. Do. It.

Sounds fun. But she's married. You could never build a solid relationship off that
 
Been there done that, three times.

Colleague from JNB - moved her down to CTN, had a LTR and that ended after we moved up to JNB.

CEO's PA after breakup above - Same company in JNB, man that woman knew things.

Moved back to CTN and had a five year affair with a married colleague. Hubby found out and that ended it. Four years later they divorced and we still hookup on occasion.
 
Did it once. Was back in mid 2019/early 2020.

We first met when she was a consultant for a 3rd party company. She was based up in JHB and I in Cape Town. So whenever she was down in Cape Town we'd hook up and it was casual. Company I worked for ending up poaching her.

This meant she'd start coming down to Cape Town more and spending weekends. So whenever she was down we'd go out for dinner every night, jolling on the weekends, she met a bunch of my friends, met my mother. We were both single and never put a label on it, but we were definitely exclusive. One weekend she even bought a plane ticket out of her own pocket and flew down just so we could spend the weekend together.

Anyway 2020 arrives and she offers to fly me up to JHB for the Easter weekend to meet her parents and all her friends. As we all now we go into lockdown and don't end up seeing each other for 6 months (we still spoke everyday.)

When I did see her 6 months later I could tell things had changed on her side. She turned around at dinner one night and said she'd rather just prefer to go as friends (she completely forgot to mention she had started seeing some dude who's absolutely loaded.)

Fast forward to now and we still both work for the same company. See each other when I'm in JHB and her in Cape Town. Keep it polite but professional. We haven't spoke personally or gone out for drinks/dinner since she ended things.

So yeah it's def possible.
