The experts can warn you until they're blue in the face: Beware of office romances. But there that special someone is: So cute, such chemistry, so nice -- this could be the love of your life, or at least the romance of your week. You don't want to just say no, but are you at grave risk of one day getting fired, sued or both? No guarantees, but here are five ways to maximize your chances of enjoying a workplace romance and surviving to tell the tale.

1. Be Honest with Your Prospective Partner

2. Think Twice Before Starting a Relationship with Your Boss

3. Think 10 Times Before Starting a Relationship with Your Direct Report

4. Keep It Quiet

5. Have Fun

1. For a split second, I thought your sig had to do with the thread.

And I was like :wow: but it wasn't.

2. I've never dated women at work, and I work in a female majority profession

never really had the opporunity, though I did have a female supervisor or two that I wouldn't have minded a roll in the hay with years back...

3. So if I'm contemplating a 3 way with my boss and a direct report, do I

think 12 times, or is that a multiplier?

4. Uh, your boss is a dude.

OMG! The site that must not be named is right! Why didn't you tell me you were gay?!?!?!?!?!

:rofl:

5. Too Late...

1. Be Honest with Your Prospective Partner: Too late, now I need to get that vacation home in the Alps...

2. Think Twice Before Starting a Relationship with Your Boss: How the hell do you think I got this promotion?

3. Think 10 Times Before Starting a Relationship with Your Direct Report: Too Late...

4. Keep It Quiet: Thats no fun, no fun at all.

5. Have Fun: I have, thanks...
