The office romance is a trope we've all fantasized about at one point, right?
How many of us would've have loved to find the Jim to our Pam, or the Mulder to our Scully?
Alas, fantasizing about dating a co-worker is probably as far as an actual relationship needs to go; life isn't a tv show after all.
Dating a co-worker can lead to a messy road, one with implications neither party probably thoroughly thought of when they entered this courtship.
In case you need more convincing, Medium put together a list of ten reasons why dating a co-worker is just a terrible idea.
1 - You may be blamed for harassment.
2 - Your company may fire you.
3 - People might gossip about you.
4 - Your work will disturb your home life.
5 - People will get jealous of you.
6 - It will be difficult for you to move on.
7 - It will become problematic in case of a breakup.
8 - It will create competitive challenges.
9 - Your workplace may divide into two groups.
10 - You cannot keep it secret.
Still not convinced? Remember on Grey's Anatomy when they hooked up George and Izzie? Now THAT was a terrible workplace romance.
