9 Rules for Hooking Up with Coworkers

Tomorrow morning with "Sean and Bethany..."

Someone came up with a list of eight rules for hooking up with a co-worker. (Definitely not us though,  just to be clear). And then of course I added one at the end that I think you'll enjoy.

Here they are:

1. You can only hook up with ONE... not one at a time. Really, just one unless you get a new job first, or they do.

2.  If they break rule number one, you have to be okay with it and you have to be the adult in the situation.

3.  It can't be anyone you work with directly. If you work too closely, it'll definitely get weird.

4.  It can't be anyone who might intentionally cause drama. So the 20-year-old intern is probably out. And obviously someone who's single and not MARRIED is best.

5.  It can't be your boss, or someone who works directly under you. (Wink, wink) Otherwise, lawsuits all day.

6.  You can't talk about it at work. (Wait, shouldn't this be #1!?!?!)  Part of this one is also trying to find a balance where you don't flirt too much with the person, but you also don't weirdly ignore them.

7.  If things DO start to get serious, tell your manager as soon as possible.

8.  If it turns out there's drama, (and there will probably be at some point) don't bring it to work.

9. Don't. Just don't.

So there, should you decide to do the dirty at the office, now you have a couple of guidelines to print off and give to the person first. Good luck! Happy canoodling!
