FabSwingers.com forum: Relationships at work, ever had one?

By (user no longer on site) OP

I never have had even a kiss with anyone I work with to date. I have a male colleague that I get on very well with. A couple of other colleagues have commented to me that we’d suit each other and they think he wants to be more than friends. I’ve just always thought there’s too many pitfalls if it all goes tits up.

So have you ever had a relationship with a work colleague and was it successful?

Things have happened with people I've worked with but I've never dated them. But nothing was ever awkward. Just insanely flirtatious the next day.

I've never had a relationship, but have had the odd one nighters

I've dated clients and sometimes it can work but in my opinion I'd stay away from this option

I dated someone in my 20s when we both worked in a leisure centre. We were together for over 7 years.

I was his boss and we had lots of fun. All my mates and housemates worked there too. I left to join the airlines so we weren’t working together anymore when we broke up. I think things were more exciting when we worked together.

flirted with, then went on three dates, with a girl from another department, and decided I didn't want to go out with her.

She said fine but I could still Shag her.

So friends with benefits, until she started getting too clingy.

She was later made redundant and ended up redeployed to my department.

That was awkward.

We're just friends now.

Sadly had a bit of fun with a couple ladies in my office. Bad bad idea, it lead to squabbling and the manager moving them on.

There was a third a lovely woman who I really connected with, but never slept with her. Called it off as it could've gotten serious, I was too young and really didn't have much to offer. Read that as I bottled it!! ??

A few years ago I ended up sleeping with a colleague while we worked together. Went to have an open relationship after we both finished working there. He introduced me to Fab.

Currently having... something going on with someone at work. Keeping that out of the workplace and no one else has a clue as we don't look like we're even particularly good friends. But it's nice.

Not relationships but a few dalliances in my younger days. I know quite a few that made relationships work.

I have slept with a few people from work but more because we became good friends outside of work too and ended up sleeping together a few times.

Certainly havnt had a 'relationship' with anyone at work.

There are lots of people in my office who met at work and are now married so I would imagine there are just as many in earlier stages of a relationship.

Yes, it was great. The secrecy of it was thrilling, the fact you went in to work every day looking your best, actually being excited to go in, e-mailing, visiting her department, passing on the corridor, seeing her in the communal areas etc, and of course the more fleeting intimate moments in the workplace. It was a great experience.

We fell into bed (and the beer cellar, the pool table and behind the bar) almost 20 years ago! Not bad for a workplace fling!

It’s fun pretty much to start with but when it goes wrong which most of them do it’s a nightmare, if your friends with this guy and you value it then stay friends, that way neither of you get hurt

Nope and i don’t think i would either.

In a previous job, a female colleague did and I’ve seen what happens when it goes seriously wrong and the fallout from it when one party gets a bit vindictive. The atmosphere in our office was awful. Constant sniping and bickering which escalated (both sides shouting at each other in the office in front of colleagues). He then got accused of harrassment by her and was sacked and escorted off the premises.

She was never taken seriously in her job role after that and left to go to another company.
