Just because you are dating some one at work doesn't meen that you will be making out while your at work. As long as you keep it professional at work I see no problem with it.

I am happily married to my husband who I met at work. Everyone at work knew while we were still dating but we never make any physical contact at work. I would never even think of holding his hand or kissing him at work. Even if we are there for reasons other than work. I think that is unprofessional.

We do have a few "couples" at work that do hold hands and kiss and make out at work. I can't stand that.

I find this comment somewhat offensive. Hubby and I have been together for almost 10 years, and have worked together most of that time. We have NEVER been in the back "making out" while at work. We're "busting it out front" with everyone else.

Hey all....I am very happy to read the posts for you nursesfor finding love at work...hehe. I guess I was a bad girl back then; had several fiery affairs w/ co-workers. That was many moons ago...when I was a new nurse. Enjoyed the excitement of it...hmmm. Sweet memories. Never married a co-worker, but did live w/ a couple of them. Good thing that I did not...sometimes, if you are in a relationship w/ someone who is not on your level (e.g. RN payscale) the other person might take advantage of your money, etc. Or...get "jealous" because you make too much more than they do.
I just had to reply to this one, as it sounded interesting. Sorry if I offended any of you people out there.

Yes, I've dated people at work many times and everytime it turned out to be a miserable nightmare...when will I learn.

My wife and I met at work (She was a supervisor who hurt her back and I met her as a patient) and we will celebrate our 35th anniversity this thanksgiving!

Hooray for us chubby women! It's funny...now that I've been married for over 5 years, I get asked out by patients and docs...it's all in being yourself, maintaining professionalism and decorum, and getting the job done. The nurses I have worked with for awhile see me as the "Mom" of the group which really cracks me up when I get asked out! I don't consider myself drop-dead gorgeous (especially with all the young, fit, blond nurses around) but it makes me smile when I get asked out. I always say no and thank them for the compliment.
