If you really like each other I guess a pro may be you get to see each other everyday. However, that can also suck when you get into fights and don't want to be around each other for a little while. Also if you break up.

Exactly, I mean what happens if things go really bad? the thing is what if they don't go bad? I have mat many people that date people they work with.
What about when your friends break up? Would you date there X?"Remember always, that you not only have the right to be an individual, you have an obligation to be one."

In here lies two questions...first is dating someone from work.
1) it happens all the time, the reality is a few things, one - make sure there is no conflict of interest. ie: dating your boss....if possible get transfered.
With that, dating someone from work can be alot of fun, I've done it...mind you when we worked together things were going really really well. But other people from that workplace dated and when they broke up it made life difficult for everyone around....
2) dating a friends ex...i asked this on here once, i have mixed feelings about it. I know personally I would be upset if a friend of mine dated my ex. But at the same time, i know how tempting it is to get with a friends ex. (I had a chance to shag a buddy's ex, shortly after they broke up...but I didnt out of respect to him). so with regards to that, I would say it all depends on the situation, how your friend feels about their ex...and what the history is there...and how much you care about your friendship...

Dating someone might not be that bad, but if you're living with them, then I wouldn't do it. It all depends on your outlook on it I suppose. Personally, I like getting away from the significant other and I don't think I'd want to work with her.
As for dating your friends ex, forget it. That's just stupidity. Why cause tension? Friends last alot longer than a temporary girlfriend.

It's not a great idea to date your friend's ex. However if you absolutley must, get permission from your friend before you do so. If you get the ok, then date them. Make sure to hit it too and brag to your friend on how you beat that up!
MUAHAHA!

I do not think that dating you friends x is a good idea. There are rules about that, even if you ask for your friends blessing. It's the whole "sloppy seconds" thing. Men come and go but friends don't.
I don't know about dating someone at work. Personally, I agree with LINEBACKER_2. I like having the seperation. If you office flirt and I won't lie , I do, I think the boyfirend would be a little jealous and I can't deal with that at work. Besides, what if you want to have lunch with a friend and not with him, it's just to complicated.

Damn, once again, I totally agree with Jane. I'm a total flirt and I'm sure the g/f/wife would absolutely hate it if she found out that this was common practice with me.
It's way too complicated to deal with, and it's not worth the effort.
And the same goes for dating your friends ex. It's sloppy seconds and it could cause a ton of tension between you and your friend. I mean what is more important? Your friend, or you temporary girlfriend?
If you are still deciding what to do, then you should probably get your priorities in order.

Maybe we are actually the same person? I love the way you think...

Taken by storm I'm afraid...LINEBACKER_2... Can I be your Quarterback? or am I the Wide Reciever?
