I think we’ve all had a “work crush” or two. I’ve certainly had my share. There was the classy blond with the dimples who used to come in to my work sometimes. I bet she had no idea I used to dress extra nice on the days she showed up. Or that her dimples had the power to make me her slave.

Then of course there was the coworker who’s flirtatious games made me linger at work for hours. Playful banter and secret glances at the purple chair. Oh, that enticing purple chair…

Further back I can remember coworkers and girls at conferences with smiles that made me excited to go to work every morning.

So why does THE MAN try to prevent us from reaching our romantic potential in the workplace?? Are we really so unproductive when we’re twitterpated? Why is dating our coworkers such a bad thing? Sure, maybe all those flirtatious glances and knowing eyes can be distracting, but think of the upswing in office morale! Workers who WANT to come to work! What company or business wouldn’t want that?? I really think I’m on to something here. This could shape a new world of American business! Embracing and encouraging inter-office relationships. I may have single-handedly saved the future of the world economy!!

Unless of course there’s a messy breakup… In which case, I can see why dating in the workplace might be discouraged.
