There is no doubt that meeting at “the water cooler” has been a preferred
dating spot for eons of time. But this doesn’t necessarily make it ideal.
Dating is the easy part. Keeping it quiet isn’t. And gossip can be
overwhelmingly negative. And admit it girls, women have the monopoly on this
and can’t wait to discuss a scandal. Those engaged in office dating also run
the big risk of the breakup. This is the really awkward part. How can you still
work with a man whom you have come to despise and loath, especially if you see
him with a “new” woman? To illustrate, it turns out that two television news
anchors in Los Angeles began dating
each other. After all, it’s the land of the “beautiful people,” who can’t seem
to keep their hands off each other, married or not. Anyway, after the
inevitable breakup the off-camera fireworks in the studio became the stuff of
legend. If only their language, not to mention the thrown objects, had actually
gotten on the air, this is the stuff of a ratings heaven. Such are the
possibilities of the office romance.
