People Who Acted On Sexual Tension With A Coworker Reveal What Happened

Never dip your pen in the company ink.

An age-old saying warning you not to seek out love within your workplace.

In most cases, this is just a word of caution. In others, dating your colleagues is still against company policies or can only be done after a mountain load of paperwork is completed.

While some might find this ridiculous, many find it understandable and adhere very closely to these rules.

After all, what could be more awkward than your ex or an ill-advised one-night stand sitting in the next cubicle over?

Even so, when you think you feel sexual tension with a colleague or co-worker, it can be hard not to act on that impulse.

Because really, what's the worst that could happen?

You never know when love might hit you, and sometimes it might be on an elevator to your office.

Even so, always proceed with caution.

After all, think about how awkward it is to run into an ex or a one-night stand on the street, then think about what that would be like 8 hours a day, five days a week...
