i have been working in diffenrent firms since 1990, there have been so many instances of my colleagues falling in love, but so far i have not been in love with any of my colleagues, maybe because i started out in amangerial position and i always wanted to portray my self as more stoic, though i have had my share of love outside the office, but necer inside

yes and we are still together after three years LOL. but we did not become a couple while we were still working together. we just met in the same company, then I resigned. He said he was lonely when I was no longer working there so he resigned too. we started dating after we were no longer in the same company =)

Inter offcie relationships have been prohibited in my office. There was an incident wawhile back between this couple, they eventually split up. He apparently engaged in some lude acts on company propert with her. She later tried to have him fired but was unsuccessful. She eventualy quit and so after the no inter office relationships rule was put in place to keep something like this from happening again.

Nope! My ex manager fell inlove with one of the ex colleagues (things happen in call centres), but their relationship was very discreet, professional and very private, most people would suspect and gossip about it but nobody ever caught them making out or something like that, they seemed like close friends that's all, until they announced their engagement and sent out invites for the engagement party. I guess it doesn't have to be all that bad depending on the way the couple carries themselves in the relationship. There should obviously be lines drawn and a distinct separation from work and pleasure. Just my opinion . . .

I have never fallen in love with any collegue. but i think its quite natural thing and also not rare. In previous company, othr colleague was feeling something for me. but i resisted it as I think it was not true from his side.
