Bad, always bad. For example, here's one incident: the guy was my boss. Who was dating a friend of mine that I hadn't seen in a long time, but I didn't know they were an item. She found out about me and our friendship ended. And the most f***ed up part of that one was that I didn't really like the guy. I found him annoying and I wasn't attracted to him. It was just one of those drunken mistakes. And it was so awkward at work after that, I eventually quit once I'd found another place to work. After that one I put into place a strict "don't s*** where you eat" rule.

I would particularly like to hear good stories if possible.

^Then you really shouldn't have said "good and bad." Lemme guess, you have wood for some girl you work with, but you're too chickens*** to act on it until you hear some "I met Marcia at work and we had a great relationship, and even though it ended we still manage to be civil with each other at work" stories, am I right?

Actually its ok to have the hots for someone at work it gives you the motivation to get up early look your best and go to work. But no to serious relationship. It always fcks up. Trust me just flirt with her. Just fun thats all.

chad-are you trying to justify seeing a coworker?
this may sound sexist..but somehow i think it's easier for men to get away with it. esp. in a male dominated profession like yours where it would be "high five" to date the receptionist or something. if you date another lawyer then i'ts a bit riskier, but in terms of damage control again i'ts probably worse for the female......i guess there is also the nature of the potential "fall out"...
it's generally unadvisable.

Youll realise what a bad idea it is along the way. And you would be soo relieved you didnt do anything serious.

I want to bang all of the tiny hot female 18 yr old hosts at my job along with another co-worker of mine, but the dice has not rolled my way... Sorry for the lack of tact/sensitivity/manners - wait no I'm not!
Fortunately for me I have not had the opportunity in all of my years to embark on such a journey, so I have not the headache of dealing with the inevitably messy aftermath.
P.S. she's an attorney in training? What are you trying to do, ruin her image at your work place just so you can tap that? The other girl was right when she said women have a harder time with damage control, especially in your field.
The only work relationships I have seen work are where are when one of the people in the couple eventually leave, planned or unplanned, in order to maintain their relationship. It's simply NOT a good idea to work in the same place as a significant other. Not only due to the "Don't s*** Where You Eat" mantra, but because you will eventually annoy the living crap out of each other from being in each other's faces in and out of the workplace.

I had I guess what I'd call an "incident" with a co-worker. She had a boyfriend, but any time we had some kind of happy hour or some of us got together and there was drinking involved she'd plant one on me whenever she thought nobody was looking. It never really escalated beyond this, and then she sort of said that it couldn't go any further unless she broke up with her boyfriend for me, and I said definitely DON'T do that, and it pretty much ended. I started dating someone not too long after and I got some angry stares from her for a couple of months but eventually it kind of died down, and now everything is pretty much fine. See, it doesn't always have to be a disaster.

If you've already weighed out the potential awkwardness that would come from a future break-up against the odds of how good the relationship could turn out, then I say go for it.
