I hear many times that dating a co-worker is a bad idea. I understand the argument. You could be so absorbed in the person that you don't do your job as well as you should, or if you break up, that might be a source of future awkwardness.
But what if that person that lights your heart on fire and makes you smile more than you ever thought was possible, what if they happen to be one desk over? Should you ignore love just because of it's tricky placement? Is it possible to seperate the two enough to function normally?
These things have been on my mind after a conversatin with a girl I work with. It seems all the girls in the office want to set me up with the guy who shares my desk. (They feel sorry for me mostly, I think.) He's a great guy but I think perhaps this one's destined to be a good friend. His friendship means more to me than any silly relationship.
