Office romances are on the rise as people turn away from dating apps in search of more organic connections, according to dating and relationships coach Christiana Maxion. While dating apps have created a lack of trust and accountability, workplace romances offer a different dynamic. However, dating a coworker comes with its own challenges, such as maintaining work-life balance and navigating potential awkward breakups. Despite the risks, many workers are open to the idea, with 58% of employees having engaged in a romantic relationship with a colleague at some point. To make a workplace romance successful, it’s important to communicate openly, be professional, and avoid spreading gossip or bitterness if the relationship doesn’t work out.
