I Know What Boys Like.... There are some pros and cons in dating a co-worker. There are also some tips that aid in keeping out of trouble in the presence of the girlfriend. A couple things...don't involve others in your disputes. This often times results in a division between the men and women in the office. You go from your girlfriend thinking you are a jerk, to everyone of the opposite sex thinking you are a jerk. Also, don't try and pretend that you aren't really a couple in the office, because you both know you are, so it leads to many awkward moments. If you try to give your girlfriend rules and policies that she must follow, It won't go over well. And although the time spent together may be rewarding, time in the office is never as good as times outside of it. The influence of other co-workers can be disastrous to a relationship if there is the constant need to prove who is in control of the rela tionship. The advice here is to hide it as best you can for as long as you can. It's probably not the professional advice you would receive on the matter, but for the sake of yourself, your girlfriend and the other co-workers, I strongly advise it.

Hum, this is a tough one. To date or not to date, that is the question. While the main objective in college is to experience as many things as possible, this may not be one of them. There are many factors to take into consideration. How well do yOu really know the person? Maybe not as well as you thought. Sure you spend anywhere between 5 and 8 hours a day with this person, but all you are seeing is the 'work personality.' What are they like outside of this environment? But that might be some of the appeal. You really like the way the person you know acts, so why not give them a shot? Sure, it might not work out, and there is always the possibility that it will make the work environment weird and uncomfortable if things don't work out. There is also the fact that it might make relations with others in the office weird. In the end though, it's the experience that counts. Go ahead and give it a try. And every once in a while, you may find the real thing in an environment where you are more times than not, forced to act more polite than you really are. in Erie Cancer (June 22 - July 23).
