People say that familiarity breeds contempt. But there are times when it breeds love as well. Imagine going in the same place everyday and sittings right beside a very attractive co-worker for eight hours. Who wouldn’t fall in love under such circumstance? In cases where office romance is bout to bloom, it is best to keep things in secret. Most especially if you work at a company that prohibits romantic workplace relationship. But in times where resisting the feeling may not be your best option, the next best thing that you can do is to keep it among you and your mate.

One best way to keep co workers from noticing any workplace relationship among you and your lover is by simply not talking about it. After all it is about your personal life, you have the right to keep it to yourself. If someone asks about your love life, try to give vague answer. You are free to admit that you are indeed seeing someone just do not go into details as it might endanger your professional life. Another way to avoid people from noticing any office romance that is happening among you and any co worker is by keeping up appearances.

Do not do something that will spark people’s curiosity. If you are close friends before the relationship, maintain that level of friendliness. Acting weird may get a nosy co worker to notice something odd about you and your actions towards one another. When you are at work, focus your attention at whatever is it that you are doing. There are times that when you are dating someone, you unconsciously look at that person. This is why in any secret workplace relationship, it is best to keep your eyes in its proper place. If you and the one that you are dating are in the same team or department, maintain professionalism. As much as possible, avoid being the object of mockery. Treat the person that you are dating in the same way that you would treat other coworkers.
