Dating at the Job

I always thought I'd have more chance in a work environment to find someone. You are (usually) around people, work with them, talk to them, and learn to know them. I think this is a very good setup. You hang with someone during lunch hours, and if the attraction is mutual, you get a cup of coffee sometime.


Unfortunately for me, I work in an all-guy environment (I'm a programmer). Sure, there are other people in different departments, but with my work in front of a computer monitor all day, I almost never see them. Even if I was, the majority of them have husbands and kids. Besides, let's be honest - people tend to see the computer guys as anti-social before seeing them as just shy.


This is not for everyone, though. I've heard many people say that they wouldn't want to be close to their wife for 24h every day. They need their time away from her. I don't really understand that - if you're with the person of your life, wouldn't you be happy to see him/her all day, for better or worse, forever? Just a thought...


So I guess this possibility is not for me (unless luck strikes). Seriously, I think that for most jobs out there, this seems to be a very good opportunity.

    En passant, je pense comme la plupart des gens. Je ne serais pas capable de voir Dan toute la journée au travail, et de la voir aussi a la maison. Au début, ça dérangerait pas, mais a la longue, ça tomberait sur les nerfs. C'est le peu de moment ensemble qui fait que c'est plus fort! Si on est toujours ensemble ou a la même place, on aurait pas de gros high.... comprends tu?

    et "people tend to see the computer guys as anti-social before seeing them as just shy." PAS VRAI... entk pas pour moi....

    Mais d'un autre côté, tu va passer le reste de ta vie avec, donc pourquoi ça te dérangerait de l'avoir 24h / 24?

    trop c'est comme pas assez... si tu vois trop une personne, ça tombe sur les nerfs. Entk pour moi.

    Quand Dan travaille full pendant l'over de juin, je ne le vois presque pas pendant 2-3 semaines. Quand il a terminé ces semaines de fous et qu'on recommence les soupers, les activités en famille, ça me fait boum boum dans mon coeur...

    Je pense qu'au début d'une relation ça ne dérange pas... mais un moment donné faut se garder un p'tit moment seul...
