Five People you Should Avoid Dating at Work

Things really can go mistaken when you become romantically involved with someone at your workplace - and what matters the most is who you're dating.

Eighteen percent said their workplace dalliance led them or their romantic partner to leave the company.

According to ABC News, here's a list of five people you should never date to ignore becoming one of these workplace-dating casualties.

1. The Intern

So much can go wrong when dating an intern, helper or any other underling that such temptations are best left alone.

2. The IT Guy or Gal

Nothing beats having your request for computer assistance increase to the top of the tech support queue. But fall out of grace with your technically inclined valentine and you'll have to endure the tech support call of digrace any time your computer has the hiccups.

3. The Boss

Throw sex, unrequited love and/or an ugly break-up into the collaboration and there's no telling how far your professional reputation could plummet.

4. The Boss's Spouse

Sleeping with a married co-worker is never a well idea. But sleeping with the boss's substantial other is nothing short of career suicide.

5. The Serial Dater

Cozy up to the office philanderer and you make yourself a prime direct for professional gossip and hostility.
