Someone must had turned a blind eye...

I lol'd at the outrage Twitter insert. Sorry bud, he's still a doctor.

To expand on The Office Pool is Not Your Dating Pool:
A good match can happen. But it should happen despite one's best efforts- an almost Hollywood level of mutual attraction that leads to something long term.
Then again, what do you do if the relationship doesn't work out And you still got to see that person, day after day. And everyone is splitting into camps over who was right...

In the end, if a relationship happens, it happens. But if one is shopping for a date, best to look outside of work.

Funny enough, in my situation, dating inside the organization commonly uncommon- for us few singles over here. Every couple of years, two singles will become a couple, and get married.
Normally, we act with a hands-off, friendly politeness towards the opposite sex. However, we had one dude who had some serious marriage desperation going on- a not uncommon thing for single male missionaries over 30 on the field for the first time. He quickly turned off every single single female on the field- ladies can sense male desperation like a dog can sense fear, and it turns them flat off.

I'm glad you managed to find humor in an article about a man that molested 125 children.

I disagree that office dating is an absolute no. I think one just has to be aware of the potential implications if it doesn't work out and use good judgement. Is it appropriate in most instances? No, probably not. But there are examples of how it's worked out just fine.

(My wife and I met at work. We later ended up in very separate careers, but still quite happily married almost 8 years later.)

I also met my wife at work. Married 20+ years. Left that employer, reluctantly, a few years into the marriage to avoid the financial risk of having both salaries coming from the same tech company. Wife is still there.

I think you can grow a personal relationship at work as long as it is with your equal peer. A dishwasher can date a dishwasher, but when the dishwasher is dating the chef....

If I got upset about every single thing I read on the internet I'd kill myself.

Doesn't matter what he did, he's still a doctor by profession. It's like yelling "He's not an accountant he's a bastard!" like they're mutually exclusive.

I just LoL’d a little. Must be due to your off-beat sense of humour.
