10 Tips For Dating A Coworker

Dating someone in your professional field can be awesome. They will understand your passion more than a partner outside the field, and you can discuss things that they can relate to. This is one advantage of dating a co-worker. However, while dating a coworker is a brilliant idea there are things that you need to take into consideration.

First and foremost, how will the relationship affect you and others around you professionally? Trust me, you don’t want to ruin your career for a romance that may not work out. It becomes hard to work in the same environment after a breakup.

While this may not be the case for you, you still need to make preparations and weigh the pros and cons. There are however cases where relationships started out in the workplace and they were successful. We cannot predict the outcome, but we can prepare ourselves for it.

How to date a co-worker?

Dating a co-worker is similar to dating anyone except that they work with you. You see them every day and spend most of your time with them. Hence it is easy to build attraction and bond in this situation.

Dating a coworker should be approached with caution and taken slowly. Build a friendship first and then you proceed to ask the person out. Once you spend sufficient time outside of the office you will be able to tell if the feeling is mutual. If the feeling is mutual, then you can express your desire to date.

Tips For Dating A Coworker

Know the rules and abide by them

Dating co-workers can be regarded as a breach of professional ethics and it is not a culture that is tolerated everywhere. Many organizations want their employees to focus and give their best so they may not allow dating. Being emotionally attached to someone at work can interfere with productivity.  Some organizations will allow it, as long as it does not interfere with the company’s productivity. But before you consider dating a co-worker, be sure that it is safe and ethical.

 

Avoid any form of harassment

You want to date a woman or man you cannot stop thinking about. Bear in mind the feelings may not be mutual and making advances can make the person uncomfortable. You have to be careful as it may seem like you are harassing the person. Start slowly by just hanging out and see if the person feels comfortable or reciprocates the feeling. If you are rejected, then do not pressure the person. Let it go and focus on your job.

Maintain excellent job performance

After you are sure your romance is aligned with the organization’s code and ethics, then it is time to prove that you can handle yourself well even though you are dating a co-worker.

Hopefully, you have an honorable reputation that you will continue to uphold during the tenure of the relationship. If a break up happens, you should still honor that reputation and retain your usual outstanding job performance.

Establish boundaries

There is a place for everything. If you are dating a co-worker, make sure that when you are at work it is strictly business. Romance should be done outside of office hours. Be considerate of other employees and keep things on the low while at work.

Do not give preferential treatment to your significant other but treat him or her the same way you treat other employees. This will minimize animosity. In addition, keep lovers quarrel where they belong. I understand the anger is boiling to the point where you want to scream at your partner but self-control is the key. Creating a scene at work may get you both fired.

 

Nurture the relationship

You want this relationship to be successful right? Nurture it and treat it seriously. Do not bring work into the picture when you both have your alone time. Find other areas of interest and common ground. Get to know the person beyond the professional mask and build deep connections. Apart from winning lawsuits against clients, what else is your partner good at? Get to know your partner.

 

Discuss if you want the relationship to be public

You must discuss with your co-worker if you both want the relationship to be public at work. It is a choice that both partners should agree on. There are pros and cons associated with the decision made. If you go public it will be much easier as you don’t want to be hiding things for too long as it will put a strain on both partners.

Over time, things will get suspicious and before you know it everyone on the floor knows you are dating the secretary or the project manager. Informing your boss and colleagues about the relationship can make things run smoothly. Do this when you are both secure and the relationship is in a serious stage. There is no need to be discreet, provided that you have checked with the company’s policy and it is allowed.

 

Don’t confide in other co-workers

You can confide in other co-workers about your personal life but once it involves someone else, keep quiet. It does not matter if the co-worker is your friend. Do not discuss your partner’s personal life with other co-workers.

This can result in gossip and which can destroy the relationship. Respect the privacy of the person you are dating. Leave it up to them to disclose things about themselves.

 

Don’t use your work email to communicate

This tip reinforces your need to keep things professional. The work email should be strictly for work. I know you will be tempted to text them to let them know how gorgeous they look today, but you don’t know who is monitoring those emails and how the conversation will turn out. The work email is not for personal use.

Date within your league

There are success stories where people date their bosses and those higher than them. However, it does not portray a good image, and sometimes it can damage your reputation.

It will not be seen as genuine, especially if a woman dates her boss. It can change the context of the working relationship and may lead to problems. In order to avoid conflict within the workplace, try to date within your league.

 

Be prepared if the relationship fails

If the relationship fails are you prepared to work within the same environment? If not, would you be financially stable to quit your job and find another job? These questions need to be taken into consideration.

Use your history to help you with these answers. In general, how did you handle breakups in the past? Of course, it will not be easy but are you strong enough to control your emotions until it is safe to let them out?

Wrapping it up

Dating a coworker can be awesome but it is risky at the same time. You need to be careful when  pursuing a romantic relationship with someone at work. It can be successful, just keep it professional and establish boundaries.

10 Tips on how to be more open minded

Travel

Making friends with people from different cultural backgrounds can help you to be more open-minded. You will experience culture shock, but you will appreciate the new experience. You can compare your culture to the new culture and understand the differences. Things that you have learned can enrich your life and make you flexible.

 

Learn new things

If you are an expert in a particular area, try learning something in another field. This will help incorporate what you learn into your area of expertise. It does not matter how good you are in a field; you can never stop learning. You don’t know everything, which is why learning can foster growth. You should not limit yourself to what you know but seek knowledge continuously.

 

Don’t shun opportunities

Sometimes we abruptly say no to suggestions without giving them a try. If you are given an opportunity to do something you have never done, give it a try. You may or may not like it, but you will not know unless you try. Who knows? You may find that you love it. Embrace opportunities because you may love what you find.

 

Read more

Reading can also help you if you are narrow-minded. You learn about things without experiencing them. That is the beauty of reading, especially if the writers are descriptive and eloquent. People who read regularly are usually knowledgeable and open minded.

Engage in discussions

Engaging in discussion with people can help you to be open-minded. You will be able to look at things from different points of view. Discuss a wide range of topics such as politics, relationships, religion, culture, cooking etc. Make sure those who you engage with are wise and critical.

Watch talk shows

There are television programs that discuss educational topics. They usually have a panel of experts who can share their perspectives. You can learn different perspectives and be enlightened. You will not be limited to your thinking and ideas when you learn from other perspectives.

 

Respect other people’s values

You may have different personal beliefs from others, and in this situation, you have to be understanding. Treat their values with the same respect as you treat your personal values. Understanding that everyone is different will help to foster a level of tolerance for other values.

 

Challenge your thoughts

It is okay to discuss with yourself. If you have ideologies, then challenge them. Ask yourself why you believe this. Is it because of my experiences? Would others think the same way? Some people adapt principles taught to them by parents and guardians without challenging them. Stepping outside of what you are used to and exploring can help you to be more open.

 

Learn the history

Before you start to make judgments about people and the world. Try to learn about the history. This will allow you to be more understanding. Sometimes you cannot understand complex things unless you put yourself in the position. History can explain many things that are different or seem abnormal to you.

 

Ask questions

The best way to learn is by asking questions. You can think deeper when you ask questions and analyze the answers given. You will understand why things work the way they do. Why people behave the way they do. So instead of making judgments about a person’s choices, ask them why they resort to this. Maybe it will help you to accept things you don’t agree with.

Wrapping up

It is hard to be open-minded, but it is possible. Being open-minded can help you be flexible in different situations. You can also live a fulfilling life when you are open-minded.

Entrepreneurship is even better than working for others. This allows you to have control over your earnings, schedule, and time. You create employment for not only yourself but others. Entrepreneurship can also boost a country’s economy.

People are motivated to become entrepreneurs because it is their passion and dream. They are not satisfied with working for others, and they like to be their own boss.

They develop products and services in order to do that. It gives people a sense of purpose when they have a goal they can work towards. Entrepreneurship is not easy, but it is worth it in the end. The journey is not without failure, but if it is a passion you will never quit.

 

8 Reasons to Become an Entrepreneur

 

Independence

Be your own boss

You will be more willing to work as your own boss. You can do anything you want. This includes setting the rules and creating the type of culture you want for your business. You can create your own work schedule and travel anytime you want. With the use of technology, you can still oversee your business while in a different geographical space.

Most corporate careers are usually restricted. You do the same task repetitiously every day. As an entrepreneur, you will face new challenges every day. You will be doing different things, including networking, marketing, and bookkeeping.

 

Build a brand

You can use your own ideas for your business. It is under your control as you will make the final decisions. The brand will represent you and your values.

 

Stable source of income

The earnings will be more than a 9-5 job, and it is also stable. You will not have to worry about being fired or laid off due to an economic crisis. You will have the ability to control how much you earn by the effort you put in.

 

Leave a legacy

You can greatly contribute to the world and leave an indelible mark. Your success and accomplishments will be recognized and appreciated. People will remember you for your unique products and services.

As an entrepreneur, you will be in a position to touch the lives of others. You can donate to the needy and the poor. It is a great feeling to help others and fulfill corporate social responsibilities. As an entrepreneur, you are also creating jobs for others. Your employees will be able to provide for their families and make a living.

 

Power

Without a degree, you can get power just by being an entrepreneur. Entrepreneurs get an elevated status through their success. It gives them power, and they can have a voice in communities they are a part of and around the world. They get invited to events to give motivational speeches, such as graduation ceremonies and public forums.

Wrapping it up

Being an entrepreneur provides many financial, personal, and social benefits. It is a challenging but rewarding experience that you will never regret. You will be building something very dear to your heart, and it gives you a sense of purpose.

Communicate

It is true that a lack of communication can end a friendship hence it requires work. Technology has made it easy to reach people anytime and anywhere. You have no excuse not to reach out to your friends and talk. Check on your friends and let them know that you care about them.

You cannot change a person for who they are and you have to accept it. We all have different personalities and preferences. Sometimes we have shortcomings and flaws. Accepting your friend for who they are is an important step when building a great friendship. This will make them comfortable around you.

 

Forgive

No one is perfect and people will do you wrong. You will need to forgive and let go if your friend hurts you in any way and this is very important if you don’t want the friendship to end. Discuss and talk about it instead of ignoring the person. They deserve to know what they did wrong instead of the silent treatment. After you talk about it, hopefully they won’t do it again.

 

Encourage

Encourage your friends to pursue their dreams or do the right things. Ultimately, you will be appreciated for doing this. We all need motivation at times, which is an essential role every friend should play. Be a motivator and an uplifter. Friends have the power to influence and use that power in a positive way.

 

 

Listen to your friends

Always give a listening ear when your friends need to express their feelings. A genuine friend is someone you can call at any time. If they are busy, they will call you back at an appropriate time and listen to their friends concerns. Sometimes we need to let out emotions and we need someone to listen to us. This is a very important role you should play if you want your friendship to last.

 

Compliment

Everybody likes compliments, and so does your friend. Compliment your friend on their achievements. This will show them that you are happy for them, and they will be motivated to make you proud.

 

Be honest

Honesty is important in all relationships and even friendships too. Your friends will be able to trust your word. If you lie to them, they will feel betrayed and lack of trust can damage your friendship.

I don’t recommend going to the beach as a first date idea, but a stroll on the beach is perfect. It can be done after something else like going to the movies or after dinner. It will act as a nice end to the date. The beach will provide nice scenery and a beautiful sunset to watch. This is an excellent date idea for nature lovers.

7 Benefits Of Being Single

Being single is not as traumatizing as everyone makes it. It can be fun, stress-free, and awesome. There are quite a number of benefits to living as a single person. You have more time for yourself and you can use this time wisely and improve yourself.

If there were any goals that you wanted to achieve, then it would be the perfect time to pursue your goals. You can travel and live where you want without any restrictions. Loneliness is often associated with the single life, but your life does not have to be lonely.

8 benefits of being single

 

Emotionally stable

A relationship can drain you emotionally. In every relationship, there are disagreements but sometimes it can exhaust you mentally, physically, and emotionally. You can also be happy and loving, but this is not always the case. It can be dirty with fights, cursing, and tears. It takes work and effort to make a relationship work.

 

You learn about yourself

You are heartbroken after a breakup, but you will heal as time passes. During this time you are learning how to handle pain. You will reflect on what went wrong in your relationship and how to improve the next one.

Once you survive this heartbreak, you learn about your strength and what you have endured. People usually become cautious when entering another relationship after a breakup. They learn about what to tolerate in a relationship and their limits.

 

You can do anything you want

As a single person, you can do anything you want. If you like traveling, you can travel the world at your own convenience. You can also live in any country of your choice. You don’t have to compromise and move in with a partner.

Sometimes couples break up because of differences in lifestyle and where they want to live. You will not have to worry about that as a single person. This single status allows you to choose the urban area if you like or the city. You can go to parties and have fun without giving an account to anyone. Freedom is in your hands.

You can focus on your career

Without any distractions such as a relationship, you can focus on developing your career. If you want to study for your master’s degree across the globe, you can do it. If you want to pursue your Ph.D. and become a professor, then you can. You will not have to balance your time and energy to accommodate a relationship or a family.

Sometimes successful individuals remain single because they cannot devote all their time and attention to a relationship. They choose to develop their career before pursuing a relationship. It is often after their career is stabilized that they seek a partner. If you don’t have a career, then focus on that while you are single. Everything will fall into place, the right career and the right person.

 

You can spend more time with family and friends

In a relationship, you spend most of your time with a partner, and sometimes your family and friends are neglected. You will be able to spend time with other people as a single person. Your best friend will be happy to have you all the time. You can nurture other important relationships. Your family will always be there for you so ensure that you spend time with them, especially when you are single.

 

You are independent

Decision-making is solely on you. You will be forced to do things by yourself and eventually enjoy it. One of the greatest feelings in the world is to be able to accomplish great things on your own. For example, you want to buy a house and you save and invest until it becomes a reality. How would you feel? Awesome, right? People will admire your ability to work for what you want and achieve them on your own. You develop a sense of purpose. Independence is a quality that a potential partner may seek. It will be an asset when you are ready to date again.

The next relationship will be solid

During your single period, you will get time to reflect and eventually know what you want in a partner. When you finally choose someone, it will not be out of desperation.

Sometimes we get into a relationship because we cannot stand being alone or we are lonely. A single person with self-control will value themselves and only enter a relationship because it compliments them in every way. These types of relationships are usually strong, healthy, and long-lasting.

Wrapping up

If you are single, enjoy it until the right person comes along. Don’t rush the process because you are afraid of being alone. Wait for the right person, and in the end, it will be worth it. Use the time you have to improve, invest and prepare yourself for a long-lasting partner.
