Cosmopolitan has this month given its readers some advice on the dangerous territory that is the office romances.
The publication explained that there are a number of things to think about before sneaking off to the supply cupboard with a colleague.
First on the list is company policy on office relationships. If such unions are banned, it might be time to weigh up whether you value your job or your love interest more.
The magazine also warns that office affairs can be particularly damaging for married people's health as the secrecy at work is already stressful enough without having to act covertly at home.
It is also important to actually get to know the object of your office desires before deciding whether it is love or lust that compels you to walk past his desk every five minutes, readers were told.
The balance of power at work could also play a part in the success of any romance. Bosses and subordinates often struggle to change dynamic going from the office to extra-curricular activities.
Meanwhile, Cosmopolitan readers can also add the publication as a friend on social networking sites such as Twitter, MySpace, Bebo and Facebook.
