[header] How to go about office romance [title] Read up on your company policy regarding office romance (if one exists). [step] Some companies have " anti-fraternization policies " that prohibit or discourage dating your coworkers. You can ask your hr person what is and is not acceptable if the policies seem unclear. 
Beyond the explicit policies, you should also think about the company culture and how accepting your employer appears to be of office romances. While policies prohibiting dating may not withstand a court challenge, you should still be prepared to face the consequences (including termination) if you follow your heart and disregard the policy.
