Can Workplace Romance Actually Work?

Matchmakers Explore: Can Workplace Romance Actually Work?

Office romances have been a subject of debate for decades. While some see them as taboo, others believe that shared experiences and common goals can build strong connections. Research suggests that people are naturally drawn to those who share similar personalities, beliefs, and backgrounds. Additionally, the mere exposure effect – the idea that familiarity breeds attraction – can also play a role in workplace relationships.

Given that offices are often filled with like-minded individuals who spend countless hours together, it's no wonder that many people are open to love at work. Back in 2020, a YouGov poll found that nearly one-fifth of Brits met their current or most recent partner through their workplace. However, there are significant risks involved in office romances. If things don't work out, it can create a tense and uncomfortable work environment. Additionally, there may be concerns about favouritism or preferential treatment, which can damage relationships with colleagues. It's important to consider these factors carefully before entering a workplace relationship.
