I don't think so that the work culture will be spoiled or productivity hampers if you have a dating with your colleague. However, anything should be well within the limits and should not over-board.
At the initial stages everything will loo fine with dating a colleague but if the relationship is sour. this will have adverse effect on either the efficiency of the employee may be lost or they may choose to leave the organisation. only the organisation will loose either a good employee or loss in the productivity.
I had a affair with my boss earlier though one position senior to me. She used me which i got to know later where i also used her for my professional reason.. ultimately the work which i did was to getting me recoginisation then what i have got because of this affair. she offcourse is in the similar position and I being grown up.. now she plays similar tricks with other colleagues of her and thats something which i cant digest. I had miserable time because of this lady going out with other guys, it took time to get into normal life and yes offcourse one should know how to handle is professional life having such affairs at times it effects your productivity and ideas. We had been on this affair for 2 years and now she is my good friend with no relationship and i am glad that i got rid of this lady.

Dear Rahul

Dating a collegue is not bad, but cannot be good either. One has to define a little broaderly the term good for himself & should try to achieve it.
You only can fall in Love with a collegue when your world is limited to your office boundary. You might not have experienced the other world yet. So just give yourself another chance before making a decision.
Life is a change & so does it requires change to fulfill it. A collegue with same qualities, same expereince, same dreams can\\\'t bring any change to the already changeless-office life.
It may not hamper productivity. It isn\\\'t aganaist any ethics or morality. But it is not the last resort either. Life is a rainbow only when all the colours mix.
.........dating a colleague is not a big issue until unless it harms ur productivity or hampers the office atmosphere.... bcoz this is entirely a choice of an individual to date whom ..... but ofcourse the professionalism should b kept in mind.
Sumtimes its seen that people get so much involved that they forget about their jobs, also comes the point of partiality which is a total no no...
