Years ago I read a reddit thread saying you shouldn’t pursue friendships or relationships at your workplace. Then I again see all over the places over the internet that friendships don’t happen a lot after you become working adult and that they’re struggling make new friends. My question is If you don’t purse friendships, how would those happen?

Want to know about the thoughts of people over here.

    It’s fine to date someone at work, as long as you don’t care if you stay employed there. All the possible negatives of a work relationship can be mitigated by leaving the job.

    If you absolutely need that job, then no, it’s a bad idea.

      It may be fine for you - but when you date someone at work, you run the possibility of making it awful for everyone around you.

        That’s just “welcome to humans.” People can be awful for all sorts of reasons.
