I'm old enough that I dated about 6 coworkers and married one for about 20 years so far. Work is intimate and that leads to relationships. If you can date there, you're obviously going to get more action. I get the feeling I met my future wife right about on the border where earlier, like in the 80s, when management found out I was dating a hot coworker I sort of got frat boy high fives and maybe a comment about how lucky I was and I wish I was still your age and at most maybe a "be sure to behave yourself at work, but have fun" comments, but after my wife and I got married, it appears trying to date in the workforce as portrayed in the media would result in summary execution by firing squad at dawn by HR at absolute best possible case. At least per written policy. Then again I read stories about workplace harassment of women in Silicon Valley and the public stories of sexual harassment in tech show its way over the top than anything I saw or heard of from decades ago. This might be one of those corporate "what they say has nothing to do with what they do" things, kinda like diversity training. My advice WRT dating coworkers is if either of you tend toward high school drama, its going to end absolutely horrifically, but if you're both adults then working with an ex is not really all that bad. Oh and if "never trash talk an ex" is good life advice, "never trash talk an ex who's also a coworker" is good advice times a million.
