Do you have a source for the claim that the majority of post college relationships are between colleagues?

- imartin2k 9y agoIt seems to be a substantial number at least. http://www.siop.org/Media/News/office_romance.aspx http://www.siop.org/Media/News/office_romance.aspx

- imartin2k 9y agoThanks, I was doing a quick search but you found a better looking one, I agree. Nevertheless, even this shows that the work place is a significant factor to meet a partner - even if it has lost relevancy. Which leads to the question why. Is it because the other places somehow got more effective for that purpose, or is it fear of being perceived as crossing boundaries which makes people hesitant to try. Both (or other) explanations seem imaginable to me.
