There's an important distinction between relationships that originate in the workplace vs relationships that originate in the workplace among people who are connected in the supervision hierarchy.

This behavior is extremely common and –dare I say it– usually quite healthy. Banning it doesn't stop it. It just turns everyone into hypocrites.
