I can be equally decisive in saying it is absolutely not weird. Until very recently it was pretty much one of the most normal things in the world. Various other commenters have posted sources that the workplace is (and has been for a long time) one of the most common places for couples to meet. Humans are social creatures, we always have and likely always will socialize at work, even if it's not in our job description.
- Maursault 5y agoLet's say everyone in the world thinks it's ok to steal. Let's say stealing became so prevalent, it was normal and common. Would this make stealing ethical? Weird is a poor descriptor. In the case of entitlement to take time on your employer's clock to engage in activity for which you were not hired to perform is simply and unabashedly unethical. It is stealing, no matter how many do it, it is still stealing. But there is another angle that also makes it unethical, and that is that your romantic focus at work is necessarily a captive of their workplace. It would be different under different circumstances, such as meeting someone at a social gathering and turning on the charm for romantic interest, because they're not going to lose their job nor create a toxic work environment should they rebuff your advances. When you target a romantic interest in the workplace, you are taking advantage of the others' inability to choose not to be romanced. Is it imperative to you that you be permitted indulge your entitlement to behave this way at work? Can't you do it instead somewhere, anywhere else?
