Yep. It's cool actually.only problem is y'all always around each other at work at home if u in a relationship.if dating means f**king which is does in my book then as long as u keep your feelings in check and accept the type of relationship it is, all should be well.

Depends on what ya do for a living. If you work at Mickey D's, well it doesn't get much lower, you might as well do something to make you happy in your life. 
If you have a career or job you actually give a shit about....then, no, Einstein, it's not a good idea...go figure.

They say its a bad idea...and I think because it could effect the workplace environment...especially if they break up and still have to work together...or, if you give them special favors, if you are up the ladder, being unfair to others.
Effecting their jobs in the long run.
Personally if they can be adult about it....I don't see the harm.
hell you meet someone in all sorts of places, to me, this is just one of those.

For your particular species, it's probably okay.
But for humans it's wise to check the company policy about such things before taking the plunge. Some companies are strict, and will fire or reassign people who get involved like that, to different locations to avoid the appearance of conflicts of interest.
As with everything in life, find out what you are risking, if you can, before you act.

I need a little space in a relationship.
I can adore a woman, but I still need space and hope she has a life and requires her own time and space. I like to play golf with my guy friends. It isn't a bring your girlfriend thing. And I don't want to go shoe shopping with her or to some baby shower!
I understand you there.

Just becareful of dating a co worker or your boss. Some of them are out to get money. They might accuse u of sexual harassment. Or the boss might fired you if he/she doesn't want to see your face anymore when he/she breaks up with u. It's not worth the risks.

We both are CNAs at a local retirement facility. He is inviting me out to eat, saying he wants a relationship then saying he wants FWB. He gives scenarios about how he would treat me in either situation.

There's only less than a 3% chance that it'll work. Part of it does depend on where you work. Flipping burgers? Well thats usually for young ppl who's just learning the ropes about relationships anyway.
But someone older, more established and have a job that is extremely important shouldn't do it. Too many reasons to fail.

Top 5 reasons why you shouldn't.....
1. All relationships need time apart. When you go to work and live apart you can get that time to miss them and have your alone time. Dating your coworker can make shit old very quick.
2. Too much potential for jealousy. Either one in the relationship making the other jealous by talking, smiling and being flirtatious with other coworkers. Or other coworkers doing spiteful shit to piss off one bcuz they are jealous of them.
3. Too many who might have dirt on you have too much access to your partner and too many reasons to do it. Most of those reasons being work related.
4. Having problems at home will ALWAYS spill over at work which can effect your job. And..
5. If it don't work recovering from the breakup is impossible unless one of you quit or get fired. Its not good to keep looking someone in the face after you breakup especially if you feel cheated.

Considering you spend a great deal of your life working, it's another place at which to meet someone. If you are adults and mature, why is it any different than dating someone you've met anywhere else?
If you cannot conduct yourselves with grace and poise at work how can you anywhere else? Not all relationships end with slashed tires, police interventions and lawsuits. Most of my long term relationships were with men I met at work. Jobs are a place at which you tend to meet many people. Those relationships that did not work out in the long run, but with men with whom I still worked were no more fraught with problems than any other ended relationship. Which is to say, no problems. We were all adults who knew how to conduct ourselves.
It should be noted that I didn't have to work right next to the guys. They were in different areas, and in different buildings. That may make it a little easier to see them afterwards because they're not there everyday all day.
OP, if you like the person, try it. Work out some ground rules in the event it doesn't work out.

Bcuz everyone ASSUMES they're adult enough until that shit goes wrong.
Even if its not you. You can't vouch for how adult someone else is in a relstionship until you experience it.
Question is are willing to go through all that, be unhappy looking at someone you don't want anymore everyday and risking your job to find out?

I've known many who dated and/or married a coworker. No problems. I've also known many who worked with someone they divorced. Again, no problems.
I've also known those whose date/mate who didn't work there with them who came into the workplace and wrecked havoc.
It's about the person, not the place. Like I said, not every relationship is with someone who is off their rocker. If you're going to cut off over half of your possibilities because it might go wrong or be awkward, you might as well cut off all of them, no matter where they work, for the same reason.

It's not a good idea to date your boss. He has the power to fired u. It's not worth it. It's your words against his. And he is the one with all power & all the money. Unless u think that your skill are so valuable that u will be able to find another job right away if u got fired.
Co-workers are not good either. If u break up with them, u still have to see them everyday. It's so awkward. My co-workers are ugly.
And the women are fat & ugly. So the men in my office wouldn't date them or go after them.

When I first started selling Real Estate I was in a traditional office. The guys in the office asked me out. An older woman pulled me aside and gave me advice. The way she said it was gross but so true.
She told me;
Never ever shit in your own back yard because eventually you will be forced to walk in it. I listened to her and did not date anyone I worked with.

Is it a good idea?
Depends. More specifically, it depends on their work dynamic, work environment, and overall maturity situation.
On one hand, you can make the argument that dating a coworker can be effective that you can truly get to know that individual in and out through conversation and find out his true character. In other words, you don't have to lay the waiting game in deciding whether he is the one or not because you're around him to find out for yourself.
On the other hand, conversely, if you have to ask the question whether it is a good idea given your surrounding and the way you question yourself handling the situation, then possibly it isn't. I often hear the saying that you should mix business with pleasure especially if you know you cant handle the ramifications of such.
It comes down to which perspective you are looking at this....gamer
