Today, it finally became clear to me that before you start dating a co-worker, it's best to figure out who they've already dated from work, just in case one of her exes is your new manager. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out my ex-boyfriend, who I thought was finally out of my life for good, is now dating my new manager. FML
Today, I found out that the co-worker I have been dating and falling for is the same co-worker that had been spreading rumors about me and getting me in trouble with my boss. FML
Today, I found out my ex is applying for a job at my current company. She may become my boss. FML
Today, my coworker began flirting with the new guy at work and accepted a date with him. I’ve been trying to get with her for months and she'd told me, “Sorry, I don’t fraternize with colleagues.” I called her out on it and she told me, “OK, I’ll spell it out for you: I do fraternize with attractive colleagues.” FML
Today, the girl I work with, who I’ve developed feelings for, started dating another guy at work. She’d told me that she “doesn’t believe” in dating coworkers and she doesn’t “shit where she eats.” FML
Today, I found out that a girl who I really liked at work, who is my manager and with whom I'm friends, and who knows I like her, has been secretly dating someone else who works there for a month, and everyone at work knew except me, because she didn't want to tell me. FML
Today, my colleagues have been trying to play matchmaker between myself and the new girl at the office. I'll admit we share more similarities than differences from what I've learned so far, but I know something my colleagues don't: she's actively pursuing a guy through online dating. FML
Today, I found out my boss hired literally the only person in this town who is an ex-boyfriend. I also work with my current boyfriend. FML
Today, I found out that after working in the same office for five years, I now work with three of my husband's ex-girlfriends. FML
Today, I found out that the coworker I’d been crushing on told me he was gay so I wouldn’t hit on him anymore. Turns out he did that so he could focus on wooing a female coworker of mine. They’re now dating. FML

Or you just don't date co-workers at all.

Dating coworkers is against a lot of company's policies for a reason.

Dating a coworker is normally not a good idea

Don't get caught doing the grown up, in the break room

Well, on the plus side, if she leaves you (or visa versa) then you'll have something in common with your manager, heck it may lead to a beautiful friendship :D

Have you ever tried googling someone or at least checking their Facebook before you get seriously involved?

Everyone should be clicking "it's your own fault".

Anyone notice the "if" ?

Next time you go in for a performance evaluation, let him know that your girlfriend shared with you her "performance evaluation" of him. You'll get a nice raise and your job duties will be reduced to "keep your ******* mouth shut."

How long were they together? You might be making a big deal over nothing. Of course you want to believe your new gf is lusted after but truth is, they could've just had a few dates and didn't click. Either way, odds are against him being so hung up on her that he'd risk his job and a lawsuit by engaging in unethical behaviour. Act like a professional and expect him to do the same. Do NOT discuss her with him.
