You’ve just started a steamy affair with a colleague (or maybe even your boss!) and it’s wonderful. As long as this office romance remains a secret it would stay wonderful. Now, how do you do that?
Don’t start to do something new suddenly
Routine Office Work
Maintain your usual routine. If you suddenly start to pay more attention to each other or start to ignore each other it will be obvious that something is cooking. Office people love to cook and you know it.
Avoid unnecessary eye contact
Avoid Eye Contact
Although it might be tempting to share secret glances whenever you think no one is watching, don’t. The walls have eyes as do the gossip mills.
Manufacture a steady relationship
Act Like You are Already Dating
If people assume that you’re involved with (an imaginary) someone, it is less likely that they would find it plausible that you’re having an office romance.
Don’t be too dressed up
Dress Up Normally
If you start putting in an exceptional amount of effort to dress up when you come to work, it’ll be obvious that you have someone to impress.
Keep your hands and feet, off each other
No Footsies Girls! None!
What harm can a little footsie under the table do? Well, everyone can find out about your hot new relationship, that’s what.
Don’t go to or leave office parties together
Avoid Those Office Parties Together
After a few times of being each other’s dates at parties, people are going to start asking questions.
An office romance can be a fun experience if you can keep your boundaries well defined. Since it is generally not accepted by the management, keeping it secret is the way to go.
