Summary: 


I was once a supervisor in the situation that one of my supervisees (?) was
dating someone in the next team... they eventually got engaged and then
married.  I took the person who worked for me out for a walk and basically
layed out what I expected from her and the consequences if there were problems.
I also offered to have her or her fiancee transfered to another office if
they wished.  (oh yeah, they also lived in the same house).  My feeling was
that living togther and working together day in and day out might wear on
their nerves.  Or on ours if they brought problems in from home.  I was
pleasantly suprised.  No problems at all.  If faced with this situation again,
I would do the same thing and hope for the same result.

Now on the other side of the coin, I tend to shy away from dating at the
(same) office.  If the relationship gets too deep, and breaks up badly,
it probably would affect work. Not to mention me... Mike
