If you don't behave properly, an office romance can cause conflict and have a negative impact on your career.

One man sent his girlfriend a huge bouquet of balloons to her office. Co-workers wanted to know who sent it and spent time trying to figure it out. She was embarrassed.

I had one pharmaceutical saleswoman client -- young and attractive -- who would kiss and hug her clients. Then she saw one doctor at dinner and gave him a kiss and hug. His wife didn't appreciate that, and it was not appropriate.

I felt I was in a sparkling, tinsel-lined, successful box-office career-rut.

Office romance just doesn't carry the same stigma it did a generation ago.

Frankly, unless he has the courage to stand up and live up to his oath of office to enforce the laws, I think it's wonderful. We're better off without him as chief of police. If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.
