If you are dating someone at work and things are going for the better, eventually you may decide that the time is right to come forward as a couple. If you believe that things are ripe to make your office relationship public, you should be careful of how you break out the news. The number one rule is to not make a big announcement or a deal out of it, just try to keep it simple and normal. When you open up and tell people that you are dating, you should try to keep your level of professionalism up as much as possible. Breaking the news to your colleagues does not necessarily entitle you to kissing eachother in the cafeteria or making out in the elevator. Remember that it is important to protect your reputation and demonstrate that you both are capable of keeping your personal and professional lives completely separate.
