1. Don’t choose to do overtime on the same day or if you cannot avoid it ensure that it does not happen often as it send a strong signal to your other co-workers that something is going on between you two.

2. Only communicate using office phones for official use and not for personal as you don’t know a cross connect could leak through which you don’t want to be public.

3. This is especially for guys, don’t feel jealous when your female dating partner spends some time with other guys. In public and professional life it is normal. Don’t show signs that make people think that you are both seeing each other.

4. If you are a manager and dating your colleague then don’t give him/her the care or importance that he/she does not deserve. This way you send strong signals that you unfairly favor him/her which opens up questions.

If both of you are into each other and decide to get married then don’t keep it a secret from your friends. Throw a party and announce in public as this sends the strong message that both of you are in love and there is nothing official about this relationship.
