Dating a Co-worker?
Master Matchmaker Advises Singles of Office Dating Etiquette

DATELINE: NORWELL, MASS… Office romances are not a new phenomenon. Nowadays, many companies have developed policies on workplace dating due to the proliferation of sexual harassment and sexual discrimination suits.

Yet, longer working hours mean significantly more time is spent with co-workers and office romances are often inevitable. Paul A. Falzone, CEO of The Right One and Together Dating, reminds singles that it’s important to practice “office dating etiquette” and shares tips below:

Don’t dish about your date. So you and a co-worker are dating. Even though you are wild about each other, you still do not want to risk your credibility with colleagues, superiors, subordinates or clients. Nor do you want to leave yourself open to manipulation, as the more that others, including subordinates, hear about your private affairs, the more ammunition they may have to discredit you. Keep your private life private.

Avoid dating subordinates. Dating a subordinate is taboo on so many levels, but with sexual harassment and discrimination laws becoming broader, the fine line of what constitutes dating has become legally blurred. How do you really know that a subordinate wants to date you and doesn’t just feel pressured to go along with your advances because you hold power? What happens when you break up? You still have to work together. Your subordinate may even seek retribution after a break-up by claiming sexual harassment.

Don’t date the boss. Dating a superior can drastically reduce your career advancement options in-house because superiors from other departments may not take you seriously any longer. And, to make matters worse, if you break up, you’ll still have to take orders from him/her.

Stay away from married co-workers. So, you are strongly attracted to a married co-worker who claims that he has spent so much time trying to get ahead at the office, that his relationship with his spouse has disintegrated. While you may sympathize, it doesn’t change the fact that he is still legally married. Having an affair with a married co-worker can hurt your career. It will be used against you at some point by co-workers seeking to gain an advantage over you, be it a promotion, award, raise, or new client.

Public displays of affection are taboo at work. Hand holding, hugging, kissing, calling each other pet names and so forth should be reserved for outside the office. And, by the way, forget about sending sexy emails to each other. Management and those in the IT department can and often do, read your emails.

Be aware of workplace “serial daters”. Think twice about dating a co-worker with a track record for dating his/her way through each department. This person is obviously not looking for a long-term relationship, but merely out there just to have a good time. If that’s all you’re looking for, go ahead. But, be aware that these workplace daters have a tendency to share a lot of information about those they date, accurate or not. Even if it doesn’t hurt your career, you risk public humiliation.

According to Falzone, “Singles involved in workplace romances need to use common sense. It is NOT okay to date a superior or a subordinate. If your company doesn’t have a policy on dating and you are dating a co-worker who is not your boss and who doesn’t work for you – good for you – just be sure to practice office dating etiquette.”

No recession on love…The Right One/Together Dating announces growth during so-called recession.

DATELINE: NORWELL, MA…

How do you grow a company during a recession? Sell a commodity for which there’s always a demand. In the case of The Right One and Together Dating—one of the largest brick-and-mortar dating services with more than 60 locations in North America—that’s the possibility of love and romance.

At the end of last year, from October through December—the very height of the recession–The Right One and Together Dating experienced an 18 percent increase in new memberships from the same time period the year before. On top of that, during the last six months, The Right One and Together Dating have opened new locations in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Chicago and Schaumburg, Illinois and Austin and San Antonio, Texas.

“If I had a dollar for every news report or broadcast that started with ‘in these tough economic times’ I could retire tomorrow,” said Paul A. Falzone, CEO of The Right One and Together Dating. “That’s not to say there aren’t people and businesses out there struggling. We’ve had our share of challenges as well. But times like these call for a new plan of attack, not white flags. We’ve been able to grow because we kept looking for ways to run our business better.”

The Right One and Together Dating have plans for additional growth over the rest of 2009. That includes the opening four more locations and the recent hiring of Northeast Regional Director Jill Vandor.

“That’s another thing I’m quite proud of. We have been hiring continuously throughout this period when the recession began and there doesn’t seem to be a slowdown in sight. There are very few companies that can say that,” said Falzone.

As one of the world’s largest brick-and-mortar dating services, The Right One and Together Dating offers singles a viable option to online dating services, which could see you at your computer for weeks on end sifting through profiles—many of which might not be 100 percent truthful. The Right One and Together Dating screens clients thoroughly, including background check, to effectively and safely match singles who are more likely to be compatible.

“Our business really isn’t about the economic times as timing. Is this the right time in your life to find that special someone? Are you ready for that special relationship? If tough economic times mean people can take a step back and look at their lives to see what’s really important, then there is a silver lining to all this negative talk about the economy.”

There has been no documented case of anybody EVER dying from meeting their significant other’s parents for the first time. Although there probably have been more than a few who wanted to prior or during that first meeting.

Yet according to Paul A. Falzone, CEO of The Right One and Together Dating–one of the world’s largest brick-and-mortar dating services with more than 60 offices nationwide—meeting the parents for the first time is really something couples should embrace.

“When a relationship progresses to the point where one of you wants to meet the other’s parents, that’s a pretty strong statement of how well things are going—and that is a good thing,” said Falzone. “And while nobody’s parents are going to hook you up to a polygraph like Robert DeNiro did to Ben Stiller in “Meet the Parents”, there are some basic steps you can take to ensure a smooth first meeting.”

Falzone suggests:

• Meeting at a neutral location – While it might be natural to go to your s.o.’s parents for dinner, it does put at least one person in unfamiliar territory. By meeting at a restaurant or, even better, coffee shop for dessert, everybody’s on a level playing field. Just as important, outings at those venues can be abbreviated to an hour or so, much shorter than a house visit. IMPORTANT NOTE: be sure to split the check 50-50.
• Attire – Keep it casual but don’t go overboard. Ripped jeans, t-shirts, short shorts or skirts probably won’t go over so well, at least the first time out. Dress similar to what you would wear to work if your company has a business casual dress code.
• Be yourself…but not too much – While you want to act naturally and be yourself you also want to make a good impression. In many ways, you should treat meeting your s.o.’s parents like a job interview. While you want to engage in friendly banter, you don’t want to get into subject matter too heavy for the first meeting (e.g. stay away from the Big Three of sex, politics and religion). In particular don’t use any profanities or other language you’re not sure would be acceptable.
• Do your homework – Sticking with the job interview theme, do a little research on your s.o.’s parents. Make sure you know the basics–name, age, profession, etc.–just enough so you’re not going in completely cold. If you don’t know this information as a natural part of your relationship, then just ask your s.o. well in advance of the meeting.

“While these tips can help you out before and during the meeting, the best piece of advice is wait until you’re both ready to take the step to meet the other’s parents. Wanting to meet each other’s parents is also a statement about where things are in the relationship. If you’re not ready, you need to say so or perhaps even evaluate where you see things going. But if you’re on the same page and ready to meet his/her parents, that is a good thing because it means your relationship is working,” said Falzone.
