The greatest pool of potential mates isn't online, or in a
bar, or at the gym. It's on the job. With more than 40
percent of American employees logging over 50 hours each
week, where else are people going to find time to look for a
date? Work-based romances develop gradually over months and
years, allowing people to get to know one another instead of
rushing to judgments based on first impressions.
Office Mate teaches readers how to make the most
of the office dating pool, offering specific dos and don'ts
on what to look for in a potential paramour, how to handle
the romance day to day, and how to protect a career if the
relationship goes sour. Stephanie Losee and Helaine Olen's
practical guide is useful even for those with no eligible
candidates in their current nine-to-five gig, with tips for
readers on how to expand their professional networks to
jumpstart both their love lives and careers. With fun
"Instant Messages," fast facts, first-person Water Cooler
Confessions, and Famous Dates in Office Mate History, this
hip handbook gives singles everywhere the green light to
take that office flirtation to the next level.
