Where can You Meet the Best of Singles

A new research has found that offices are fast becoming the favourite new hotspots for singles looking for romance.

Over a third of Aussie workers have admitted to getting intimate with a co-worker and experts believe the number is the same in New Zealand.

Study Shows that the Fate of Romance is Dependent on Smoking, Kids, Age, and Cash
The pointers to a potentially successful marriage or parnership may depend upon smoking, kids, age and cash Australian researchers said.

"People are working long hours together.... They confide and go through adversity with each other and often socialise together," the NZ Herald quoted Auckland psychologist Nathan Gaunt, as saying.

He pointed out: "People are spending less and less time outside of work. Opportunities to meet people [outside work] are diminished."

A study of nearly 1000 workers by Careerone.com.au found that 35percent of those who had an office romance called it short-term and 21percent described it as long-term.

Relationship Services clinical leader Louise Chapman said: "I've had people wanting to get out of relationships because they are seeing their boss and he is married. But there is the worry about what is going to happen to their job.

Romance In the Facebook Age Bound To Engender Envy
College students who spend most of their time on Facebook are more likely to feel jealous toward their romantic partners, which later traps them into a vicious cycle of envy, according to a study.

"And, on the other side, I have had bosses come in nervous because 'she' has a hold on him and is afraid she is going to tell his wife."

Chapman added: "The same sort of stuff happens to people that aren't in the same workplace but it's more magnified when it's at work."

"If it's the accidental drunken thing it's seen negatively anyway. Plus in some situations you are opening yourself up to allegations of sexual harassment," Dr Rachel Morrison, who lectures in workplace relationships at AUT, said.
