Some companies frown upon workplace romances, sometimes to the point of making it a written rule office romances are forbidden. So you have to ask yourself is this person worth losing your job over? Especially in today's economic climate?

And then there's a greater problem: what do you do if the romance heats up, fizzles, and you still have to face the person each weekday?

Studies reveal that up to 33 percent of American's met their beloved in the workplace environment.

Karl and Christine are two IT workers from the Mid-West who found love in the office. They are now married with two sons. "We were lucky," says Karl. "At first we didnt know whether to go public about our relationship, but we decided that our co-workers were cool people, and that it was a progressive company with no anti-romance rules. So we took the chance and came right out and told our colleagues that we were dating."

Adds Christine: "We found out that not only was everyone happy for us, they all knew we were attracted to each other before we even realized it ourselves!" Asked if they would have gone ahead with the relationship if their company had been stricter about love in the workplace, Karl replies: "Christine is the woman of my dreams. I would have risked my job for her. Even if it didnt work out, at least I knew I gave it my best shot."
