I would say that dating someone you work with, works maybe .001% of the time (Meaning it ends in a great marriage). That's all relationships though. However, if you think this is truely someone you can truely, without a shadow of doubt, settle down with, then I say go for it. However, I've never dated someone I actually worked with, besides maybe a few single dates, now and then. I have seen a LOT of other people do it though. I'll tell you, it almost always turns out ugly. It's also almost impossible to keep it secret, because it's a small world and if the wrong person sees you dating around with your coworkers and leaks it into your work place, then it spreads like a virus and the rumors and opinions and bad blood starts to fly everywhere and it becomes very unhealthy for the relationship.
To top it off, it does, in the end, become a big distraction to both you and your partner, when you're at work, and that distraction spreads outside of work and can also tear up the relationship.
So overall, I don't recommend it, unless if either A) it's just a random hookup or whatnot. No hurt feelings, no bad blood or B) You really really feel that this is something that can last for a very very longtime.
Good luck.
