You have a policy: a personal rule, really: about dating coworkers. You tend to avoid it. Period. There are times, however, in the life of every rule, when exceptions need to be made: and one of those exceptions recently walked by, while you were trying to concentrate on your job. Well, first of all, everyone knows that rules were 'made to be broken. ' and wouldn't it be nice to have an easy conversation icebreaker on tap, once you actually sit down to lunch? Or dinner? Or drinks at your place? Sure it would.
