Hey, thanks for reading in advance!

So I started seeing a guy from work, been on a few dates and its been nice, relationships at work are really frowned upon so we decided not to tell anyone.

So here's my problem, well not a problem more how can I stop the urge, we've shared quick pecks in passing but last night he dragged me in a room and we was passionately kissing and we knew we wanted to go further but we couldn't, how can we stop, we can't not see each other as we work along side each other for 12 hours and work with 2 other people at all times, it's so hard any ideas how we can keep it professional; it's a lot easier said than done!

Sageoldguy1465 agony auntDo I understand that you and he are at work together for about 12 hours each business day?

If "yes," then the answer is obvious... to wit: Do all the fooling around that you want, on your own time.... and behave in a professional manner all the time you are at work and on the boss's clock.... Can't make it any simpler than that....

Good luck....

Keep your professional lives and personal lives separate. You know the rules, and you best keep to them! You're not a couple of teenagers with raging hormones. Be stupid, and risk losing your jobs in the worst economical environment ever!

The heat is the risk of being caught. Is it worth losing a paycheck for a moment of passion, that can easily be handled away from your job? Maybe "imagining" the embarrassment is a turn-on; but in reality, you'll both regret it!

Stop the pecks and kisses at work, there is always someone watching. Employers do not want the liability of "sexual harassment law-suits." That's why they frown on such behavior!

What if it's only about the sex? Would it be worth losing your job over it? Most work environments install hidden cameras to spy on their workers. Especially, if they go so far as to "frown" on relationships at work. Go on YouTube and check out the hidden-camera videos. Oh, don't forget smartphones. You'll be posted in a matter of seconds!

Does that answer your question?

OP there's nothing we can say to you that you don't already know. You either stay professional at work or you lose your job, if that's not enough motivation for you to stop acting like a horny teenager then nothing we can say will.

You either want the job or you don't. If you really like that job then you have to tell him, no more horseplay at work, it's that simple.

OP people who act the way you do think you're oh so sneaky, but it's the most obvious thing in the world when people are dating at work and the only reason something hasn't been said or done yet is because you haven't been caught yet but you will be if you keep doing this.
