" Respect the rules: Canoodling with a coworker might cause real trouble, so make sure you know your company&amp;#039;s policy (ask HR or check the employee handbook) before things progress beyond furtive glances across a conference table. Know who&amp;#039;s off-limits: &amp;quot;Avoid dating anyone you report to, and anyone who reports to you,&amp;quot; says Marilyn Puder-York, author of The Office Survival Guide: Surefire Techniques for Dealing with Challenging People and Situations. &amp;quot;Dating your boss or subordinate can put both your job security and the company itself at risk,&amp;quot; she says.To tell or not to tell? &amp;quot;You&amp;#039;re not obligated to inform your boss of what&amp;#039;s going on \u2014 unless there&amp;#039;s a conflict of interest involved,&amp;quot; says Puder-York. If there is, fess up and ask to be transferred to a different department or project. Keep it professional:  Do your flirting, and your fighting, outside the office. Refrain from sexy voice mails or e-mails on company phones or computers. And resist the urge to share dating details with coworkers: Remember, he may be your new boyfriend, but to everyone else, he&amp;#039;s still Jim from accounting.
