You have a policy: a personal rule: 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, too. 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.
