That sounded suspiciously like one of those "hint" things

lol, a huge number of people in this world have gotten married by dipping their pen in their company's ink. It's the people who couldn't maintain their relationship that are pushing this advice.

Yeah but thats because some relationships should come to an end. I've dipped, dove, ducked, and dodged in the company ink and its never been worth it for me.

I did however end up in a wonderful relationship with a customer from the bakery I worked at, and we have a beautiful child.... and thats kinda like dipping it in the ink.... so i guess I cant really talk.

while this is true that it can definitely go right, when it goes wrong in that setup, it can go terribly wrong. Hence the quote

Yeah if you’re in the working world that seems like the best shot you’ve got lol. Either that or a bar or apps. I’d take some awkwardness at work over dating app hell

I've seen three couples formed at work that ended up in marriage.

And one pregnancy.

I would need a solid hour to jot down the other, unsuccessful ones (there were that many, but tbf many were while working at a restaurant).

It the people who couldn't act like respectable adults afterwards.

You can hook up, date, and even have a relationship - as long as you can treat each other respectfully after.
