If you are free to engage in an inter-office romance, keep it on the down low until you know for certain how things are going to play out. In other words, if it's nothing more than a fling, there's no sense in becoming water cooler fodder. Once you realize that your workplace romance is gaining traction, it's probably a good idea to come clean with your superior. Reassure him or her that your personal relationship won't have any impact on your professional relationship. During work hours, keep the personal apart from the professional. Don't use email, IM or any other inter-office communication to discuss your personal business. Avoid discussing your new romance with your co-workers. In the event that things don't work out, commit to keep things cordial. The last thing you want is your personal relationship costing you your job.
