What should you pay attention to?

If you feel that you are very connected you want and give advantages they weigh weaknesses, it is important to get down to the relationship slow. Colleagues first get to know each other well and thus judge whether this is the person with whom you see yourself in the future. If one of you is on a higher position like others, it is also important to make sure that when you are alone, the relationship is despite equal: you don't want a partner who, in private life, treats you as if he were your own the boss.
We also advise that somewhat you wait, before the good news let me know other colleagues. It would be awkward, if they spread around the office rumors, and you would then find it better to stay a friend. Also, make sure you stay at work professional: save the flirting for the time you two spend after the work day, and focus on your own at work performance.
