Advantage 1: You have enough time to get to know him.
In the workplace, is he the type to fawn over female colleagues? How does he cope with work pressure? What is his interpersonal style like? The biggest advantage of an office romance is that it gives you ample time to observe and assess him.
Advantage 2: Frequent meetings are possible

Office lovers, having already discussed so much work during the workday, can often enjoy a purer life after get off work, focusing solely on their feelings and not work.
Disadvantage 1: Too intimate
You read that right. Intimacy is indeed a double-edged sword. It can make office romances sweeter, but it can also make things worse. Once you have a big fight or even break up, you might wish you never had to see each other all the time again!
Disadvantage 2: When competition exists...
When you belong to two competing teams, your romantic relationship is often an obstacle, and can even lead to serious tensions.
Disadvantage 3: Lack of surprises
If you spend too much time together at work, the passion will fade quickly over time because you'll already know everything about each other.
