For one thing, how is the relationship going to end?  If it "ends" in
marriage, that's one thing.  But, if you end up breaking up, how is that
going to affect your working relationship?  These are things to consider.
It can get pretty messy (speaking from experience).

Besides this, no matter how discreet you are, it always becomes part of
the office gossip and that just does wonders for a woman's reputation.

You're right, it depends.
