I don't know about this one, but I saw a related note on the news last
night that made a lot of sense.  A recent study has concluded that
relationships that begin with the two persons as co-workers last twice
as long as others.  The idea behind it is that at work you get a much more
accurate picture of what a person is like at work because they are not in the
artificial dating/bars/etc. environment in which a lot of people meet;
are not expecting romance; and are therefore much more likely to be closer
to their true self.

Makes sense to me,
