What are your thoughts on dating a colleague? We're on same project but work on completely work streams. Chances of us working together are very slim. I'm a Sr Manager and she's a Consultant.

Date in secret and see if the relationship has potential first. If you are both committed, then only disclose the relationship to partners on the team so they can ensure ethics. No one else has to know. I was on a long term project and two colleagues got engaged before telling the rest of us.

Took 2 months but today my refund was initiated by Goibibo.
