1. The devastating awkwardness of figuring out if you should kiss each other good-bye. As your relationship begins to blossom like two flowers in the same garden that are dating each other, you have to start making choices that will affect you the rest of your lives (or until you break up and/or one of you quits). Do you kiss each other good-bye every day and risk the glares, murmurs, and gossip of your coworkers? Or do you just suck it up and bolt out of there, sending a “thinking of you” text on the way out? This is about to set the foundation for the rest of the relationship.
2. Debating whether or not to send that inappropriate email. You’ve hovered over the “send” button, wondering if you should send a sexy email to your work beau so you can reap the benefits later. Then you thought better of it when you realized his boss could be looking over his shoulder at this very moment.
3. Negotiating a quickie during lunch. You crunched the numbers over sushi and realized that you could spend 15 minutes in a car together in a nearby empty lot before anyone noticed both of you were out on a long lunch. Steamy, passionate, forbidden, afternoon delight was expected. Awkward, fumbling sex and cramping ensued.
