Veteran magazine writers Stephanie Losee and Helaine Olen offer a persuasive case about the modern day office romance closely mirroring old–fashioned romances of the past in their new book OFFICE MATE: The Employee Handbook for Finding—and Managing—Romance on the Job. With 50 hour work weeks as the norm, your community is no longer where you live, but where you work. The office setting provides an opportunity for you to get to know the people you are surrounded by as individuals and colleagues before you even begin to consider them as romantic partners.

Losee and Olen not only provide a straightforward representation of this often untapped romantic landscape, but also offer sound advice on how you can strategically kindle a possible inter-office romance. OFFICE MATE is an accessible and practical guide that will make this once considered “taboo” seem like the most logical dating option in today’s busy world.
