If I had followed the conventional wisdom I would never have met my wife. I was an assistant manager in the front end department at a local grocery store where I had worked for over four years when she started working there. She worked in the back stocking, but it don't think it would have mattered much if she had been in my department. One night after a date with a "sure thing" hookup fell through due to a tornado I invited my future wife out with a friend of mine and one of hers.
Of course all of my dates from age sixteen till meeting my wife had been coworkers from that job. At one point there were twenty four employees in my department, nineteen of them were female and EVERY SINGLE ONE was a cheerleader or colorguard member, my manager was such a dirty old man *grin*.
