Working in the same place can be no problem for people who are already married or in long-term relationships. My wife's company values having married couples working there. But that's completely different from approaching someone in your office. Big risk that it won't work out, and the office will become a place of torment.

Personal story: I met my first wife at the store where I worked as a manager. The rumor mill there was the ugliest and fastest that I've ever seen before or since, so there was a constant pressure being exerted as the entire place traded stories about us. You talk to long to someone else and you're "seeing them on the side". When we divorced, it was even worse, as everyone treated us like their favorite soap opera. I wanted to burn the entire building with everyone inside.
