I personally am one that would feel smothered if my SO was involved in EVERY aspect of my life. Yes, work can be a big chunk of your time, but I respect someone having their own interests, and would really have to think hard times 5 to consider dating within the workplace.

Part of the reason - I am a person who looks for advancement ... what could start out as equal coworkers - one of you get promoted and now you're supervisor while the other is not - is your relationship now worth your job?

I see it as a challenge to have other outlets for interaction outside the workplace, and it becomes one less thing that could be a potential relationship issue. Good relationships are hard enough, without bringing excess baggage to the table.
