WARNING!

A few situations are best left untapped for possible dates. Or, at least, proceed with caution.

The office.

It’s easy to fall for someone if you see them every day, but if it doesn’t work out . . . you still see them every day. It could also be against your employer’s rules or there could be eth-ical implications, depending on your line of work. If you’re going to do it, the best time to date someone in your office is if one of you will be leaving the job soon.

School.

Not recommended. Teacher-student relationships happen, but they’re pretty unprofessional and unethical. If you find yourself tempted, wait until the semester is over. You don’t want your hard work tainted by anything inappropriate.

Power imbalance.

If you’re someone’s boss or their partner in a business or creative venture, dating is going to be fraught with compli-cations. It’s hard to separate work from love, and it’s even harder if one of you has authority over the other.

If it wasn’t clear enough already, the main concept here is to get out of the house. Take risks, meet new people, and try new things. Take a different bus route. Go somewhere in your city you’ve never seen. You’ll feel refreshed and possibly meet someone worth asking out. Or you’ll have a story to tell when you do find a date. If you’re at home on Netflix, your only potential date is whoever is delivering your pizza (it’s an option).
