I have been in numerous socials with co-workers since my first job in various companies. Some groups fade after a year or two, others stay with you for a lifetime. Personal time is separate from work time. The key is staff don't let the personal affect work matters and work behavior. Also, depends on HR policies of the workplace. In one job, no one is allowed to date & obviously marry each other. Well the folks that married left, have been happily married & moved on with their lives. Another job has the sexual harrassment clause/policy apply to outside of the office. Hence, there is still professionalism maintained when co-workers get together.

    Is there a question here you need answered? Are you seeking advice? Or were you simply making an observation and telling us about it, and require no other information or explanation?
