Snowflakes want to BAN office romances as finding love in the workplace is ‘inappropriate’

Overall, 56 per cent of all ages say office romances should be banned, a survey revealed.

And 37 per cent do not want people in their office dating as they reckon it would be “insensitive” to singletons and make colleagues feel “very uncomfortable”.

Besides, woke blokes are now too scared to flirt with co-workers in the wake of the #MeToo movement.

Sixty per cent fear they would be seen as predatory if they showed their feelings, the survey by online printing firm Instantprint found.

But the office is the second most likely to place to find love after picking someone up at a bar (18 per cent) and more common than meeting a partner online (14 per cent).

Asking a colleague out for a drink is the top way of initiating an office romance, followed by waiting for a work night out and timing lunch breaks together.

But for Valentine’s Day, 63 per cent of men would use anonymous cards to try to get a date with a co-worker — while ten per cent would ask them to “meet me at the printer”.
