Dating inside station...
|
Posted 3 months ago Have you ever dated others with in your station? And did it work out? if if didnt did it make things werid to work together? |
|
| Posted 3 months ago ummm.... I have and it worked out okay for a while.... I probably wouldn' t do it again. After we broke up we still had to work together and it was a little awkward. |

| Posted 3 months ago I'm thinkin' given the issues of human emotions...this would be a BAD thing... when you're working that close in hi-risk stuff and your significant other may be in danger you can lose your focus on the mission... nevermind internal politics of the station, etc... I'm sure the potential "trap" of it is easy....but I would highly suggest NOT....but then again, I have ZERO FF experiences except as a "first responder" to an incident...collateral to my security/LEO duties... Psychotics build castles in the air, Neurotics live in those castles, and Psychiatrists collect the rent. |

| Posted 3 months ago i was "talkin" to a girl when i worked non-emergency transport and it didnt work out, and now its sucks even having to go up there, because she wont even say anything to me. |

| Posted 3 months ago I have a agree that it does pose a risk. But when you work with the person long enough and you are able to seperate your relationship from your job. Guess do to me and my hubby working together as friends before we started dating it made it easier to seperate from the relationship and it has been tested since. But u have to do your job first relationship second. He has gone down on scenes and I still have done my job and april it really tested the ability to seperate from him being my hubby and him doing his job when i had my wreck and he had to help load me in careflight. But it isnt something i would suggest doing esp is either hold rank. Because they can ground u due to them knowing illness and so forth. It does have a draw back but at the same time u know each others limits. |

| Posted 2 months ago Based on the fact that the other person you are interested in works with you, your decision making process depending on your position or rank will affect the way you interpret the rules. Another obstacle to look at would, does the policy state about fratenization. We look at how well can we be discreet and can we separate husband and wife, girlfriend and boyfriend or significant others. |

| Posted about 1 month ago personally, I think it's a bad idea. if it don't work out that could be uncomfortable others may sense the tention. or What if your called out on something real bad, you could loose your focus and get hurt. or ya have to worry about "sibling rivery" .The city that my husband works at don't let imed. family members work at the same station on the same shift. |

| Posted about 1 month ago I wasn't dating the person more a less a friend with benenfits, if you know what i mean. It worked out for a while till everyone started asking questions. Then it got weird and we broke it off. All in all i would have to say its a bad idea. You know the network.... telephone a friend, tell a fireman... its gets around quick. |

| Posted about 1 month ago I would have a hard time seperating work from pleasure . I am also very protective of the person I'm with. If someone barked orders at my girl and I didn't like the tone , I would get hot to say the least. I could not be professional enough to function safely. Bad idea for me at least. On the plus side , my wife knows I could not cheat at the station , for that very reason , on top of many more. Help someone is some way everyday. Standing at the ready, Tail wagging; ready to run !! |

| Posted about 1 month ago I personally think dating anyone at work is a bad idea. But, like others have said, it's especially dangerous in a firehouse where the risk is high and the potential to put yourself or something else in danger is much worse. |
