General Defintion
A workplace romance is a consensual relationship between two members of the same organization that entails mutual sexual attraction. But the definition evolves as many forms of romantic relationships in organizations (e.g. homosexual, heterosexual) become the focus of broad study of workplace romance. A close relationship at work can be considered a workplace romance when two employees have acknowledged their mutual attraction to one another and have physically acted upon their romantic feelings in the form of a dating or otherwise intimate association. That is, romantic relationships, including those that occur in the workplace, typically involve (a) an intense passionate desire to be in the presence of one's romantic partner, (b) a shared, intimate exchange of personal disclosures, (c) affection and respect, (d) pleasant emotional states such as need satisfaction, happiness, and sexual gratification, and (e) physiological arousal and the desire for sexual acts such as kissing, petting, and intercouse with one's partner.
