This week prompt is interesting, given it is all about us in one way or the other and how it affects the society as a whole, because when one is mentally down they can't function to help the society.
First the term friendship and relationship is like yin and yang always similar but when applied constraints like boundaries, experience, expectations and intimacy levels . At some point one begins to question the difference between friendship and relationship, because in the world we live in there is no more difference .
Also in terms of boundaries been broken many people now don't know what boundaries is all about and worse yhey can't keep that. All friendships and relationship always have boundaries,and expectations but not intimacy level because that is the gulf of both parties.
And what can spoil a sweet relationship or friendship is no trust, as it hold 99.9%of relationship and friendship.
I am a very hard person to trust when it gets to thing's of the heart and when I finally do ,even when you make a heart breaking action I tend to forgive because if I let you go you aren't coming back home.
There was these ladies a former colleague of my , before I move ahead please do not date your colleague for it will bring doom ,am saying from my own experience . Because it is very easy for the world will attach you for a truthful speech while, clapping for lies . Back to my story there was this lady we worked together in a hotel everyone liked her for she was friendly including myself, but that was it I didn't know she had other ideas about it .
She would call crying about what her boyfriend is going to her crying about it most times at midnight even when am sleeping, I would still give her advice because I saw her as a younger sister. One day she came up to me and said
Don't You Want Me , For I Love You. My response to her was I don't date my colleagues and I see you as a friend. A lady who is desperate for attention is worse than a suicide bomber because she can go all out . She mounted pressure begging for me to be her that would behave , I saw the end from the beginning because how can I trust you, you who can date two guys at the same time and you are staying at ones place .
I gave in to her advances ,we started dating it was going well till I met the real her. Now while we were friends there was no intimacy attached to it that's why I was not able to see her real character but while dating . My God she sleeps with the guest for money etc I was building trust on her but after wat she did , I began to treat her how some of the guest that pick her up treats her too. In a nutshell trust is much valuable in a relationship than in a friendship.

People always preach against dating colleagues but I have also seen doing so workout perfectly.
I don't see dating colleagues as a problem but the intentions is what matters.
