Office Romance Study

Here's a recent Ryerson study on workplace romance.

There's nothing in the study we haven't known. Want to run an office romance? Go ahead. Just don't let your work get affected. And of course, don't indulge in too overly affectionate display.

Though I'd like to note that as with school and college romances, it gets awkward for the individuals involved when they break up. Having to pass by them everyday, accidentally running to each other at the water cooler can all be very embarrassing. And it gets somewhat awkward for others around too, especially the people who are close to the involved parties.

But I guess we have got other importan world issues to worry about than workplace romance.

Welcome post!

This is not a dating advice blog. Far from that. Though I might often discuss dating quite. When you are discussing science of love, dating might come up once in every while, and you might end up taking a nugget or two of dating wisdom away from some of the science you will read. But I’m not your dating expert. And I am not even trying to give you scientific advice on dating.

I’m just a science journalist and really passionate about brain science. Brain science of love happens to be one of the subtopics I love under the neuropsychology umbrella.

Why exactly I started this blog? I’d wanted to start one since long. I’d even created one, only to never write a single post. It was intended to be more of a general brain science blog. It never saw the light of the day of course.

And I got busy with a lot of other things. And you know how life goes..

But I have recently started thinking about getting paid to write blogs. Well, I already often get paid for the occasional article I write, but I was thinking if I could get a regular blogging gig or something of that type.

And for a blog like that to work, I need to really narrow down the topic. So I thought I would go with this, especially because it has an inexhaustible amount of data available now and new breakthroughs bomb our readers every day. And I love this topic. I guess we all do.

I eventually hope to sell this blog to an online portal and get regular pay to write it. My ambition to sell the blog will not affect the content in any way, not at least until I sell it.

This is, I’m sure, not entirely new territory to you, but I hope you are able to widen your knowledge with it.
