Is it okay to date somebody that you work with? Does it matter if it is a volunteer position? Do the workers need to be in the same authority position (i.e. the manager may not date an employee)?
***Edit*** Here is a specific situation I'd like you to vote on:
There is a Manager of a non-profit project. This person has two Assistant Managers, and a number of labor workers to do hands on activities and other workers to oversee the project. Customers come and enjoy the project that this group of individuals is putting on. Now, since it is very difficult to get a job in this organization because you need to be in with the group of friends, there are a series of relationships that have formed between the workers. For example, the manager is dating a labor worker, two labor workers are dating each other, an overseer is dating a labor worker, and two overseers are dating each other. As you can see, every department is tied together and within itself by these relationships. These are volunteer positions, nobody is paid.
A highly qualified individual applies for a job with this company. A love interest of one of the assistant managers is brought on the team even though they have no idea what they are doing. The qualified individual is rejected.
Is dating okay in this workplace? Why or Why not?

Please debate, but please keep it child friendly and appropriate at all times!
