2 - both in my current job (and one of whom I worked with at the time too, but he was only a temp so wasn’t expecting him to be around long). The other one I’m still friends with and we flirt sometimes but have never had a repeat. Probably won’t either.
Those 2 are roughly about 1% of my total number of partners. As dale said earlier, gay guys have it much much easier

Well, my husband and I worked for the same company for about 6 months, but we were already married.

Yep, my wife briefly worked for the newspaper I edited out in Oregon. She had a Saturday morning paper route until she found more permanent employment. For two weeks I could brag that I was nailin’ the hot chick in circulation. It wasn’t really that funny, but it made our teen-age son roll his eyes so hard they clicked, and that was pretty awesome.
Two. One was really bad. He made me feel sick all the time, since I got to watch him flirt with our other coworker (with whom he eventually cheated on me). That’s when I started to see what people were talking about when they say not to date your coworkers. It was a call center where everyone dated everyone else all the time so it wasn’t out of the ordinary. That was several years ago, and I am over it now.
You’d think I would have learned after that, but when a coworker I’d had a crush on for months asked me out, and subsequently revealed he’d had a crush on me for over a year, I definitely couldn’t say no! So he turned out to be awesome, and we’re moving in together by the end of September. We work in support, but it’s not a call center, it’s internal. We both work on the same team, though I’m pretty sure he’ll be promoted soon.
Two. The first was a woman I had a crush on for years, then it all seemed to come together in the space of a couple weeks. I was in heaven. I blissfully ignored my co-worker’s warnings (“Stay away from her–she’s just using you!”). They were right…she broke my heart several times in an on-again, off-again drama that lasted several years.
The second time worked out better. Our “romantic” relationship didn’t last, but we’ve been best friends since we broke up 8 years ago.
Slept with none, but did some kissing and groping with a couple of them. The last one was when I was in college still, and if the workplace hadn’t closed down about 6 months later it could have been bad in the long term. She got jealous of the girlfriend I met a few weeks after our last make-out session. That, and since she was married with kids it could have turned into a very bad situation.
I would avoid doing anything with anyone I work with now. Besides which, I’m married, so I’ve got another very strong incentive not to do anything stupid.
Opportunitys on the oil rig are a little … limited.

I’m waiting to hear what Qadgop the Mercotan and Little Nemo have to say.
As for myself: none. I’ve got a huge blind spot about things like that–even before I was married, most of the time it never would even have crossed my mind to ask a coworker out, for some reason.
