A love piece on Toopanda notes that you need to learn to keep the affair private. Here are 5 tips for keeping your work place romance a secret

1. Refrain from getting steamy at work

 Being too close to each other is not recommended when you are working at the same place. Give yourself some space. Each of the partners needs space to do his or her things.

2. Interact with everyone

Do not be selective in your interactions. Feel free to interact with everyone. In so doing, your partner will also be your best friend.

3. Avoid planning vacations together

Going for vacations with your lover can be detrimental. There are other times you can see each other than vacations. The holidays can raise eyebrows at the work place. 

4. Keep it low on social media

Do not share your feelings on social media. Also when you take her to Kempinski or Carnivore, don't rush to share the photos.  Sharing can open many secrets no one ever knew about you. Talk about other things other than love on social media. 

5. Put off mobile notifications

Putting off notifications will reduce many speculations. There are times she or he might be tempted to call or send you texts while in office. The smile on both your faces coupled with the notification can leave behind many questions.
