[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean, I'm a married female attorney so it hasn't been that big a problem.  I met my husband when I was a junior associate, but I did switch to government in large part because my job did not allow enough time to see him: we'd moved in together but he was home alone.   I do know people who feel unable to make room in their schedules for a boyfriend.

I haven't met anybody who says "I don't date attorneys" but I guess I wouldn't have much cause to meet them in that context.

PS, don't date where you work. [/quote]

Don't follow the last "PS."  I dated a few guys st my various jobs and ultimately married one.[/quote]

This.  My present fed job is the first office where I have not had an office relationship.  They used to call our section "The Love Boat."  We had several marriages.  Yes, it can be a problem.  We had one engaged couple where on of the two had an affair with another lawyer in the office and that ended that.  I'm in a committed relationship and, anyway, our section has changed.  I agree with the posters who point out that female lawyers limit themselves to about two percent of the male population, while male lawyers are way more open minded.  At one office I worked at, I dated one of the secretaries.  But none of the female lawyers ever dated any of the male litigation assistants.  It is true that both men and women in Biglaw have it tough.  There was one lawyer I was dating, but her hours made it virtually impossible to be sure that she would actually be free for the evening if we planned to see each other.  Ultimately I had to end it.  Not her fault, but the relationship just never had a chance to grow.[/quote]
