Love is in the air and it's heating up the workplace. Thirty per cent of workers surveyed across Canada said they have dated a co-worker at least once over the course of their career; 12 per cent reported dating co-workers at least twice. Twenty-eight per cent said their office romance led them to the altar - this, according to CareerBuilder. ca's annual office romance survey of more than 697 Canadian workers across Canada between Nov. 9 and Dec. 5, 2011.

Other findings:

- While the majority of relationships developed between workers in comparable job levels, 25 per cent of workers who dated a coworker said they have dated someone above them in the company hierarchy, and 13 per cent admitted to dating their boss.

Women were more likely than men to date someone higher up in their organization - 35 per cent compared to 17 per cent, respectively.

- Twenty five per cent of respondents reported that what someone does for a living influences whether they would date that person. Five per cent of workers said someone broke up with them because their job required too many hours at the office, they didn't make enough money or the person didn't like their line of work.

- While the majority of workers tended to date people in different professions or functions, 18 per cent reported that they are attracted to people with a similar job.

- Social settings outside of the office were cited most often in regard to workers connecting on a romantic level. Running into each other outside of work (15 per cent), happy hours (14 per cent), late nights at work (nine per cent), and at lunch or a company holiday party (seven per cent) were among the most popular catalysts for dating co-workers.

- Most workers who have had office romances said they were open about their dating situation. Thirty per cent reported they had to keep it under wraps.

"Whether you're dating someone higher up or a colleague at the same level, office romances are always tricky," said Rosemary Haefner, vice president of human resources at CareerBuilder. "First, it is important to know your company's office dating policy. Remember to stay professional and draw a boundary line between your personal life and the workplace."
