So I started kinda "seeing" this one girl who has a connection to my job. She doesn't exactly work with me, but I see her there every few days. Of course the rumor mill has been working overtime with this news and it is already starting to frustrate me as I tend to keep personal business away from work. How do you dealt w/ this (if you have?) Any suggestions?

Heck if you like the girl the hell with the rumor mongrels. If it becomes serious they are going to know about it anyway so why worry about it.

Sorry I can't be of any help except to say good luck. I hope it works out between the two of you even if by "seeing" you mean just having sex. It's a shame people can't mind their own business.

When I was a young man working as the Pinkerton Guard on the evening shift in a General Hospital I ended up a few times going home with a nurse for the night. I rather liked the rumor mill (Remember this was 1967 - the sexual revolution) It let other nurses know the young guard was available for night duty.
That is also where I hooked up with Mrs. R, the older switchboard operator for a continuing affair.
I met my future wife at work and we started living together while still working there. Rumor mill knew about that one as well. Unless you are violating company policy I wouldn't really worry about the rumors.
See it as spontaneous bragging rights. But that is just me, never been much for sneaking around - pretty much a do it in the road kinda guy.

I have before, and I would again. Far as rumors are concerned
Unless your place of employment has a no-fraternization policy amongst employees, I wouldn't treat it as a secret. They'd then have nothing to gossip about.

. I have a few co-workers that are married to each other and a few that go out together publicly and a few more that are messing around, but trying to keep it on down low. Nature of the working atmosphere.
