Uh, I suspect that your perspective is slightly obscured by your current disillusionment with females.
Don't be silly. . . MILLIONS of people have stayed together forever. The inability of most people to honor their vows doesn't change that fact.
i'm just saying from personal experience...working @ best buy...i dated a girl from Customer Service. Occasionaly, she'd need a guy from computers to verify the integrity of a return and when there was only one or two of us scheduled, and i had to go, things were difficult.
Next scenario: I dated three of the girls from Staples. Had a blast seeing as two were best friends. Probably the most memorable dating experiences were from those two. I had no regrets dating in the workplace and would have certainly encouraged it after those two. I was electronics/furniture lead and next was a girl that i took out to lunch, being the nice guy that i am. She was a copy center girl who also did customer service. I opened the doors, pulled the whole Don Juan bit (which comes natural) and she fell in love with me. I really didn't even like the girl...the only reason i took her out was b/c her homecoming date cancelled on her. Then things got difficult after she realized that i wasn't paying any attention to her after telling her i wasn't looking for anything more than a friendship. She'd go out of her way to see me...which was nice, but i didn't want to see her. She brought her mother into the store to purchase electronic items and would then return the items to a nearby store. She used her mother as a customer and mediator, knowing i wouldn't sacrifice a sale or step up to her mother. Long story short: she filed harassment against me b/c i shut her out and ignored her. It was later thrown away by the GM/DM at the time.
Lastly: @ kmart. I got attached to a girl who i thought i fell in love with. She was/still is drop-dead gorgeous. Everything about her was perfect. She worked customer service, i was/am the pantry manager. I'd see her every chance i could. Things were great...despite our lack of "true" communication, but that's beside the point. Whenever something bad happened, the entire store knew about it...which created some tension between mutual friends/associates who seemed to get in the way when they tried to intervene and mediate. Then we'd stop talking for long periods of time...first time was 2 months...then things were great again. Then the whole process started over again...things went great, we fought, people intervened, i was PMSing @ work, we stopped talking.
Moral of the story: you can have a great time with the right girl, but the odds are not on your side. Do what makes you happy!!!
