Last night, Michael, Andy, and Oscar took a business trip that got them out of The Office and took them to Canada. While Michael is off with the concierge from their hotel, Andy and Oscar get drunk together and enjoy each other's company. Andy tries to play Oscar's wingman by approaching two men in the bar he thought were gay, and Oscar encourages Andy to drunk dial Angela and ask her why she won't "do him."
Back in Scranton, Kelly and Ryan reignite their relationship, and Pam comes back from New York and makes an adorable speech to Jim upon her return. It seems like, at least in this office, it's easier to fall in love than make friends; as Andy says, "I had to go all the way to Canada to get to know a guy who sits 20 feet away from me." Watch the video of the early stages of their bromance, and then tell me, do you think it's easier to find a relationship than a friend at work?

I do. Flirting with the cute sales guys is easy as pie but all the girls are catty.
1Boyfriends have motivation to keep quiet about anything you've done or said (you will cut him off if he blabs). Friends don't have that motivation.
I think it is FAR easier to be friends with guys at the office than with women.
2well - i don't know. ..i met my fiance at work - so that was pretty great for me...i think that perhaps you find yourself in more of a charged environment when you're at work where you learn more about people which can make them either GREAT sig others but not always great friends.
3That's probably the case. There's something to the psychology of seeing people 5 out of 7 days of the week. You become attracted to the people you spend the most time around, unless they're absolutely repulsive. Being friends with a coworker is difficult for some reason. Maybe it's that anyone who works together is somewhat competitive and without a romantic outlet to take out your jealousy on each other, a friendship just won't work. I've never dated anyone that I worked with, but I can see why it makes sense outside of the awkwardness it would likely cause. After all, that person is at least interested in something you're interested in. If you like your job. At a few companies ago there were a couple of office romances, but the workers kept them on the DL so I had no idea.
4No - the offices I've worked in were populated with well-adjusted, intelligent women. The men seemed to be much less so. I'd never date someone at work, but I had lots of great friendships there.
5Our workplace is pretty much all women and we are all either married or have a significant other. So romance is kind of out of the question. But we are all pretty good friends, which comes in handy because it makes for a very cooperative work environment for everyone.
6Yes. I met my husband at my old office, which employed about 20 people. I only have two friends from there.
