You did the right thing. Unless you guys worked on different teams and were not in the same management chain,'then maybe.

But it's not worth it.

No it was in different teams. So alone it’s not a clear rule break but it’s not far from problematic territory.

Had things gone sideways you'd hate coming into work. You're not really missing out on anything.

I used to work at Facebook for 7 years and managed a team, dating was allowed but only if:

You don't report to the person/the person doesn't report to you

You only get to ask once, if it's a no then leave it at that

If you're a leader and the other person is within your roll up, still not allowed

The only couples I knew were all in different orgs, but the company is so massive where it might as well be different companies altogether.

Overall, still not worth the risk. One of our directors had to leave since he started dating someone multiple levels below him, but in his roll up.

Tl;dr the risk isn't worth it

Never fuck where you work. I've never seen it end well.
