Starting a new job in a new area is some what intimidating. Not knowing anyone or really anything about how things are run. You begin to meet new people around work, letting you know inside scoop about their drama and such. Whose dating who; who you trust who you cannot trust. It is real tricky coming into a new workplace trying not to step on anyones toes.
Now you can take two options into this little crisis. 1.) Become friends with you colleagues opening yourself to them, getting insided the work bubble. 2.) Closing yourself off to your colleagues, goinging into work do your business, get out.
Its usually impossible to take the second option unless you work in a large group dependent workplace. Since I have only worked in a reaturant since age 15 I have met a good amout of people but never had a serious relationship with someone I worked with. I feel it's too distracting to the environment and its workers. Because it is too hard to work with a couple that don't want to work with each other because of relationship problems.

I can definitely relate to the workplace relationships that you mentioned. With my job I have to know a lot of people and maintain good working relationships with pretty much everyone. Just a situation and question for thought though. Its hard sometimes to become acquainted with certain individuals who do not and openly express that they want nothing to do with you. In those situations do you just leave that person alone and keep on your merry way knowing that you did your best to be "work friendly"?
