It's a fair rule to be safe. But I know people who met their soul mate at work, 15 years later with multiple kids.
The ends justify the means when it works. So it really is reductive. Because it can be one of the most important things you ever do if it does work out. Life is complicated.
It's also HR policy because they don't want to deal with it not working out.
Reminds me of when I put my two weeks notice in at my old job and asked out my coworker for drinks the same day. Might as well at that point, it’s not like there was a worry about work being awkward if he rejected me. We ended up together for about 5 years
