Ben and Leslie from Parks and Recreation
Sometimes your love story doesn’t start off with a “love at first sight” moment; heck, you might have hated each other at first – at least that was the case for Ben and Leslie. These two couldn’t stand each other when they first met but as the show progressed, they soon realized they had feelings for each other. They’re both dorky and quirky in their own unique ways and bring out the best in each other. But we all know that we should never fall in love with someone we work with because 1. It will be totally awkward if you guys end up breaking up and have to still face each other at work (yikes!) 2. Helllllo, conflict of interest. However, we all know that despite the barriers and rules that love conquers all. Ben gave up his job so that Leslie can continue working at the place that she loved. He also stayed in Pawnee just to see where their relationship would take them. But this was only just the tip of the iceberg when it came to his huge, loving gestures. And though Leslie has high energy and can be in her own world sometimes, in the end she returned the grand gestures and supported Ben when he wanted to follow his dreams and continue his career in Washington D.C. These two are the prime example of what it means to have a partner in crime and for someone to have your back through the ups and the downs. Watching them fall in love reminded us all that you can still pursue your dreams while falling head over heels for your best friend. – Camille Espiritu
