Given the numerous scenes from way back in Seasons 3 and 4, I think Tiva have been surreptitiously disobeying Gibbs' Rule #12. There were a number of times Ziva invited Tony over to her place for dinner and Mossad had several spy pics of Tony leaving Ziva's place.
If it were me, I'd modify Rule #12 to: "Never fall in love with a coworker," instead of "Never date a coworker." I'd date a coworker but it doesn't necessarily mean I'm gonna fall in love with her.
@triplexxxsatyr I get your point, but you can't really tell two people that they can't fall in love. I think what the rule means is that you are not allowed to date because it's not as committed as a serious relationship and not as solid, whereas being in love with someone and having a relationship is something more stable. I think that would be the loophole they would use if they ever got together. To show Gibbs that what they feel is true, not just sex or dating. He couldn't break that up. Je.
For the sake of argument, suppose Tiva stops being in love with each other? What do they have left? They still have to trust each other as they work together.
The dynamics of an MCRT are different than in any other ordinary office place. MCRTs put their lives in each other's hands; that's a bond closer than anyone can possibly understand, which is why Gibbs is vigilant about it. That's the hard part of Rule #12. Gibbs understood that after his affair with Shepard in Paris.
@triplexxxsatyr True. I think the reason that Gibb's made Rule 12 was because he knew that relationships may not last and if they (Tiva) were to be in a relationship and then break-up it may mess with the dynamic of the team. Though McAbby seem to have weathered through the storm some how.
@inawhirl15 haha pretty much! Only now, in season 8, I don't think hes like dated more than a handful of women....hes still hung up about ziva i hope!
@Kittyhawk58 i'll be sure to carry on this conversation in 2012 =)
it was really sad and heartbreaking the way that he and Jeanne fell apart... she had to come in for questionning about her father's death and when she was leaving, she asked tony if he loved her and if anything had been real: he replied that he didnt love her and that it was basically all fake.
my god, i hope i wasnt the only one in near-tears ='(
And he would enjoy dating her!

loooooooool!
he would so date her.
but he just had to have a comeback to Ziva's 'breathing' remark, and I'm guessing dating her was the first thing that came to mind. ;D
Anyone feel better now? (:

Tony is always saying things like that, to Kate, to McGee, and to Ziva.
Gibbs and Abby are the only one he avoids. He knows the risks :D
