Met my first wife while working at Timberland Boots. Lasted 10 years before she gave me the boot. (pun intended)
No, I won't get involved with someone from work. Besides, the only females we have are temp workers who are there for a certain length of time when we have more than one job running
Sebastino: lol, get another job a man boss and date him.....just kidding
Of course I would date ... a boss is a man or a woman like any other person. As the romance between two coworkers, both must know how to separate personal life in the workspace. I am half anarchic ....

yeah, i can agree with you. your boss is a man or woman just like you so anything is possible including a relationship. besides that even give you some level of authority in the company
A couple of years ago, I was part of administration (the boss) of a human service agency. My boyfriend became unemployed and I gave him a job. Coming from a bosses perspective it was the worst thing I could've done. When he broke up and moved in with one of my counselors (who was a man)....the whole thing really got ugly. There was a lot of gossip and alot of bad statements made about me because he was a man scorned and said only hateful things about me and talked alot about my private life. IT WAS UGLY!!!!! I lost the respect of some of my employees, even though the things he was saying wasn't true. It was hard to be their boss after that. And, I was dating this person way before I became their boss. So not only is it a bad idea for an employee to date their boss, but it is a bad idea for a boss to date their employee.

Sorry, but I disagree with you. you used the authority of your position as boss in benefit of your boyfriend.
