He's not MY boss, but he does hold a management position where I work so he outranks me. I'm pretty sure there aren't any rules against this, but I wouldn't want people to think that I'm dating him to get a promotion or something because I'm not. I've only gone out with him a few times so I can't really say where things are headed, but I wouldn't want things to get ugly in any way.
I would not date at work (especially the boss) unless I knew we had enough compatibility that we were a once in a lifetime match, and we were both looking for similar things that include something permanent and long term. I think dating the boss is an unwise move if either of you is looking just to date around or have a fling. Too much potential to mess up your career or be the new source of gossip at your office. There are lots of guys in the world, and unless that one is something REALLY special, you risk making going to work every day uncomfortable if things don't pan out.
A lot of people will say never date anyone you work with, but I say,"Hey, you have to meet men/women somewhere.. (shrugs) You both should know the consequences of how this works! A chance you both take! Good luck!!

I wouldn't say "never" because some couples do meet at work. At the same time, if you just want to screw around or date casually (or the other person does), your boss may be a poor choice. Being able to step into the office and be seen as a professional is a good thing. It gets a lot harder when you find out people were talking over lunch about you and Mr. Boss and what you may or may not have been doing in the sack. If both people are mature and looking for something serious, it could be doable.

I agree. There are many dating/married couples at my workplace, so that's why I don't really thing it'd be a huge deal unless he was my direct supervisor, but he's not. I could do without the potential gossip because I'm a pretty private person, but I just think people need to mind their own business.

That's true..it could just work out! I married my supervisor years ago, and it lasted 15 yrs.
I did have the other coworkers talking about me/us, but I didn`t care, and he didn`t either.
