Yes....I was a bit hesitant too, to mention my boss.
But, when the romance started, HE WASN'T my boss, but got later promoted....LOL.
THAT'S why I had decided to mention it.....
BTW...I personally think, that a romance with your BOSS is way trickier to "juggle", then just a "co-worker".
Not only because of the "scandal", but, what do some do, when you break if off.......huh.
Worse case....losing the job.....

LOL.. Way to go dear, and I think that deserves a go to your room!

Okay, to the topic; Being romantically involved with somebody you work with can open up a can of worms, especially these days. About 8 years ago, one of the guys at this company I worked at was courting this gal, who also worked there, and from what we saw, things were going pretty good between them. But things turned sour all of the sudden and he was asked to not have any contact with her, unless there was business-related reason. From what we heard, they both had a major disagreement and she filed a sexual harrasement or some similar complaint against him, and of course, so many rumors started flying around the company. If I remember correctly, the company at the time updated their policies regarding employees and romantic relationships.

That's why in my opinion, such relationships are not a good idea.

Hey,want to talk about your boss go ahead,I thought you guys were not comfortable talking about the boss,it's all good!
As long as there is a positive and negative balance, we are only human,that's why life is so interesting!

I had an office fling with the girl who sits across from me, and honestly, it was a terrible idea. The relationship was a lust over love situation, and after a few months it fizzled out. Now, we can't even stomach to look at one another let alone talk to each other.

He's married so the only time we can get together is during the day.

I also got involved I think one more time at work... that was a fling with a much younger guy.
He is married..... yea maybe i shouldn't say anything at all.....goodnight all

The only problem I need solved is to find a way to stop hearing her yell at her daddy because the 2 million dollar loft he bought her in SoHo is too drafty. I am looking at her now and I want to gouge my eyes out.

No, it goes against my own personal belief to do so.....

I don't think it is good practice.
