OP:

I am wondering if you are able to understand why you should not ask your boss out.

Yes, totally and completely inappropriate, ESPECIALLY since you are the male and she's the female. It would be a very good way to lose your job. DON'T DO IT!!

What so it would be OK for her to ask him out but not the other way? LOL

You know perfectly well why. Most men would be flattered and unlikely to file harassment charges against a female coworker who asked them out, but no so much the other way around. Women are much more likely to view a simple date request as harassment. I've seen it happen with coworkers. Not saying that it's right, just that it is.


As a man, I would NEVER even think about asking a female coworker out or get involved with one in any way. There are simply way to many bad scenarios possible, it's simply not worth it.

I matched with a coworker on Tinder today and went out to lunch with another one I matched with last week. Luckily, I've never had an attractive supervisor, so that's not an issue.

I want to believe this is an April Fool's Joke, but sadly I suspect it isn't.

Oh don't worry I knew EXACTLY what you meant but I just think it's funny to be honest. Obviously I can't argue with your experience and more importantly what you've seen but in my experience I've actually seen women laugh it off more than men and in actual fact I've seen men take it worse when they have been turned down or rejected and cause complications.

I really want to take her to dinner, but don't know how to ask. Would it be inappropriate?? I'm 22 and I think she's in her later 20s. I am working at a university in a research lab. Is dating your supervisor bad??? I will quit if that's what it takes to date her. Althought I'm not even sure if she's single.

What do I do? And do you think I have a chance??
Here's how: Don't.
