A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Hey

There is a guy who wants to give a job. He has a tech business that is booming and has a lot of Franchises. He likes me a lot and we have only known each other for 2 months. I like talking to him and sharing jokes but am not in love and more importantly I want a job! I just want to know if he does hire me, I accept and somewhere there we start dating...

would it be unethical?

is it right to be dating my boss/boyfriend?

or more importantly should my boss be my boyfriend?

eddie85 agony auntMy advice to you is:

If you really care about your job, than all relationships at work are off limits.

Having a loved one at the office can lead to:

1) Sexual discrimination problems

2) If things go south, you'll have to go to work and have to deal with him

3) Your relationship and its status will likely be company-wide knowledge.

Before jumping in, I hope you consider some worst cases on this.

From personal experience after having dated someone from work (a long time ago), it was awkward and very uncomfortable when things melted down when I realized I had unrequited feelings for her. Suffice to say that soon afterwards I was shopping for a new job.

aunt honesty agony auntIt can cause a lot of issues in a relationship if they are your boss at work. It could be hard for you to take orders from him at work, and be equals outside of work. I can honestly say it wouldn't be the best start to a relationship, however it doesn't mean it can't work it just means that your personal life and work life would need to be kept separate and you would both need to work on this to make sure it happens.
