Can't say I've dated a boss.
I would never date one, either.

I think it's problematic to date your boss or your subordinate because of the power imbalance. (Although, it seems to have worked out for the Obama family. She was his boss when she was a lawyer and he was a summer intern.) Co-workers are fine in that respect, but it's important to beware of the potential for awkwardness or conflict if the relationship sours. (It's probably wiser to confine workplace relationships to people in other departments.)
Right now, I'm in a weird situation where I'm interested in one of my (law school) professors. (I'm getting indications from him that the interest is mutual. He hasn't crossed any ethical lines, but the tension/chemistry is definitely there.) I recognize that it's the same situation as dating the boss, so I know it's problematic. However, I'm thinking of asking him out when the semester is over. I'll never have him for another class because I've taken all the classes he teaches. He's single, he's a younger professor, and I'm an older student.

Only twice have I ever had immediate supervisors who were young enough or attractive enough to consider dating. And both of them were married (or close enough to it). When I was an intern at Congressman Flake's office, there was this very sexy constituent liason. Think Krista Miller from The Drew Carey Show.
Once, I did ask out a co-worker to lunch. She was a manager. I wasn't. But since we worked for different departments, I didn't think there would be a problem. There have been several successful inter-office romances at the old bookstore where I worked. When the day came, she stood me up. I couldn't get a straight answer out of her after that. Shortly thereafter, she started dating one of her own subordinates. Shortly after that, she got fired and the guy she was dating took her job.

Man...you're doing it all wrong.
We really are twins separated at birth. My mom used to say that all the time.
Seriously, though.
Yep. Ahh, alcohol...
Never dated a "boss" but I've "dated" several of my employees. Lots of fun, usually ends in disaster though. Most of the time they leave or I have to fire them for something. Typically they get an attitude that they can get away with shit cause I'll back them. Their mistake.
If you are in a position to pick or choose go for the married ones. They are the most giving, willing, in need, and FREAKY!!!
Good luck

So you fuck your employees and then you fire them. Classy.
Anyone else need other reasons for not dating your boss?

I think you missed the relevant "classy" part of that text. "Typically they get an attitude that they can get away with shit cause I'll back them. Their mistake." Now THAT'S what I call "classy". Some chick thinks she can get away with crap that they know they couldn't get away with before just cause they get intimint with the boss. Yeah sure, now that is real class there.
No body said anything about scat movies in this thread. That's just gross.
Sounds like what happened to me.
[HomerSimpson] "Date my boss?! Do I dare live out the American Dream?" [/HomerSimpson]
I don't think I know anyone who has dared date their boss in my job. Sure, perhaps the equivalent of our shop floor supervisor (and indeed things have gone further in some cases, usually to my detriment
), but the boss? Not yet.

I've actually dated two from the same place of employment.
The first one was the GM who asked me if I wanted to hang out at her place. She'd never seen a Star Wars film and I brought Revenge of the Sith and savored the huge gasp when Samuel L. Jackson gets his ass kicked by Palpatine.
The second boss I've been dating for almost three years now and we're still getting along really well, considering we spend almost every waking moment together either at home or at work.

My father gave me the following advice:
A cat was walking down a railroad track. A train came along and cut off the tip of the cat's tail. The cat turned around and a second train cut off the cat's head.
Moral of the Story:
Don't lose your head over a piece of tail.
