Okay so theres this guy at work that I like and he now knows this, thanks to another co worker. Yikes! He told her He thought I was pretty and actually thought about asking me out, but right now he's moving into a new apartment from his ex wifes house. He hasen't actually said anything to me yet.  I'm a little weary about dating someone I work with. He's my supervisor and has been for 8 years now. I have alot of mixed feelings about it.

Don't do it. If something goes wrong in your personal relationship it will spill over to your work relationship. Especially if he is your supervisor. Yikes!!!

 I will really think about it. Thanks. Just thinking about it makes me nervous and I haven't really been paying attention to what i'm doing. Like I messed up on paperwork 3 times and yesterday I slammed my finger in the car door. I'm a nervous wreck. LOL!

A long, long time ago, I made a personal policy for myself to *never* date a co-worker. I will keep true to that until the day my life passes on this planet. I don't like the idea. I think it creates rumors and a lot of pressure to hide behind things. I don't want my personal life to be the "daily gossip" around the water cooler. I keep my professional and personal lives separates. That way, there's no need to me to even think of possibly wanting to date someone who works in the same company as me. When I'm at work, I work for the company and no one else. I'm not there to meet people so I can "hop in the sack" or get romantically involved with anyone. If people met others that way, more power to them all. I refuse to go through with anything like that at all. I avoid that like the plague. I have my own ethical principles of integrity to live by in life.
If a woman at work comes up to me and says, "Scott, I've been meaning to say this to you, blah blah blah.." I'll be like, "Thanks, but I developed my personal philosophy a long time ago about being involved in romantic relationships with co-workers. While I don't mind if others do it, I refuse to do so myself. I feel romantic relationships at work can undermine the focus on teamwork and accomplishing company objectives and goals (including my individual goals). I wish you the very best in your search for someone who will be very compatible for you." If she doesn't buy it and wants to keep badgering me, I'll document everything that happened and then take it as far as I need to go. If she gets fired because of it, not my problem. It's her problem. Why should I feel sorry for someone who had a crush on me at work only to see herself be fired? She put herself in that position. It was her choice and not mine. If she isn't mature enough to deal with rejection in life, she needs to see a mental health professional (file under "nutcase").

You only live once so if you're interested go for it!
Just understand the 2 of you will constantly be the subject of rumors. Petty co-workers may accuse him of favoritism, and you of trying to sleep your way up the ladder. And since he's your supervisor your employer may have rules against it.
But if it's all good with the 2 of you, why not?
