I want to date my Manager
I've been working with this company for a little over a year now. I recently had a change of management just after Christmas. My new manager was a friend of mine that I had always enjoyed talking to. After his break up with his girlfriend he became very angry at everyone and every word that came out of his mouth hurt me personally. After that I avoided him every chance he came by. I knew he was going through a tough time with the new position and his break up, but I was only 18 and two months so I was a little less understanding than I am now. Recently, we've been able to hold our old conversations and constantly laugh at how crazy life is. We've grown very close and we both like each other very much, but he is my manager. We know that it would be against company policy for a manager and his employee to go out together because of nepotism, so we've never mentioned it to anyone and try to keep it very quiet. He's 23 and I'm 18 we want to take our friendship to the next level but its hard for us to understand company policy. He keeps things professional when we are together and I don't expect favoritism from him, I actually would lose all respect for him if he did. We're not sure whether we should tell our boss and what type of reaction it might cause. I might have to switch departments if they say that we can't work together, but I really enjoy my current position and would never think of leaving it. I also worry that if I do change positions that I won't be able to talk to him as often as I once did. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
