Don’t date at work (ever), regardless of how it grows into something more or ends, this will impact the way people see you professionally. There us no way to escape that.
Does he report to you? If so. Don’t do it.
Listen to your gut.
Honestly, the awkwardness you're feeling might stem from the power dynamics at play. As women in leadership, we’re often hyper-aware of how things might be perceived by others, both in terms of professionalism and fairness. You might also be worried about how this could impact team dynamics or maybe even your rep. It’s natural to feel that resistance... it’s your inner leader trying to protect the integrity of your position. At least, that's what I think.
I've learned this the hard way. Never date at work. If the relationship doesn't work, it can really really affect your career, put you job at risk. In my case, I wanted to cut off the guy eventually but he started stalking me. So I was never again comfortable at work. And we didnt even work at the same department. Fortunately I found a new opportunity and left. If the guy is in your team, even more red alerts! We as women have to be extra careful. We were always taught to search for love and acceptance everywhere we go, and unfortunately we still need to take care so people dont think we just got to leadership positions by seducing or sleeping with people... not to mention sexual harassement accusations. If i were you, i would search elsewhere...
Thanks for sharing this. Do you feel like it's okay to have crushes when you're married? I struggle with accepting that feeling.
Do not date at work
Please, for the love of God - don’t do this
