Love is in the air and it’s not a crime if your Boss or any colleague also feels the fever and asks you out for a date. This can be difficult to either accept or reject. Experts always advise not to indulge in any relation with your boss or any co-worker, but if the circumstances are not in your hands then follow these tips and take a satisfying decision.
Ask for grounds: – This is not a compulsion that you boss ask you for some emotional reason only. There can be a possibility that some client or other official person makes an excuse at the last moment and hence he asks you as a replacement. Just know the grounds on which he asks you out.
You come first: – Make sure you are comfortable with this or not. What you feel is more and most important. Take some time and think all about your view on this date, about the related person, about all the prospective of the relation and no relation.
Consider all Pros and cons: – going out on a date with your boss or co-worker can bring pros and cons. Before taking any decision, consider all possibilities. This can be a new beginning of a new relation that can peruse for a lifetime. But this can reason for envy and jealousy. Also, this can give a topic for gossiping about you and your boss too.
Set some rules if it’s a “YES”:- If your final decision is to say a Yes then make sure you make some rules too. The rules are to make some limits and to follow the rules too. Remember both of you are working in the same office and hence there can be many things that you may know about others and the person next to you is your boss so don’t discuss any official thing in any and every situation.
Say a Diplomatic “NO”:- If you don’t find it comfortable and your reply is a No then say it with a diplomatic twist. Make sure he is your boss and can affect your working if anything goes wrong. Explain all your points and be clear what you say.
Feelings and emotions are not in anyone’s control and hence you can’t control them. But you can control your emotions. So make sure whatever decision you take must work out for you.
