The reasons may be different: the boss may get tired of this affair and he himself kicks the woman out, relations with the team completely deteriorate, or after parting the woman herself becomes the initiator of dismissal.

If the relationship continues for a long time, the following options are possible: in very rare cases, lovers get married, the woman begins to manipulate the man, or remains as a mistress for a long time if the couple manages to hide their relationship.

Don't expect your boss to come crawling to you on his knees with an engagement ring in his mouth after the first date.

Think about whether you can live as a mistress, hiding your relationship from others. How can you resist everyone's condemnation? What will you do if it's just one or two dates and then your boss forgets about you?

Conflict with the boss
