Cupid’s Advice:

It may seem comfortable to date someone who works for you but be prepared for awkwardness if it doesn’t work out the way you planned.

1. Approach with caution: Though it might be an easy affair to fall into, becoming involved with any hired help – whether it’s a bodyguard, nanny, or gardener – can make life at home tricky.  Make sure you have a conversation with the other person about their intentions before jumping into anything.

2. Set boundaries: In this case more than any other, it’s key to draw lines between your personal and professional lives.  The two are intertwined, but keeping things separate will lead to a healthier relationship.

3. Have a back up plan: Should the relationship go sour, it’s key to have someone else in mind to cover your ex’s job incase he or she decides to quit.
