Having an office romance is complicated, a romance with a boss can be more exciting but difficult to handle. A gay employee who is in love with a boss and wants to attract his attention faces even more difficulties. Being determined to start dating his boss, he must first find out if he is gay or not to avoid awkward situations. This article can help you.

• First of all, it is important to remember that there is no universal sign that indicates that a person is gay. Don’t follow stereotypes. No matter how well you think you separate the gay from the straight, there is always the risk of being wrong.
• Don’t believe the rumors. No matter what is said about your boss, there is no confirmation. Another mistake is to spread rumors yourself to start a discussion about his personal life. It’s a dangerous and totally unacceptable way to find out what you need to know. Not only do you run the risk of the boss himself finding out, but his colleagues may change his attitude towards you.
• Establish friendly relations with your boss. A person may want to discuss his sexual orientation only out of his own free will. Try to show that you are trustworthy and if one day he decides to talk to you, convince him that no one in the company will find out about it.
• Talking about personal life is not easy. It is a very specific and intimate question. If you feel a person is hesitating, help them out by revealing their own sexual orientation or at least giving them some clues.
• It is strongly recommended that you do not try to find out a person’s sexual preferences out of sheer boredom or for malicious purposes. Everything you do and say can backfire on you and later influence company-wide policy. Even if you are guided by romantic feelings, be very careful not to hurt another person.
• Why is the question of trying to build relationships with your boss so complicated? Even if you feel true affection, you can easily go wrong. Any love story can turn life into a disaster. An employee is always less protected than a boss, so no matter what a love story turns into, he risks more than a person in a higher position. If your work is important to you and your feeling is only mild interest, ask yourself if you really want to be involved in this.
