Don't avoid risks because of what other people tell you. If the possible cost seems to high, avoid the risk because YOU decided to do so.
If you like the guy and you want to go out, perhaps you should take the chance. You may have a good time and it may lead to another date and then another. Who knows, you may end up being the boss's daughter in law, carting his grand-kids around to soccer practice in a minivan.
If you start down the road of negative thinking, where will it stop? "I can't date so and so because thus and such might happen". I bet you could think of a reason not to date just about anyone.
It's just a date. You aren't signing an Intercontinental Ballistics Missile treaty or anything.

Look at the pros and cons of your particular situation and make YOUR decision. Like keepontryin said, life is full of risks, sometimes they work out sometimes they don't. Make up your own mind what is okay and let your conscience be your guide.
Good luck.

When it comes to your boss, understand you're taking a risk. Above board, he/she can't touch you based on personal relations. But you do risk things going very badly, especially if you don't treat this son with respect and kindness.
So dive in with the sharks if you like. It may cause trouble for you...or maybe it'll show that you've got chutzpah and will earn you respect for not bowing down to your boss's emotions. Your call. What type of employee are you? And what type of dater are you?
Good luck either way.

M$Trust is a big thing... I personally wouldn't take the chance. Jobs last a long time, and the economy is tough right now. If it's just at the beginning stage of the relationship with the son, where you haven't really dated yet, I'd say it's a good time to back out quickly but politely, explaining that your job is important to you.
However, maybe your job isn't important to you or perhaps you like this guy more than you like your job. If that's the case, then go ahead and cautiously date, but be careful about it and also be cognizant of the fact that if you date him, it could jeopardize your job. Be willing to walk away from the job if you have to or to walk away from the relationship if you have to.
Communication is going to be the key if you proceed. Talk about your concerns with the job -- being absolutely certain you don't say anything negative about your boss, like, "What if things don't work out and then your parent takes it out on me?" That's not a justified fear, because later, if you two split on bad terms, that goes back to the parent, your boss, as, "...said you were petty and would take revenge!"
But you can communicate in a way that says, "Look, I don't want our personal life to put your parent in an uncomfortable situation at work with others thinking maybe I'm getting preferential treatment, even if it's not true... so we need to be careful... blah blah blah..."
If you begin to worry it's affecting the job or how your boss treats you, communicate openly with your boss too. Tell your boss that you are dating their son and that you don't want it to interfere with your work, that you don't expect or want any special treatment, and that you can keep things professional.
Communication and full disclosure between your boss and your boss's son is absolutely essential, while keeping it on quiet amongst the coworkers is the best course of action IF you proceed to dating.
Otherwise, it's likely best to just avoid dating at this point and keep the job separate from personal life completely.

Practically, no.
However it depends on your exact relationship with your boss and the relationship that exists between them.
If faced with the same situation, I wouldn't. I would talk to your bosses son, tell him what is going on and remain good friends.
Best of luck!

Will you be unfairly penalized from the boss if they take the son's side? People at work will take about any special treatment they think your are getting. No way would I date the boss's son.

M$- if you have a fight it could affect your work
- if you break up it could be very uncomfotable for you at work.
- boss might pay special attention to your behavior at work i.e. are you flirting with co workers?
- if the boss doesn't feel that you are treating his son properly he could take it out on you at work
- if you get a promotion your co workers might resent it because of your relationship with the son.......

No sadly on many levels it is not OK.
1 Coworkers may think you have an unfair advantage.
2 If things don't work out well on your date your boss could become a nightmare to deal with
In general whenever you can avoid mixing work and personal life avoid it.
. . . that being said if this guy is absolutely awesome, would it be worth getting a different job?
