Or let me rephrase it: would you be more OK with someone quitting their job if they were in *love* with the person for whom they were working? Let's say that you happened to meet the woman you're currently married to, at work, and she was originally your boss. Are you telling me you wouldn't have tried because of some silly little professional consideration?
Some things are more important than a job -- are you telling me she wasn't?

If she WAS my boss, life is good. If she is my boss, it makes things more sticky. Investigate the thing is fine. Question is how? How long are you two going to go out before you discover whether you are in love or just puppy love or plain old lust? I flunked my clairvoyance class so I have to do it the old way. Date for a while. Therein lies the issue. If we could go on two business lunches and find out if there is even something worth pursuing and risking our careers over, fine. We put the cards on the table and there is no going back. Till then, you can't even know if she feels the same way or not for sure. Even if she goes along with it, you can't know if it will work out or not.
So, for all that risk for that possibility that she is willing to date to explore whether there is a relationship and not even if there is a chance of love or the possibility of a long lasting love, it is a little too rich for my blood. Not worth that kind of risk.
