right, here's the situation...
On tuesday i split up with my boyfriend of 3 years, im not sad about it or anything really as it was something that i knew was comin for while, and im actually relieved to be out of that relationship... Then on thursday a big group of us went out from work for "1 or 2" drinks, ended up gettin pretty drunk and we all crashed at someone's house for the night... without giving too much detail me and a certain bloke had relations of a sexual nature, and then we did again last night after a night out on the piss...
we work in retail in a pretty big store... now the problem is that not only do we work on the same department, although i've only just joined his department, but im actually his senior... we aint exactly an item as such, we are just seeing how things go, but im so concerned that i shouldnt be letting myself get into this situation... i mean i'm meant to be 1 of his bosses (supervisor), and surely its going to look really unprofessional of me, and also if things dont work out everything will be on display for the rest of the store to see and gossip about...
sorry if this post doesnt make very much sense, im just really confused as i like him a lot but im concerned because of the work situation... any thoughts or comments are welcome, i could really do with hearing other people's opinions right now, cheers x

i work at tesco and there's people going out all over the bloody shop! i think it's fine just as long as you don't parade yourselves around in front of everyone and act in a mature way when you're at work..i.e. not all over eachother. so basically keeping your private life private.
in our store there are quite a few relationships between colleague's (sp?), but none between 2 people on the same department, and none between a supervisor/manager and a "normal" member of staff... i suppose im just concerned about it looking unprofessional... the guy who's involved has reassured me that it will be ok, but then again he's doesnt need 2 worry quite so much as his repuation isn't at stake as much as mine... arghhh i dunno
Normally I'd say avoid screwing the crew, but he probably won't be crew in a fortnight anyway.
