  I see about half of the comments on this were of a very "mature" nature...

  NOT!

  Well, as a former HR professional, let's take the legal approach to this.

  There's this pesky little concept called "sexual harassment." It can manifest itself in two forms, "quid pro quo" and "hostile environment."

  There is nothing illegal about co-workers dating, but if one or the other can't take "no" for an answer and continues to pursue the dead relationship, it can lead to the "hostile environment" definition. This has also led to many of the workplace violence incidents in the news over the years. Bad news for the employer if it/he/she fails to take action, using the normal disciplinary process or the "negligent retention" precedents.

  The absolute worst scenario, though, is the quid pro quo. It basically means that a certain reward is promised or implied in return for certain "favors." It's also the one in which juries award the largest settlements, if the plaintiff chooses to go that route. There's always the chance a spurned lover may choose this route just out of spite and make accusations, true or not. Whether you are found innocent of the charges or not, it will put a silver bullet in your career with your current emplyer.

  My advice to any boss, manager, or supervisor before dating a subordinate: use your network to get him/her a better job elsewhere, and THEN begin dating.
