> I'm also worried that pursuing something romantic would not be good for the company. Yes, it rarely ends well. If you end up in a long term relationship or even get married, then the boundaries between work and home get blurred, and on top of that, if you have vested interests in the success of your work (which is your company) things could easily get out of control - clashing egos, 1 partner feeling the other is not doing enough at work, or at home, or both. I've seen 2 of my close friends end up like that. Doesn't mean that's the norm, but things get ugly over a few years... That doesn't mean you should not pursue the romantic relationship, just saying be cautious and don't over-commit too soon. Wait for the "honeymoon period" of the relationship (if you do end up moving forward) to pass and see how thinks look. In "normal" relationships, this period is usually anywhere from 6 months to a year or two...
