  • It is acceptable, but, the reason for accepting such an invitation should be kept on a professional level. Becareful of your alcohol intake if there is any involved, you don't want to become your boss's pet play thing, or somthing to talk about to his cohorts around the water cooler. If he makes advances toward you, just leave, or excuse yourself to the rest room and just leave, no harm no foul, and your more the wiser next time he invites you to something similar. If he has issues with it you can discuss it together later at work. It is a wise policy to not accept date invitations from your boss's or employers, co-workers maybe, but either way it can raise issues, and being a mature and professional adult, you want to avoid such complications. -a rating would be most generous.
  • you certainly pointed out somethings I need to think about. thank you very much.
  • If the dinner is one on one then no. Any work issues or items can be handled during the day at work or maybe a lunch but not dinner. Dinner constitutes a whole different venue where the lines of work and social interaction are crossed. Throw in the mix of alcohol or romantic ambiance and you have the makings of office gossip and speculation. One other piece that should not be overlooked and that is if either one of them is married.
  • Are there possible underlying reasons for this dinner> Think of all the possibilities, good or bad, before making a decision.
  • Why you? Are you being targeted for being a spy for the company or what? Or has your name appeared next in the list? Single date with the boss is not a good idea- mixing work with pleasure always never had pleasant outcome. Ask around your office.
  • Only if neither one of you are married and you have a thick skin when it comes to gossip...
  • It's best if you don't.
  • I think it would be fine as long as you keep it professional.
