Yeah, it seems like it could end a lot worse then good. Truth is mark all office relations, even in hiring, as totally professional for just that reason. This is kind of hypocritical of me to say though as I'm the one who hired the man I ended up marrying lol. Bu t that should be a bigger indication of it being a bad idea: I didn't even know him and nearly lost my job for it. If my superior wasn't a 63 year old, chronically-high, salty oceanographer, he'd probably have canned me hard. So yeah, leave be is probably the best approach.
