Today, I ran into my boss outside of work. She smiled, and started trying to have an in-depth chat with me. I wouldn't have minded, if it weren't for the fact I ran into her at a club, whilst they were having a BDSM theme night. And we were both fully dressed up for it. FML

At least now you know that you two have things other than work goals in common.

I think you should just relax and have fun.

You have an awesome boss. Chill dude

something to break the tension if there was tension before, plus u can laugh about it together!!

I've always wanted to go to those. Where I live, we don't have them. But I have been to munches. The bdsm community is really nice! Don't feel awkward! She will probably be nicer to you now that she knows you two share a colorful interest.

1. You have an awesome boss. 2. Your boss is probably just as embarrassed and awkward about what happened as you are. 3. She won't tell anybody she saw you there, and you shouldn't either. Confidentiality is a really big deal in the BDSM community. You don't discuss who you saw at a Fetish Night, play party, or even at a semi-public gathering in a restaurant. If she outed you, she'd find that people in the BDSM scene wouldn't ever trust her again, she wouldn't get invited to parties, and so on. 4. You should probably sit down with her and negotiate some suitable boundaries so that this doesn't end up making your relationship at work awkward. Like: no playing with each other, no discussing BDSM while at work, re-emphasizing mutual confidentiality, etc. If either of you really feels weirded out about the whole thing, try to work out some mutually-agreeable schedule so you don't turn up at the same events, but that you both get the same fair chance at going to things.

I wonder what 'fully dressed up for it' means. It would be extra awkward if your boss wore a full-body latex suit, and you just a harness made from leather straps. Anyway, don't beat yourself up over it, that's her job.

Am I the only one who doesn't think this is that awkward? I mean, you were both basically doing the same thing, it's not like either of you are in any position to judge. Besides, she can't tell anybody about the encounter without starting it with "So I was at an S&M night..."
