Dating a client ethics

Is it OK to date a client or vendor?

But a therapist dating their clients is unethical and, in many states, against the law. If you develop a crush on your therapist, acknowledge your feelings and talk them over with your therapist. They can help you better understand the reasons why you feel the way you do. Your counselor should never flirt with you, meet with you for coffee or a drink, or expect you to have physical contact with them. If they do, you have the right to end therapy and take action against them. The relationship is built on trust and a certain degree of emotional intimacy.
