Who should make the first move if there is definitely flirting going on? The employee or customer?

If you are employed by someone, they usually have a policy about this.
In general most bosses don't want you to mix their business with your hormones. So if you must, then quickly figure out a way to continue the flirting at another location.
Now, if you are self-employed, it becomes stickier, but it's really up to you....
...UNLESS, you are in a PROFESSIONAL field (Doctor, Lawyer, Nurse, Massage Therapist, etc)
In these cases, universal ethics teach that you should not blur the appropriate boundaries between professional and client.
What you do then is to end the professional/client relationship, and make a point of not seeing each other for SIX MONTHS at least.
Then, when there is distance between your professional relationship, if you both want to give it a try, most ethicists say go for it.
Hope this helps.

It's a toss up. It looked upon as inappropriate, yet it is a common occurrence. I have dated customers in the past and have regretted it-the last customer who also happened to be an employee- I dated; we've been together for the past two years. It's a risk, like anything else.

If you like the guy I see no problem with the employee making the move. An employee has to be professional on the job, but you are only human. If you have a strong urge to date him, by all means make your move!

However you feel it in your heart.. Awwww.. doesn't that sound sweet :) anyway. If it is against some sort of work rules, if your the employee, just make sure anyone else isn't around. Paranoia sucks because other customers may tell, but whatever. blah blah blah make sure your co-workers are cool or something. work really isn't going on you know when you and your little friend are there.
