Dating is not illegal but it puts the boss and the organization in a very risky place, one in which laws can be broken. Sexual harassment is illegal and it comes in many forms. If employment decisions (termination, raises, transfers, etc.) are based in part or in whole on sexual favors then the law has been broken. The problem is that when a boss is dating an employee it becomes incredibly difficult to make any employment decision that won't be tainted as being influenced by the relationship. For example, when the relationship ends how will the employee react if they get a poor performance evaluation? Often the employee will believe poor performance ratings were based on the relationship ending; this leads to legal action; courts are very unsympathetic to employers that tolerate supervisor/employee relationships; employers tend to settle or spend a lot of money defending themselves; hence most employers have policies to prevent supervisor/employee dating and parallel policies that fight sexual harassment.
Some industries have more sexual harassment than others. The real factor is often the culture of the organization, not the industry. So before your take a job, ask around at the organization.

Sure it happens everywhere. The problem is with the sexual harassment laws now, the boss could find herself (or himself) in a lawsuit. It's not a good idea.

Bosses dating employees does happen. It is not a good situation and could cause serious problems later. Especially when it comes to promotions and dismissals.

In most businesses, it is against office policy.

No, but it's probably against policy.
