Is this wrong?

I just ended a relationship for various reasons...Normally I do not jumnp back into the dating pool so quickly, but I've developed feelings for a new guy (who I will refer to as JOHN) whom I know through mutual acquaintances, and I believe JOHN likes me too. However, JOHN knows my ex (but they are only "acquaintances") and JOHN works at the same company where my ex's brother in-law works.

My question is, would dating JOHN be inappropriate/wrong given he works with my ex's brother-in-law? I fear JOHN will not want to date me given these circumstances and if that's the case, should I not even waste my time?

I'd understand if my ex and JOHN were good friends or something, but that is not the case so I don't see it as a legitimate reason for JOHN and I not to date. Maybe I am just being naive?? I'd love to hear points of view from both MEN and women, thank you.

What's not clear from your post is, has he actually ASKED you out?
