wierd work relationship
There is this woman I having been working with for the past few months, she is my supervisor. At work she really annoys me because she thinks she's better than everyone at her job and talks shit behind everyone's back really bad. then she is super sweet to their faces. I have been going out with her once a weekend or so to the bars and maybe shopping..mostly we just party together. She calls me her "best friend" but i really do not feel the same way. Then I found out that she was "best friends" with the last two people that got fired off our crew. Some people having been telling me not to trust her...and now I am scared that one day she will turn on me and pretty much mess up my work life. Maybe I am just paranoid. Anyway, I feel bad living a lie because the way I hang out and stuff with her makes me as fake as her in a way. What can I do to avoid any conflict, and should I feel guilty of being her "friend" and do you think I have a risk of being an "ex-best friend" and get fired or miserable at work? thank you.

This is a serious business educate violation, not on your part, but hers. As your superior she should not have an outside relationship with you, it opens up all kinds of harassment possibilities. Even outside of work, she is still your boss and this effects everything you do. When she does something out of line and realizes it, that is when she will likely fire you to preserve her own job.
You are in a lose lose situation here. You try to stop this relationship and she will most likely fire you. You go above her head and she will fire you, eventually, or make you so miserable that you will quit. There are reasons why most businesses have non-fraternization rules in there employee hand books.
You can try to end your "friendship" and keep your job, but it is more likely she will fire you when you do. There are examples of this already I would guess.
Or, you can be smart, save yourself a lot of trouble and find another job. I would be curious to see if your best friend status remained after you moved on.
