Intern / associate friendships

I'm an intern at a fairly small PR firm where the the next youngest person is a 26 yr old associate and everyone else is 40+.

We get along so well that we've become friends outside the office but are hesitant to interact in the office in case someone misinterprets our friendship since he is male and I am female.

Does this at all look bad or are we over analyzing?
