If they were an ex-student, then I guess, but I don't see how you could carry on a relationship with them.

When I was a TA, I had plenty of opportunities. I never crossed the line. A buddy of mine, though, was both a TA and a bartender. His students and ex-students came into his establishment constantly... and he constantly took them home (I'm actually not sure if he did any current students; he might have had some standard)
It's even more difficult for TAs because it's usually 22-23year old guys and 18-20 year old girls. That's not much difference in age. It's just, as you said, all about the power relationship.
