. . .according to the original chronology, Kirk was the youngest person ever to command a starship. So, his very existence in the show has been consistent with him jumping over more experienced officers.

Secondly, Starfleet doesn't have regulations about love affairs as is evidenced, albeit nearly a century later, with Troi and Riker, who rekindled their affair when Riker was the executive officer of the ship.
