Moody makes time for every potential threat and for the occasional artifact hunt. You can argue it’s not one of his priorities, but he’s not exactly pressed for time should he so wish.
A much bigger problem is the inevitable distraction. He can have time-turned selves and possibly allies watching his back, his currently active enemies, and Quirrell’s potential plots, but so can Quirrell. And there are probably more dark wizards who would benefit from Moody being distracted than the reverse. And is Moody even an Animagus? If not, or depending on his form, that’s another advantage for Quirrell.
They could take an Unbreakable vow to abstain from shenanigans while on dates, but that’s way too big a constraint for either to accept, doesn’t stop third parties, and is probably full of loopholes.
Sexual tension based on how fascinatingly brilliant each person is at trying to kill the other is rarely conducive to trust and healthy relationships. People are notoriously more tolerant of fucked up relationship dynamics under stressful conditions; a battle to the death with the world at stake would qualify.

An Unbreakable vow requires one party to sacrifice the possibility of freely trusting the other party. That’s not a healthy relationship.
