What should I do about a girl where I am trying to get a better job at likes me....sounds simple enough, only problem is the boss is her father.
If she gets pissed off, I won't get the position, and if I return her affection then the boss might get pissed, also minimizing my chances of employment.
best thing for any relationship is start as friends..see how far the trust goe's and what kind of person she is..how she reacts to things before you get serious and stupid...lol
My friend, sounds like you ARE tween a rock and a hard place. If her Father is a WISE business man, he won't let his daughter influence his decisions when it comes to you and your performance and capability to do the job.
Good luck, I hope everything turns out the way you want it to.
throttle, Thats good an all, but If I tell her bout the friend thing, she aint gonna like that one bit, cause she is a kinda gung ho about the whole thing and will make up some stuff to pappy to make me look bad.
sounds like some needed communication. dating within the work place can cause a conflict of intrest, especially if daddy's the boss. sounds like ya need to have some words with him, tell him she's into you but you don't want to hurt her or your employment. if you're intrested in her, let him know, he'll find out someway, and it's best coming from you. decite could or will ruin your standing at your employment. be sensitive to her, but professional for you
Which means more at this point? Employment? And, why have a relationship with someone that will run to daddy if she gets miffed? And, is he the type that would let that cloud his judgement?
Sometimes work and love just do not go together...up to you...

i agree with yellow rose.a good buisnessman does whats best for the business regardless.I wonder why a woman who loves you would sabatoge you just because she gets a little angry.Even though i know a lot about my exes it was told in confidence and trust.i would never use it against them..
i once dated a guy i worked for when it came to work we left our personal relationship out side of the job we worked well together and it lasted for 2yrs
my advice is dont let the personal stuff get in the way of work i would sit down with her and talk to her and if she doesnt understand just maybe you should talk to her dad or find another job so things dont get ugly(sp)
well i agree she won't run to daddy about wanting a man but she may run to daddy and tell him a story
i think maybe the best thing to do if you like the girl is to go to the BOSS not daddy if you like her explain that you would like to date his daughter but do not want to do so with out his blessing
if you do not want to date her it gets a little tougher if she is writing to you i would take at least two letters that she has written and mail them to yourself in seperate envelopes and do not open them after you mail them then they will be date stamped to show him one of them if need be and save the other one for an unjustified dismissal if it comes to that
who knows maybe they are playing you to see if you will do the honorable thing ----- something to think about
you could explain to him if you do not want to date her thatyou think she is a wonderful girl but that thier just is no chemistry between the two of you and you do not want to mislead her and have her getting hurt emotionally down the road
if he is a loving father he will agree and if you are qualified for the job the integrity may move you ahead of the others in cosideration for the position
but what do i know
good luck in whatever way you chose to handle this
That's a rough one for sure! There's something about that, that is too close to home if you know what I mean? I don't know you and I don't mean to imply anything, but all I can say if you intend to work for her father and date her at the same time, I would be very careful to behave. I know those folks either, but one wrong move could result in disaster depending on how forgiving and understanding they are.
If they treat you like family, then you're in like flynn!

It seems as if I can't win for losing.
