Dating Your Boss - Page 3

"KABONG DAYCARE was my life. Now YOU are."

"Forever!"
*stuffs body in paper mache turkey*

Their song = The Hokey Pokey.

olol, Bob wants to make relations with unemployed young dudes, amirite?

This is one of the rare times I disagree with you, but no no no. Don't quit your job in order to ask her out, Kabong. First of all, you already know where my thoughts are on this - don't ask her out at all. There are other women out there. But... if you're bound and determined to do this, don't quit the job just to ask her out. Because if you're wondering if that's not seriously creepy? It is. "I did it! I quit my job for YOU! Oh... I'm sorry, you didn't realize I was hot for you, and that I thought this might become something problematic if we still worked together, because I know we're gonna get together? Yeah. So I figured quitting - for you, not for me - is the best way to cut to the chase. Hack the old Gordian knot right down the middle. Hey, where are you going?"
Yes. Yes, we are. And I'm older than all of you. *Muuuha haaaaa haaaa...*

The other thing I'll say that really just blows is this - normally, I don't have an issue with an age difference up to a point. But roughly 15 years is a kind of big jump. And it's one of those shitty things that someone alot younger is told all the time - "Oh, it won't be that much of an age difference when you're BOTH older, but right now it is." And I hate saying that, because I hated hearing it when I had the hots for a guy who was much older, but there you have it.

KABONG is GORT!!
I thought he'd been banned SEVERAL times!

NICE TRY GORT!!!

I'd ask for more details about your situation. You said you know that she's not married, but do you know her well enough to rule out other complications that could sour the deal (kids, other regular partners whose paths may intersect with yours, exes still in her life, sickly relatives for whom she's the caretaker, a reputation of workplace relationships, a reputation of breaking up badly, chronic bacterial vaginosis)?

In my experience, scratching the surface of most workplace attractions reveals a world of Shit I Want No Part Of.

I had a vision and it looked like this.

Do it, pussy. You won't be working there forever anyway.

Life is too short for all this discussion. Deep Star Six her Abyss before it's too late.

You're 23, single, in a job you have more as a 'job' than a 'career' and are out looking to score with hot sophisticated woman. That's pretty normal, when seen from your perspective.

On the other hand...

She is 15-ish years old than you. The odds that she's looking for a roll in the hay with a young buck who'll be moving on soon is greatly reduced by the idea that she'd want to have sex with someone who is:
- a co-worker
- her inferior (hello, sexual harassment)
- could seriously negatively impact what I presume is very much a 'career' for her (loss of this job, bad references, loss of reputation in the industry, social stigmatization from the parents... etc)

I'm quite sure neither of you is really looking for a long term thing here (and, honestly, if you are, the age and life-stage difference will really come into play).

If you want the hot older woman, go out and get it someplace else. Or, when the time is right for you both, and you've long since moved on to doing other things with your life job-wise, keep in contact with the staff there and develop something with her later. Much later.

Do it. Then when she fires you you can sue her like crazy and get a shit load of money. Then you'll never have to work again and can bang all the chicks you want in your big mansion. It's a win win situation for you.

Played backwards on a Fisher-Price Stereo - "No, no can't you hear the secret message, hon? Listen. 'Satan is love... Satan is love...'. See, baby? How much clearer can it be? It's gonna be OK, darling. IT'S GOING TO BE OKAY!!!!"

Lisa, my take on it is since this particular job isn't going to be long-term for him, he ought to get another job somewhere else and then quit this one, making it OK for him to ask his boss out, like Belethedheliel suggested. I do agree that if he decides to follow through as it stands now, he's not only risking fallout, but his boss is as well (legal and otherwise). My bad - I should've elaborated better in my earlier post. Before he does anything though, he better be damn sure that there IS something going on between him and his boss. Either way, addressing the situation with his boss ("Do you like me? Do you, y'know, 'LIKE ME' like me?" is going to make things a bit awkward at work from that point on.

As to the age difference - 15 years is quite a bit, but I've seen/heard worse (Knew a guy who married a girl 17 years older than him - still together 12 years later). Granted, it is a longshot, but it could work out (look at Demi and Ashton, Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins, Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones, etc.)

She's black?

Bumping so we can all appreciate this thread in an even creepier light. Reading it now is like watching Psycho for the second time.
Fabfunk is a compulsive liar, so I'm guessing this was like his version of an interactive Penthouse Forum letter.

I have a bad feeling that if I dug up the standing or sitting while wiping thread, Kabong and Fab would give different answers.

Let's just leave that thread in its 'legendary' status. There's really no need to dredge that one up.

With the new light on this thread, boy was I right on that one...

You guys realize that by drudging up every old thread KabFunk started we're making a martyr out of him. He's sitting at home jerking off into his keyboard as we pour over his old threads, pleased as punch that people are finally paying attention to him. The guy was just a pathetic, lonely deuche. Let's move on and not nail him to a net cross.

Go me for the zinger that previously ended the thread.
