    My boss's daughter decides to come to work since she is on summer break from university. Anyways, she visits the office a few times, and now decides to spend most of the day in my office. At first it was ok, b/c I tend to have large amounts of free time throughout the day, but then she started asking what I do in my free time, and that I should go to a ballgame with her, get a drink etc..

    She is a cute girl, but I think if I go out with her it may jeopardize my work. I don't want the boss being pissed if I go out with her. I said no, I'm busy-- a few times, and she called me a "nancy boy." My other co-workers are calling me "gay" for not going out with her. I'm also afraid this is just a summer fling for her as she will go back to school in a few months. She is 5 years younger than me.

    Here are some facts:

    I like my job.
    I like the boss's daughter.
    I like my boss.

    Is it ever proper to dip my pen in the company's inkwell?

    Well, technically she isn’t the company ink.. Could be fun, but I still wouldn’t do it.. Sounds like you could fall either way on this, but I don’t see how ONE date could be bad.. You could find out if she is crazy or not and get her out of your system..

    Good luck

    Er...depending on your relationship with your boss you might ask him....he probably would appreciate your candor.

    Or you could just be up front with the daughter and tell her you are afraid it will have a negative impact at work.

    Only if you like being unemployed......

    Seriously, you can do it, but it's like walking a tightrope without a net. I would be very careful, cuz if you piss her off, the first person she will run and cry to will be Daddy.

    Absolutely! If things go well, all of a sudden you have leverage on your boss. If you get fired, he can look forward to explaining it to his daughter. I foresee raises and promotions in your future.

    Since you like your job AND your boss, I wouldn't do it. Yea, you could go out with her and in the beginning, everything could be going great. But ask yourself what would happen if the two of you broke up after dating for awhile? Would you be prepared to face those consequences?

    I second the suggestion about talking to your boss. But you need to make it crystal clear that your interactions with him and his daughter outside of work are just that, and vice versa. You have to be able to separate business from pleasure, and so does your boss, and the girl for that matter. Kinda like that r****ded McDonald's commercial.

    OMG, dude, she might as well have swiped off all the stuff on your desk and yelled out, "F*ck me now, Lone Ranger!!"

    Hit it like a Brad Lidge slider in the playoffs...

    I would say, in this case, don't dip your pen in the company inkwell.

    I don't like the way she is acting. She sits around your office when you're supposed to be at work, not just a little but a lot, and pressures you to go out with her. She makes fun of you when you don't. That's 1) immature and 2) controlling. I don't care how hot she is. Behavior-wise, I don't think this is something you want.

    Just tell her that, for business reasons, you'd rather not. That you don't want to jeopardize things at work.

    If the boss is a decent guy, he will understand.

    I say take a chance. I figure I can always find another job but the chances of getting to hit it with the boss' daughter is pretty slim. How nice will it be that first day you go in after tagging it? He will so know and man will it be funny.

    no woman is worth losing your job over (especially if it's an actual career position). and i'm sure that when you lose your job, you'll lose the girl as well.

    LMAO. Wild understatement. If the boss is a decent guy, he will give you a raise for such restraint :)

    What's wrong with a summer fling, especially if she's hot and you did say you like her and it's obvious she likes you as well...it's not often that a girl hits on a guy...go for it

    Don't do it buddy. You got a good thing going in terms of work and I wouldn't even run the risk of messing that up. You know that the girl will be gone when school starts again, so there is no question that this is a fling. Play it safe and don't get involved with her.
