alphamale Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 So how do you suggest I reject the owner. Because that is what it boils down to. I will be rejecting him. you must get a new job...thats the only way. He is the owner and has total control. If you reject him he will make your working life a nightmare.

VandGsMom Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 (and remember not to bend over the counter in front of him when you tell him)... ewww :) Link to post Share on other sites
Author P1xie Posted December 2, 2006 Author Share Posted December 2, 2006 I will try that Riddler. I just hope it doesn't make for a uncomfortable work enviroment. I do feel for him because he is hurting. He is freshly divorced after 20 years. This is the first holidays without his wife etc. I'm sure you've been through it too. I'm blessed because even without a man right now I have a wonderful supportive family that makes life worth living...beyond living. Link to post Share on other sites

As long as you don't let it bother you, then you'll be fine. You can also tell him that you just got out of a LT relationship and you are not ready for any type of dating.

Quinch Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 He can't make you do anything that's not in your job description so just tell him you're not interested. If he makes things difficult then you can sue him. Link to post Share on other sites

typical Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 so just tell him you're not interested. I think she might be somewhat, though: I am attracted to him. Maybe he can tell and that is why he is making little advances. Pixie, if you must lie, just tell him you are dating a really nice guy right now who might not like you meeting the boss out for drinks. End of conversation. Or, you can try the indirect approach and bring up this "invented" boyfriend casually througout the day..ie, "Oh, you know, Max says that lima beans are actually good for phlegm"...If he is that interested or curious, you know he is going to ask you who Max is...this strategy allows you to interchange levels with your boss, should you decide to change your mind. This method has saved me from being flat out rude borderline vicious on various occasions...Which I so love to do. Link to post Share on other sites

Art_Critic Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 see PIXIE...just the fact that you're posting this leads me to believe you're entertaining the possiblity of mixing business and pleasure. otherwise if it wasn't an issue you would have never posted this I agree with Alpha... If you were not thinking about it you would be clear to him..I mean women always know how to get rid of a guy.. it is born and bred into you. If you aren't interested in him then tell him that you don't want to give him the wrong idea and you need to keep it professional and not mix business and home life Link to post Share on other sites
JCD Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Tell him that you don't have feelings for him and become professional ie. cold and distant. He needs to get your message loud and clear and not receive mixed signals. Don't offer him a friendship because he most likely won't be able to handle it. If all this fails then get another job but be aware that the same thing could happen again. Not much you can do but to act in a business manner and hope for the best.

WTF Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 I want to go to work, do my job, get paid and go home. Tell him to back off.......in a nice way. If you partake in any of his out of office activites, he'll think hes got a new squeeze. And you thought it would be weird before. Link to post Share on other sites
