long time before now, I thought about that, then started a discussion about this scenario to see how she would react, it was a positive response, gave me more hope

pocohantas:
Depends on the kind of surbodinate.

I have subordinates who are older than me, educated, well-spoken and only report to me because of the terms of our employment. I can go on a date with such.

However, I would never date a colleague. Two of my colleagues dated and brokeup. They are currently making the unit uncomfortable for us. Office romance? Count me out.

If you are ready to deal with whatever comes out of it, you can give it a shot.

Please, you can send me your company's address so I can submit my CV. Depression of unemployment can reset someone's faculty of reasoning.

I cannot understand why a woman should be rude, a yes/no is not too hard a reply. If you are very sure you like her, go ahead, but if you want a mere fling or casual friendship, keep off.

JasonScoolari:
Well, what I noticed about her is that she's always happy when I am around herand she doesn't mind what other people think or say when she cracks some naughty jokes with me.... Sometimes, I feel uncomfortable and most times she feel relaxed sharing some personal stuff with me.

I remember settling some issues she had with her boyfriend last year and advise her to get naughty with him, but instead, she got all naughty with me indirectly...

This same lady gift me a phone as a birthday present and have been so helpful when I was broke... She's two years older but she sees me as her senior.

SURElee:



Ask her out to a Val date, but don't say you can be her "back up" plan biko. Don't downgrade yourself and it will. Make you seem like you want to play with her emotions and using the term "back up", make you seem not serious.

Just ask her out, enjoy the time together, talk about things and see how things pan out from there.

Some of us saw a thread which a lady of 38 created about a month or few weeks ago. She said she is a boss or manager, I cannot recall exactly. She said people call her Madam, and everyone respects her, yet behind all the money and job status, was a lonely woman searching for love. She created the thread to search for the man of her dreams. I know some women are okay being single, but not all are. In my personal opinion, I don't see anything wrong with it. I have seen a comment above, where a guy says he shot his shot to a far richer lady and they are currently happy together. However since you got no feelings for her, maintain the platonic friendship.

iphi:
the thing is I have already sent the message, she has not read it oooo... My mind is doing me gbim! gbim!! gbim!!!

iphi:
she's young, I'm not asking her out, its just to jokingly tell her about being a second option

budaatum:
Can somone please find this person one of the many threads of those who complimented their boss on whatsapp and had to start looking for another job.

A305:
Dude, If you ready for a relationship. Give it a shot with her but otherwise, let her be -- You can never date her and break up with her unless of course you ready to lose your job.

No games around her, Either you will be commited with her or you back to the drawing board preparing your CV after breaking up with her. But think of the reply you will give when you are asked "why did you leave your previous job?"

I dated and broke up with my boss lol.

Whobedatte:
Just few months ago , my project lead told me to sack a brand promoter working under me , though she didn't give any reasons .
I called the guy in question to know what exactly his offense was , he told me he chatted her after close of activation asking her if he could take her out .
Mind you , this guy is a graduate , a hardworking promoter and always diligent at work .
I removed him from the group immediately going by her orders and told him to go .
Cut long story short , boundaries should be set in work place .
Never ask your superior out as a guy unless she reverse is the case

My boss posted on her WhatsApp story "Who will be my Val" and other series of messages concerning taking her out for Val.

I'm older than her and she respects me, deep down I really like her, I don't know if I should ask her playfully, we chat a lot. I tease her a little bit when she posts a picture that is not fine and we laugh over it.

I want to tell her if she is unsuccessful in her search for a date I can be her back up plan. I don't know if it's a good idea to tell her that. I need honest and matured opinions please.

Omoapena:

Don’t ask her directly,
Just reply to same status that you are in same shoe and you so wish to have a Val date.
Her reply would tell if you should go on and ask her out...
