Ethical to date a customer's daughter? - Page 2

As a step-father of a 27 year old, I would be against her going out with a 44 year old guy. I tried to teach my step children not to date anyone that they couldn't see spending the rest of their life with - of course, that hasn't happened...

More on the age thing - you've had a lot of different life experiences than she has - that could be an issue down the road. My wife was married to someone 21 years her senior and it caused issues being from different generations.

Now, if I were a single 44 year old guy and an attractive 27 year old girl was showing interest in me, I think I would ask her to dinner and see how things go.

Good luck!

Just don't do like I did and get someone that is a backstabber, there was warning signs in front of my face but... I ended up losing my house and costing me 5Gs in lawyer fees in which I had to sue her &$# for 50 thousand Gs. I was homeless for a while, good to have friends.
Anyway be honest, give it time, go slow at first, there is plenty of fish in the sea.

Here's my take:

I *would* be prepared to lose the business *if* things go bad.

I would not call her using the number that her Dad gave you. That automatically gives her the upperhand, I would try to work a way around that. Try to say something along the lines of "have you been to (place X) yet? My friends and I go there quite a bit." Obviously being new to town she hasn't, use that to your advantage with "you should stop by Saturday, my friends and I will be there." If she is interested the conversation and idea of you two meeting up *will* happen. There are a million ways to go about, but I would not call her with only her Dad giving you the number.

Just my take, good luck--well, luck is never a factor if you have confidence in your pimpin.

Scott... go for it.

You are both adults, and it's nobody's business who dates who.

Over 21, age is just a number, IMO...and does not denote a certain maturity level.

The big thing is that you "clicked". My girlfriend and I, when we met, were totally not looking for anything other than a hookup. Now, almost 3 years down the road, we don't know how we didn't meet sooner.

I would say "go for it", no question.

About the smoking thing, deal with it for now. Yes, you have to like her for her, but you don't know the story behind it. Who knows, maybe she has just cut back and is trying to quit! Minor detail, IMO, unless you are allergic.

Uh yeah, like that is going to happen! Besides, if I did you guys would keep coming back to this thread to look at the pics and never get any work done. I just couldn't do that to y'all.

She is seriously good looking.

Really, the main issue for me right now is the smoking. Like I said, she doesn't appear to be a chain smoker and she seems aware I don't smoke because the second and third time we got to talking, she didn't light up at all.

My kids know her younger sister and thought I should have gone out with her when her boyfriend left her so I know they don't care about how old the women I date are.

the only reason I'd say no is the smoking issue. Otherwise it is your call. Go slow. IN EVERY RELATIONSHIP the beginning is not what you want to base things on. We are all on our best behaviour. Ask her to not smoke around you. Lets see how addicted she is.

Giggidy! Go for it!

I'm surprised how many people feel so strongly about smoking. I'm the same way. I'm hard pressed to think of a more disgusting habit. The smell and the cost just make it even worse.

Occasional doesn't really bother me. Every once and a while (once a month, if that), I'll light up one if I'm partying hard. I smoked for about a year a few years back, but cut back to very seldom social (drinking) smoking.
