Well, this one kid and I have gotten really close, to the point where he admitted that he likes me and wants to date me. Awesome, because I like him too....However, I happen to be the boss's daughter.So, basically he's scared that my dad will like fire him if anything goes wrong in our relationship, and I'm saying no my dad would never do something like that. But the other thing is that even if my dad was okay with it (which I'm not sure yet if he is, I haven't asked), this boy says that he's not sure his mom would be comfortable with it. (His mom works with us too, she's my supervisor).Right now I don't know what to do. I want to talk to my dad about it to see if he'd be okay, but then I'm also scared to, like I feel embarrassed. Would me dating this kid be highly inappropriate based on the circumstances?Advice anyone? =\ Reply to this Question

I talked about it with my dad and he didn't have a problem with it, but after thinking it over I realize that I do. So I talked with the guy and we decided to just be friends for awhile.

 Dating within the workplace has a strong tendency to create problems all the way around. I see that you're young, yet I admire that you consider as to if this is appropriate.
Being familiar with family business, and the "snugness" that goes along with it, I'd keep things at just a friendship level.
Being the bosses daughter, you are on one hand, held to higher expectations, yet you also have certain advantages.
If things don't work out with the two of you, this could disrupt the entire workings of the business. I realize your question is about a relationship, rather than business, but in this case, I think you should put the business long ahead of this relationship.
I hope this helps.

 Talk to your dad im sure your parents wouldnt have a problem it would make things convient for them your father is going to kno exactly who this boy is and if anything goes wrong he can call your mother lol sounds like a good plan but i think you should take things slo because theese young relationships rarely last one fight and whooa nellie wouldnt that be awkward having to see this guy at work everyday maybe hes best left to the freind category its not like your going to marry this guy i understand you like him and all yah yah but puppies are cute to for awhile, so for the sake of your peace and workplace comfort just be freinds thats my verdict good luck
