Is there any way to avoid the possible repurcussions of asking a customer of mine out?

Question

I really want to ask this hot girl out, but I dont want to lose my job. I run a furniture store and she came in today to buy from me, but is still undecided.She gave me her # in case I can find what she is looking for at the price she wants. How can I get around the possible side effects of asking her out? I need a definite legal answer

Answer 1

"I need a definite legal answer" ....

You are going to be waiting a long time. Since she gave you her number at your job site, it will be a risk.

You could get fired just because your boss has already asked her out and she said no. You might get your job back, after the lengthy and expensive law suit you would have to fight.

She might tell your boss that his company lost a sale because you hit on her. Now you have cost your employer money.

On the other hand, she might say yes and your boss would never have to know how you hooked up.

So you see, she is in the drivers seat already. Women!!

If you do hit on her, and I'm not suggesting that you do, don't do it on the phone using the number she gave you at work and invade her home space. Wait till the next time you see her and politely ask her out for coffee. Whether she bites or not, she'll be flattered and probably won't retaliate. She'll save all that for the break up.

Understand, it is a risk.

Salesmen hit on my old girlfriend all the time and she usually bought from them. She would use the "flirt" to get a better deal.

Answer 2

the way to avoid any repurcussions is, don't ask her out. FYI, there are no legal issues with asking out a customer. the issue arises when she doesn't find you as hot as you apparently find her, and claims that you used a # she gave you for business for your own purposes, or that you are sexually harassing her, or so on. life is full of risk - ask yourself if she is worth it.

Answer 3

There aren't any legal ramifications, just moral ones.
If you own the store, you can do whatever you want. If you're just the manager, you'll have to ask permission from the owner and they will probably say no.
