    How do I...

    So at work today I the youngest employee who is 15 told me she liked me. I wasn't sure what to say but fortunately a customer started to complain so I had to go take care of that before I could respond to her and I kept myself busy for the rest of the evening until she left. I want to let her down gently cause she is a sweet girl and I was wondering how best to do that.

    Explain to her that dating coworkers is a disastrously bad idea and tell her you'll have to remain friends. Then avoid her, because it's impossible to be friends with someone that has a huge crush on you.

    I don't know if that would work, Giga. A 15 year old girl might just be flaky enough to quit her job in response!

    Mrk, I assume from your username that you are 28, right? I would just tell her that you're flattered by her interest but you are in a relationship and you are way too old for her anyway.

    This is the same girl he talked about in his "Confused" thread. He's almost 21.

    Honestly, that's all you need to say to her... tell her that you're too old for her and that it won't work.

    how about telling her that it's not legal for him to date her, and she needs to find someone under 18, while he is only interested in girls over 18?

    Yeah... just walk up to her and say, "Criminals in jail don't like rapists."

    That’s kinda cool! That makes me smile and I actually feel quite large at the end of that.

    The problem with that is she's a coworker and in his other thread he mentioned that he was interested in two other coworkers who were both 17. He can't use the excuse that he doesn't date coworkers or that he only dates people over 18. He just needs to say he's not interested in her.

    Tell her to call you when she's 18

    Thanks everyone. I just needed some help trying to figure out how to tell her its not going to happen without coming across as an asshole cause I know how it can hurt being rejected.

    So hows something like this
    Your a really sweet girl but I'm just too old for you. You need to find someone closer to your age that is going to be able to do the same things you do and that you have more things in common with.
