trust your instincts...if you feel it's more than a cultural thing, then it probably is....nobody can make you feel uncomfortable unless you ALLOW them to....so don't allow this man to kiss you....set some boundaries with him, or who knows what he'll try next

of course it's ok. but make sure he knows it's just a friendly dinner. you don't want to be back here asking how to tell a guy you just want to be friends... good luck!!!

Not at all. I would think him a very nice, polite, friendly, gentlemanly person. I wouldn't feel weird at all. I would appreciate the gesture. Even if it's his way of showing interest that's sweet and flattering too.

I don't see why she'd give him her phone number for getting a compliment on her shoes...... So, I'd say no.. this is a bad pick-up. I can't give advice on how to pick up someone because I'm a girl and I just don't do that kinda stuff. :P\n\nIf that was the case and I gave out numbers to everyone who complimented me, my number would be famous. LOL.

I think he is just being friendly.  I would just leave it alone.  Be friendly in return, but nothing more.  Anything else will create a messy or awkward situation at work.

Girl lessen to me don't ever get involves with a co worker that way if he really wants something good out of this he would be the one to come over and say something, you guys are flirting so if you ask him he is going to say yes. take my foolish advice do not ask him.

I'm happy with a "hello", kiss and hug when I get home\n\nmaybe, relax, and let her go out with the laides for a while

Personally, I don't like to shake hands with men....makes me feel like one of the guys.  I know in business you don't have the option but to shake hands.  I would suggest using your free hand to support either her elbow or forearm as you hold the "shaking" hand.  And, I wouldn't actually "shake" her hand...just hold it as you greet her.  I think that would be appropriate and respectfully acknowledge that she's a woman.... yet not too intimate to cause a problem. Most of us enjoy being  treated like women.  And, BTW....if you hold the door for me, not only will I smile but I'll also say thank you.

Seems like you two really hit it off quickly, so why not. \nIf your comfortable asking and she accepts, there shouldn't be a problem. Of course run it by your family first to see what they think.

Very tough situation, I have a few question before I can answer clearly your question. Has the company that you two are involved in currently in operation and generating revenue? Have you completely explain your feelings for her?  Most men do not speak clearly to women when explaining things like this? Ages of you and her? Education of both? I know this sounds very trivial, but this information will help give you good advise to move forward.\nFYI- Been there, done that.

I suppose one can cross the line. As long as both parties seem to be agreeable, what is the harm. If two people find themselves comfortable with each other enough to flirt, so be it.

Well I would say you two should really know each other and whether it is healthy only you know that answer. How do you feel about this????????????

It's on your mind enough for you to post a question here. So if you want to so much then yes, you have our encouragement. That way you will know for sure if he's ready for you or not. If he kisses you back then booya, otherwise at least you will no longer be guessing and can move on to your next target. :)

If you are in business together then I believe that you will be treated as equal partners in law (just because there's no written agreement it doesn't mean there isn't a legal partnership) and she would have as much right as you to make any business decisions.\n\nIf you think that she is acting against the interests of the partnership your best course of action would be to consult a soliciitor

If you've talked and both feel it's right, make the move. Sounds like you could be starting a beautiful family together.

well first off...there's no such thing called a polite way...you don't have to worry about that...as long as you are clearing a point that is making you UNCOMFORTABLE then it's totally OK...cause in the end you don't wanna have to deal with the same thing that is bothering you each day at work...right!!!\n\ntell her what you just wrote to us..."that you don't feel it's appropriate to discuss these matters with her"...see, I'm quoting you! there's nothing wrong with that...cause you are totally right..cause it is none of your business...you can tell her that you really feel uncomfortable and that you know she's a great person and that she would understand!\n\nbelieve me it might not be a big deal as it seems :) you are not being not nice...you are being diplomatic!
