skydivebeauty 0 #1 July 22, 2013 I work as the manifest chick at my dz, and there is this guy (he is the son of the owner) who I really like. Apart from being good looking he is really sweet and friendly towards me. Should I let this go any further? Is having a relationship at the dz a good idea? anyone else been in this position? I really really like him. . . PS: he is my age Thanks x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cube 0 #2 July 22, 2013 It sucks when ex's start to pile up at the dz. :D Depends on the person and how one can manage being in contact with one's ex often. Probably a bad idea if you work there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frankpilot 0 #3 July 22, 2013 Unless he is 16yrs old, or you work in Dubai... :-) why not, but tell him the difference between bribes, rewards and gifts. He might also benefit from some reflection on his role as instructor, son of the owner and horny teenager. Trying to buy you with the oldest trick in the book? Do you need help or do you want to be perceived as weak and helpless? I`m married to a skydiving woman that is my equal in many respects, or we supplement each oher. If you really like him, have him trat you and consider you as an equal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you're old enough to make decisions about your life and skydiving, you SHOULD be old enough to make boyfriend choices You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS!

I know I am old enough to make my own decisions, and I do, but I have never been in this situation before and I am hoping someone might have some good advice.

devildog 0 #8 July 22, 2013 The only question I'd think you'd want to think about is do you want a potential ex to be your current boss's son. May or may not matter.You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DHemer 0 #11 July 22, 2013 Reminds me of my DZ The manifest chick and one of the owners are now a couple with a kid He still owes beers for "knocking up the manifest chick" :p On a serious note though, as long as you can remain professional while doing manifest, keep up the same standard of work, why not. No one wants the operation to suffer because 2 teenages are off behind the hanger making out Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

swisschris62 0 #15 July 22, 2013 I'm sure your right...you do know how to make decisions. You also know deep down inside that this probably isn't a good idea. Your just looking for the answer you want to hear which is, go for it, it must be true love, you should definitely date this guy.... Realistically this probably isn't a good idea. If you just gotta do it, maybe you should just consider keeping it extremely casual and just offer yourself up as a toy ( which hopefully the romp is equally pleasurable for you ). To commit to a full blown relationship where all kinds of "feelings" develop surely wouldn't end well, when and if it ends. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Avikus 0 #17 July 22, 2013 Personal thought? HELL NO!!!! I won't even look at my home DZ girls! They are asexual beings! The least attachment you get to the DZ! The least drama will come from it! The more fun you will have at the DZ (or at work in your case). I know, I know! There is exception ... but 90% of the cases doesn't work and 50% of those turns ugly... fast! I already know my fare share of people that disappear from DZs because of couple drama! Do yourself a favor ... keep skydiving and work and relationship separate.Avikus - Packer and Jumper - Hate landing with the plane! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am hard pressed to think of a more crude way of putting things... maybe "make yourself available for the pleasure of the DZ men"?

DougH 270 #20 July 22, 2013 Do you like the DZ? Do you like the dynamic that you currently have with the your friends that are staff and fun jumpers? Do you want to screw all of that up? Your 19 years old, how many relationships do 19+ year olds go through before they finally settle down? A lot normally! The odds are that anything you kick off with the guy won't be a long lasting thing. If you break up with someone you knew from town, or from HS, from your college classes you can get away from them. If you break up with this guy or have drama you will see him every time you are at the DZ.
