Guy I Never Get to See
16/f. Normally I'm not the one asking these types of questions... but here we go.
My dad has a friend with a son who is a little bit older than I am (not sure how much exactly). He goes to a different school. Recently, he started a part-time job working for my dad. I used to hang out with him occasionally but haven't seen him in 8 years.
Today I saw him for the first time in a long time (didn't get a chance to talk), and he seems like a really great person that I would like to get to know. Besides that, my dad likes him. I work for my dad a little bit too, but not too terribly often. In other words, I never get to see this guy ever and because we haven't hung out in a really long time I feel like I don't know him that well, so it's not like I could randomly call him and say, "Hey, wanna hang out?"
I would love to be friends with him, and I don't know if it could be more than that (worth a shot), but the only way to get to see him is if my dad set us up. And how weird that would be.
This summer we might both be working full time up there, but I'm not sure yet. (We work in completely separate parts of my dad's business.) Summer is a long way away, though.
My question is: has anybody else had this problem? What do I do? I don't get nervous around guys or anything, but I'm never even around this guy!

Could you ask your dad to transfer you to your friends department? If that is a completely different department to what your currently working in, there could be some difficulties.
But at lunchtimes, could you sit with him and engage in a conversation with him and learn about him? It wouldn't exactly be saying "Hey, wanna hang out?" because you're gradually getting to know him and visa versa. Then when you're ready to hang out, then you'll know or he will ask.
When i started at my current Secondary School, i didn't know anybody except for this one guy in a year above me who blanked me and acted as if i wasn't there(and still does). What i had to do was to sit with other people and ask who they were and about themselves, and they introduced me to other people whom i got to know and made friends with. It's not the same situation, but you can see that talking to people can get you a long way.
Good luck with the future,
