should a I deal with a business partner who.....?

Maybe she's looking for more than a "business" partner, if you know what I mean.

...and, if you lighten up, maybe you can have allot of fun while you make your money at that job, could be interesting!

He is your business partner...and although I don't know what type of business, you could potentially be spending a lot of time with this person. He/she may want to know if you want to be done with work at a certain time, or if you can work all night; they may want to know how many times a week you might go out and party, and possibly come into work late the next day, those types of things. In other words, they want to find out how much time and energy you are willing to put into the job.

But for this interview, you don't have to reveal much. You can just make it easy and say Yes I like my single life although I do not mix it with my professional life. My professional life and career is very important to me....blah blah blah.....give them the impression you'll get the job done!

If you fear she is lusting after you tell her one of the following

1. You made a celibacy vow after you contracted an STD at a party 5 years ago and you've never been happier or less complicated.

2.You miss dearly your Girlfriend who had to move to Australia for her modeling career

3. Your Boyfriend Derek has issues "coming out" to his family.

Perhaps she was worried you might come on to her and was trying to sus out the situation, she may have had bad luck with single men before because they meet ladies and want to move and sell off the partnership.

Just some alternatives.

wait till yo meet her again, if she acts overtly suggestive run, you don't need to get involved with a business partner like that.

If they are your business partner, why are they interviewing you? If it is a job you are applying for, those types of questions are illegal.

I'm not quite understanding what is going on when these questions are coming up. It would be helpful to know a general idea of what you are being asked and what the situation is at the time of the question.

"That is neither appropriate nor legal. This interview is over. I expect to be called for a second interview by someone else, and I will be filing a grievance with the State if that does not happen."

I like the first answer. It is not offensive or anything.

Maybe she likes you and wants to get to know. Just try to be friendly and smile a lot, keep it casual.

Ask her why she needs to know these personal things?

"I'm a very private person. My personal life is pretty boring."
