So I've been asked to take out a boss' (not my direct boss, but a senior manager at my office) cousin and show her around my city.

The girl is around my age (mid 20's) and she is coming in with some friends of hers - all girls. She also gave us both each others facebook info and phone numbers, but basically left it up to me to get in contact with very little background.

Has anyone been in this situation before? How did you handle it?

She seems like she parties and might be a little bit "easy", but I really do not want go too wild and do something I might regret for my jobs sake. At the same time I feel some pressure to take them out and show these girls a good time because there's a bunch of them coming in for a crazy weekend. Hopefully her friends are hot...

Arrange to meet a a bar and have a few drinks and then bail! Let them go wild and loco w/o you.
OR, man up and tell your boss that you are busy that day!!

Don't be rude. Drink your drink. But drink it quickly. Then say goodnight, go home, jerk off, and that's all you gonna do.

In this situation does he run the risk of getting **** if something bad goes down after he left? Like they run wild and end up getting lost in the city and wake up in some weird place because of it.

I would get in contact with her, and ask what her plans are for the weekend. I bet she has some thoughts about what she wants to do, at which point you can say that you can help them navigate around town. I would stay with them and make sure they do alright though.

If you end up sleeping with her, why would she tell your boss?

Send a fb message and introduce yourself and your mission. Ask what she likes. Take her out for a few hours - some classy stuff, dinner with drinks then a chill cocktail place. If she (or preferably her friend) wants to kick it with you then proceed to something rowdier/sexier. If not, give some suggestions for places to check out and be on your merry way.

This sounds like an unusual situation. Do you think your boss is trying to set you and her on a date?

I don't really know, but I doubt it seeing as this girl doesn't even live in my state. I think the boss just learned about her coming to town and figured that I'm around her age and could show her and her friends a good time.

To be honest, I don't really want to play host during my free time, but I was kind of caught off guard.. Boss asked if I would be in town and had any plans in two weeks and I didn't so I told the truth. I can tell this girl and her friends aren't the type of people I usually hang out with and I'm sure vice versa. I guess ill just make contact and play it by ear...
