The breakroom has been ruined for me

Jul 07, 2004 11:18

I've been avoiding the breakroom at work all morning because I'm afraid to run into this guy who I think asked me out yesterday. He wants to "take me to lunch". WTF? I was blindsided by this request so I just mumbled "um, sure" and he said he'd "call me". What does that mean? He's old and I think he's married. So is he just interested in ( Read more... )

I misread your posting the first time through. I thought you said "bathroom", not "breakroom".

Hah. The funny thing is that I've had to change which restroom I use. I can't use the one in the back anymore b/c that's near where he sits. Yikes.

There's an older guy at my job (old enough to have kids older than me) who suggested we have lunch when I first started at my job. I was noncommital and then avoided him. I ran into him a few weeks later and he was like, "So, what do you do after work?" I told him I go to the gym. He said, "Oh, well you should take me to the gym with you sometime." I looked at him baffled and said, "um, okay, yeah, um.." and just walked away.

Now he just says hi to me and comments on how he thinks I'm one of those people who always eats healthy. Ugh.

He caught me off guard...

And my first reaction was that he must just be making a friendly overture. But the more I thought about it after the fact, the more date-ish is sounds. So, if I do get stuck doing lunch, the plan is to drag my boss and coworkers with me so it'll be a group thing and then one of them will drop the bomb that I have a serious boyfriend. So, one wasted lunch and no one has to have hurt feelings or make awkward assumptions.

oooh...guys just love it when girls just casually slip into conversation 'the serious boyfriend.'
"oh, you're into rock-climbing? so is MY BOYFRIEND!" shot down....

I cured all with a wedding band. No wedding, just the band. If you use this solution (and I highly reccommend it), you must remember to take it off when visiting family, especially if they are nosy and ask direct questions or believe there is such a thing as "living in sin".

That's funny! A very good idea though.
