As someone who works in HR, I absolutely cringe every time I see the title of this thread.

Hypocritical, I know, since I met my wife at work. But we were also just kids, not working in a professional environment.

It's too bad we don't have Ime Udoka on this board for his input, though surely there's more to that story than just co-worker.

Udoka was banging a VPs wife apparently?

Is it strange to be excited that after 20+ years on this board (though admittedly mostly absent for the past dozen years), to FINALLY have Jim quote one of my posts?

So two things of note happened this week.

My boss interviewed a person for a new rumored position of HR manager who is suppose to implement some new policies. He only interviews front office people so we know she's not a production worker (that and the way she dressed). And I don't know if she's single yet. So Barbara better stop waffling.

Second thing is that my walk had it's biggest turnout yet with 9 people showing up. Part of the meetup was going to a local bar for drinks and 6 people stayed. One of the women who stayed (let's call her Amber) asked me for my number and asked if we could go on a one-on-one walk tomorrow. Honestly I was kind of shocked because although I did talk with her most of the walk, and while the conversation while good it wasn't exactly electrifying. But of course I said yes.

Flasch186 · 09-24-2022, 01:42 PM

The correct answer

I like her intention and willing to take a risk

NobodyHere · 09-24-2022, 07:51 PM

One thing that Amber did mention to me is that the Trumper tried to ask her out on a previous meetup but she turned him down.

NobodyHere · 09-30-2022, 08:45 PM

To give an update:

I'm told my boss didn't hire the HR person because she lacked the qualifications he was looking for in the position. So I'm free to hit on my coworker if necessary.

I did a workout with Amber (which consisted of a 30 minute workout on an elliptical) and it went well and I'm expecting more workout days in the future. She asked to me to go to a movie and dinner tomorrow which I agreed to. So expect a review of Bullet Train tomorrow.

With that said, I'm kind of 50/50 on her intentions. Half of me thinks she really into me, while the other half thinks she just wants a workout buddy and social wingman. I'll take either one as I really like her but I'm not "gaga" yet.

By the way, do you all prefer a dinner and a movie, or a movie and a dinner?
I know that former is traditional but it seems harder to time a movie than a dinner. Plus if you see the movie first then it is great conversational piece at dinner.

It's up to you, if I'm reading this correctly. She is making this easy.

If you're not gaga, either you should avoid singing about Alejandro or you should friend zone her. Men rarely discover an attraction if they don't have it right away. And if you're not strongly attracted now and start something up, it's not fair to her.

Who is Alejandro?

Edward64 · 09-30-2022, 09:42 PM

I would do movie then dinner. Like you say, a good conversation piece.

Don't know your definition of "gaga" but if there is some attraction, I'd encourage it and see where this leads. I don't really believe in love (vs lust) at first sight, and believe relationships take time to develop.

Be sure to think up of how to end the dinner - whose paying, "want to do X next weekend" etc.

I thought this was the 2020s where people pay their own share.

I'll offer to pay and see what she says.

NobodyHere · 09-30-2022, 10:03 PM

Also I feel I am close to dragging Barabara out on one of these walks. Even if I don't date her I think it would be good for her.

NobodyHere · 09-30-2022, 10:25 PM

Ugh, just got asked by a guy that I assume is in wheelchair to join us on our "walk" this week. I had to turn him down because this weeks chosen walk isn't wheelchair friendly.

Next week I can accommodate him on a paved route.

Movie then dinner, so if the conversation is going well, you can linger and aren't under time pressure.

Also, she's in to you - the key is mentioning Trumper asked her out and she said no. If she wasn't interested beyond a platonic thing, she wouldn't have brought that up

Lathum · 10-02-2022, 08:44 AM

I read that "linger" with an "f" instead of a "L" and thought you were expecting that date to go really well.

I didn't even think about this point but it could very well be true.

Anyways yes, she is into me. We saw the movie (which I paid for) and had dinner (which I offered to pay for but we paid for our own meals). We did smooch after we left the resteraunt.

This morning at our walk (which had a record turnout of about 15 people) we held hands during 80% which we both would like to think made the Trumper insanely jealous.

This week we're doing our weekly workout and I invited her over to my place on Saturday.

Congrats!

A key win for FOFC

NobodyHere · 10-02-2022, 01:10 PM

Amber also told me that the Trumper was also banned from another meetup group because he would try to hit on women and not take "no" for an answer.

The Trumper has been spamming a "Strength Training" meetup for pretty much every other day for the next month. Maybe schedule one or two to see if people are interested?

ETA: But no seriously he posted 18 events for the next month. I'm not sure if this is his intent but I'm worried that his spamming might prevent people from finding my weekly walk which I have grown quite fond of.

Heck's he's still spamming them.

NobodyHere · 10-02-2022, 05:27 PM

I asked the Trumper why he was scheduling so many events and this was his response.

NobodyHere · 10-02-2022, 05:31 PM

He's not exactly wrong but at least gauge interest before spamming the group with 20+ events.

Flasch186 · 10-02-2022, 08:22 PM

I wouldn’t sweat it

People into strength training will go to that and people that don’t want that will come to yours

It really doesn’t matter

Ignore him and you do you boo

I'm mostly concerned that people won't be able to find legitimate events (such as my walks) amidst all his spam.

Did anyone watch that Dahmer movie that starred Hawkeye in the title role?

The actual documentary-style Dahmer stream is coming to Netflix on Friday (the Dahmer Tapes). I'll watch that. Not really interested in fictionalized history.

sabotai · 10-05-2022, 06:51 PM

The Dahmer Tapes will be an instant watch for me. The Dahmer show, maybe I'll get to it when there's nothing else to watch.
