    Creepy or not?

    Nataly replied to skymama's topic in The Bonfire

    In which case he doesn't deserve to be called creepy. Talk about it with him face to face. I agree, but my point was that it's likely that he actually does realise he has crossed the line... ETA: Either way, you're right - worth talking to him about it.

    I started a new job in March, and every month there is an "away day" for everyone in Finance (some 400+ employees). The last "away day" was in mid June... Today I got an email from someone I apparently met on said away day. I don't remember the guy, but he asked me for a coffee so we could continue our "riveting" conversation we had started at the "away day".. WTF?? He was *totally* flirting. I said no. Apart from being SOMEONE FROM WORK (even though I can't remember who the hell he is), I have a reputation to maintain as the bitchy Canadian, so I can't be socialising with the little people and going on "coffee dates" with them now can I? Sheesh! Flirting at work.. Hmm.. Just seems stupid to me.. What does everyone else think?

    Normally our instincts are right.. If it feels creepy to you, it's probably because he's being creepy! He may not realise he has crossed the line, but chances are he's pushing his luck.. Creepy.

    There are "better" ways of doing it, but I thought I'd keep it simple... I'm assuming whoever would ask this kind of question would want to just copy/paste formulas down.. And it will work in 2011 without any changes

    Clearly you have never dealt with debt collectors.. They harassed a friend of mine until he just about lost his mind - they once even came in and started grabbing some of his stuff trying to repossess his assets!! And they weren't even after him! According to my friend they were pretty aggressive and wouldn't leave him alone - he eventually moved apartments.

    I can't say I'm surprised you had a lovely weekend... The BEST holiday I've ever had was *just* before my long-term boyfriend and I split. I think on some level we knew it was over, so didn't want to ruin the trip.. I'm so sorry to hear things didn't work out, but I do think if you're spending all your time doubting something instead of enjoying it.. Well.. It's not good.. As long as you have followed your gut, it's likely you've done the right thing. It will hurt less in time..

    What's wrong with that??! Seriously.. If a guy uses coupons - great. I prefer a home-cooked meal anyway, but nothing wrong with coupons - even on a first date. The main thing that's important is whether you like the guy!! SO, my place, say 7pm? OMG - is it coupon-clipping night??!!!

    Awesome career choice, girl! I compensate for it by drinking too much But seriously... It's not a "fun" choice, but it's something I can do anywhere and it pays the bills. All in all, I really shouldn't complain. "There is no problem so bad you can't make it worse." - Chris Hadfield « Sors le martinet et flagelle toi indigne contrôleuse de gestion. » - my boss

    Sometimes it's better not to date people at your home dz. Or at a major dz that you liked to go to and was convienant while you were home visiting friends/family Sounds like you're speaking from experience!!

    Not dissing the techniques - most of which a just plain common sense - but playing games on a date usually doesn't work. "There is no problem so bad you can't make it worse." - Chris Hadfield « Sors le martinet et flagelle toi indigne contrôleuse de gestion. » - my boss

    ie: "starter" Fuck, I cant pronounce that! Heh heh.. Looks like the computer doesn't recognise the funny symbols!!! But yeah, if you meant the main, that changes things slightly.. Still, the problem isn't that he paid a lot.. The problem is that he seems to have had expectations as to what that meal would get him.. (Despite his protesting, it sounds like he actually was expecting some nookie..) My view is: by all means give him a second chance, but those are some serious red flags..

    Um, excuse me?? I live in London, which is supposed to be one of the most expensive cities in the world and there is NO WAY IN HELL I would pay $18 bucks on a starter. That *is* a lot of money. I agree $18 is a lot for a starter, but my entree was $18. My starter was a salad, only a few dollars. I'm guessing my share of the tab was around $25, including my iced tea. ie: "starter" "There is no problem so bad you can't make it worse." - Chris Hadfield « Sors le martinet et flagelle toi indigne contrôleuse de gestion. » - my boss

Do ya atleast park the car after the drive thru? Well, I did once take a date to the OXO tower, and that cost like £200, but it was a BIG occasion (for me), and I invited him, so I paid. But I do think $18 for a starter, for a first date.. Well, that's a lot to invest in a stranger.

    Okay, the women may flame me for this, but I say never spend a lot of money of the first date. Casual dinner, maybe a movie, but you're setting the bar, and expectations, too high. The first date is a "get to know ya" time, not the Senior Prom. Keep it light and easy.
