No I don't feel comfortable about it. He's a nice guy but I don't want to go out with him or just be friends. It seems like the "just friends" thing is usually one person still interested in the other.

good for you, missy. you made your choice. go with it. if you don't feel comfortable, there is a reason for it.
you'll meet a guy when you aren't looking.
i met hubby when he was butt-ugly and had been under a corvette for 3 days and needed a civilian dentist after retiring from the air force. he cleaned up good! :)

OMG I forgot how traumatic dating can be. Getting scared LOL. Seriously SBG had it so right... be yourself. And if you like men, it is so easy. You're not in high school anymore. You'll likely find love when you are least looking for it. And having a whole lot of friends doesn't suck either.

Flirting is a good thing but not in the work place.

lol, about losing the jobs. that was one of my concerns:)
it did work a little better 17-20 years ago. i would be nervous about it today. all this politically correct stuff makes it hard to know what you can say or do.
for example, a gal my husband works with has lost about 40 pounds and had a nice new outfit on. he said he was almost afraid to compliment her and wouldn't have if he hadn't known her for several years.

my brother just completed his first year of nursing school . he is late 30's. a female student was having trouble with some of the curriculum and told my brother she was worried about flunking out. my brother offered to study with her (because he was formerly an e.m.t./firefighter, some of the stuff comes a little easier to him than the other students). they met at the college library 2 nights. all of a sudden, her mom and her boyfriend (student's boyfriend) start calling my brother and telling him he is a 'stalker' and why should someone 'almost 40 be after a 20-year-old', and they threatened him, etc.
i guess they had thought "pat" was a female. when they found out it was a man, they went nuts.
my brother quit studying with the girl and she apologized profusely to him. she was horribly embarrassed. she recently broke up with the boyfriend, who was totally controling, but when she asked my brother if he would study with her again, he suggested she study with some of the other females in the class.

Thanks! We have known each other 23 years. We didn't lose our jobs. I did end up transfering to another department (my choice after we became serious) and then eventually left. He stayed for another 5 years (and had been there 5 years prior).

I like this topic, so I thought I'd post and get it bumped up! :-)

I'm no expert, but when a woman reaches and touches me...on the shoulder, or arm or leg or whatever, that's an intimate gesture and even though they may not be flirting, they are saying "Hey, I like you and I'm not afraid to catch anything from you!" I must say, I like when it happens too.

At work though.....put on the brakes man! As a woman you might get away with it more, but as a man, you can't be touching anyone anywhere!
