There is a cute boy at work but I don't want to end up like my cow orker who was f'd (literally and figuratively) by a jerk we work with.

She is the gossip again (even more so than before) and has to deal with him for the rest of the summer. Dude used her to sleep with her then treated her like shit.

This guy asked me to get a drink with him after work. Is this safe?

Responses:

It's going out for a drink, what's the worst that could happen? - znufrii Jun 12, 06:13 38
- is this how all of your relationships started? That's not exactly a recommendation. -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 06:30 1

- Rohypnol-carrying rapist/serial killer probably ranks in the Top 5 wort possibilities. - ty97 Jun 12, 06:21 1

- People will talk, he might spread lies. Who knows. -- nm - lileve Jun 12, 06:19 17
  - Ignore that post, I was confused. Sorry. -- nm - lileve Jun 12, 06:30
  - and is that really so bad? -- nm - znufrii Jun 12, 06:26 6
    - It would kinda suck. But if you put walls up to protect yourself from all of the possible pains, you risk making yourself a hermit. - ty97 Jun 12, 06:29 5
      - More than anything, I'm afraid poor gossip would hurt my reputation among the higher bosses and threaten my job. -- nm - Hotkiss Jun 12, 06:31 4
        
        that's legit, but dating one guy won't hurt you. -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 06:32 3
        
        and going out for a social drink with a guy even less so. -- nm - znufrii Jun 12, 06:33 2
        
        dude, it's a date. -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 06:34 1
        
        the guy probably hopes it will turn into one, but a drink in and of itself is not a date. -- nm - znufrii Jun 12, 06:37
  - For real? I honestly can't tell if this post is serious or not. -- nm - Jim Jun 12, 06:25 8
    - I miss understood. Sorry. -- nm - lileve Jun 12, 06:28
    - I've been trying to come up with an appropriate response for a few minutes now, and just couldn't think of one. -- nm - kelly Jun 12, 06:27 1
      - I miss understood. Sorry. -- nm - lileve Jun 12, 06:28
    - A guy in the office spreads gossip about a girl. Then askes hk to go out with him. What else do you think is going to happen?! -- nm - lileve Jun 12, 06:26 4
      - No no, mine is a different guy. -- nm - Hotkiss Jun 12, 06:26 3
        
        Oh ok. I'm sorry I was confused. If he's nice go for it. -- nm - lileve Jun 12, 06:28
        
        then feel good that the other girl got the jerk she deserved and have a great time. -- nm - znufrii Jun 12, 06:28 1
        
        Exactly. -- nm - lileve Jun 12, 06:29
- the worst? random gas line explosion that destroys 6 city blocks. - Andie Jun 12, 06:17 15
  - hee! -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 06:29
  - energy wave that eradicates all life in North America -- nm - Roger More Jun 12, 06:19 11
    - Immediate death is hardly the "worst" from a personal point of view, I think. -- nm - znufrii Jun 12, 06:22 3
      - fwiw - the energy wave would melt all forms of life into a gray-green goo, through an incredibly painful process -- nm - Roger More Jun 12, 06:27 1
        
        oh, in that case, yeah, that would probably be the worst... - znufrii Jun 12, 06:32
      - did you get a 'doesn't play well with others' note on all your report cards? - Andie Jun 12, 06:24
    - well, i guess if we are really truly going for *worst*, the planet could be struck by a giant asteroid and explode into oblivion. - Andie Jun 12, 06:21 6
      - Or they might stop at the supermarket on the way home and the guy could block the aisle with his cart. nm - ralph wiggum Jun 12, 06:29 3
        
        He's clearly an asshole with no purpose in life. -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 06:31
        
        that's unspeakable. -- nm - Andie Jun 12, 06:29 1
        
        only if he also gives people dirty looks when they try and get around him. -- nm - znufrii Jun 12, 06:30
      - Or... there could be a problem with the space-time continuum and the entire universe could collapse into a singularity - Roger More Jun 12, 06:26 1
        
        and..... Scene! -- nm - Andie Jun 12, 06:28
  - But that's possible whether or not she has a drink... -- nm - znufrii Jun 12, 06:18 1
    - I'm guessing you haven't seen the Final Destination movies. - Roger More Jun 12, 06:19
Don't do it. -- nm - lileve Jun 12, 06:12
if you want to go, go. if you don't want to do something that will make you look bad, don't do those things. - Andie Jun 12, 06:09 2
- haha i like the "they're all just jealous!" line -- nm - Hotkiss Jun 12, 06:13 1
  - *shrug*, it's sort of true, boring people don't get talked about, truly interesting people do what they want and don't care. - Andie Jun 12, 06:16
If you want to be sure that you won't end up like your coworker, don't go. Don't do anything. Stay home all the time - Guigue Jun 12, 05:41 2
- If you never act you will live in the world of "what ifs". -- nm - Stacy Jun 12, 06:19
- this is a brilliant post. A+! -- nm - crabs love mandy lane Jun 12, 05:56
Really? You have to ask this? If you want to go...go. If you don't...don't. nm -- nm - Jim Jun 12, 05:30
the drink? sure. the date? depends. Don't jump into bed with him. -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 05:27 15
- agreed -- nm - Stacy Jun 12, 05:31
- Wouldn't getting a drink be lightly considered a date? And what if I ask him to see Food Inc with me? -- nm - Hotkiss Jun 12, 05:28 13
  - Do what you want. If he wants to join you, it's his decision. - nubby Jun 12, 05:48
  - you can go out for drinks and have it not be a date. It depends on your intention. -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 05:34
  - do you want it to be a date? what do *you* want? -- nm - crabs love mandy lane Jun 12, 05:32 10
    - Also...isn't it possible to go on a date and NOT - Jim Jun 12, 05:39 9
      - *blank look* Whaaaaaaa? nm - ralph wiggum Jun 12, 05:43 8
        
        Hello, wiggums. I hereby declare us to be on a date. - nubby Jun 12, 05:47 7
        
        You can't just declare we're on a date. You at least have to procure a bottle of peppermint schnapps or something. nm - ralph wiggum Jun 12, 05:50 5
        
        does he have to present it to you? -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 06:33
        
        I'm sorry, but Appeal of Date Declaration forms must be filed within 120 seconds of original declaration. -- nm - Australia Passport and Date Declaration Office Jun 12, 05:52 3
        
        *rechecks instructions* Dammit!. Ok, let's do this thing. nm - ralph wiggum Jun 12, 05:58 2
        
        make sure you don't smile -- nm - prayformojo Jun 12, 06:04 1
        
        Oh, I'll definitely make sure my mouth is closed. nm - ralph wiggum Jun 12, 06:06
        
        giddy up :) -- nm - Stacy Jun 12, 05:48
