Bangle Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 Why would someone you work with refer to you as a boyfriend infront of her fellow co-workers? She says it in a light hearted way, so I don't take it seriously, but I am confused as to why someone would do this in the first place? Is it harmless banter or she is trying to make a big hint?
carhill Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 Kinda nebulous for a first-time poster with no history... Are you dating? Does she have a lot of 'boyfriends'?
cooldudeinberlin Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 1.) you will have to divulge a lot moer details than that to understand what you mean 2.) "East Berlin" hasnt existed in 20 years.
Author Bangle Posted April 12, 2010 Author Posted April 12, 2010 Kinda nebulous for a first-time poster with no history... Are you dating? Does she have a lot of 'boyfriends'? I'm not dating and she is single.
carhill Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 Does she call other men her 'boyfriend'? What is her demeanor and expression when saying this? Do you want to date her?
Author Bangle Posted April 12, 2010 Author Posted April 12, 2010 Does she call other men her 'boyfriend'? What is her demeanor and expression when saying this? Do you want to date her? I'm unaware if she calls other men her 'boyfriend'. She says it in an amusing way as it's a some banter and it doesn't come across as being serious then again, I am not the most serious of people around and our entire relationship has been based on friendly banter with one another. I would be willing to date her.
Author Bangle Posted April 14, 2010 Author Posted April 14, 2010 I think I'll ask her if she would like to go on a date, though I expect to be rejected as I'm less than convinced that she is interested.
Jambalaya Posted April 14, 2010 Posted April 14, 2010 If you spend a lot of time chatting and being friendly at work, I would assume it's just banter.
Author Bangle Posted April 14, 2010 Author Posted April 14, 2010 It certainly looks that way, but there is no harm in asking and getting knocked back, she might move onto someone else and I get about my business as usual.
Pedigree Posted April 14, 2010 Posted April 14, 2010 I've experienced this one before. Banter -and then if you fell for it and started throw hints her way- attentionseeking.
Author Bangle Posted April 14, 2010 Author Posted April 14, 2010 I've experienced this one before. Banter -and then if you fell for it and started throw hints her way- attentionseeking. That's what I thought and it's not like I give her the attention she wants anyway, if that is what she is after. I treat her like most people and I banter with most people at work and outside of work. And what I can't understand is why she would bother? I mean, she is a very attractive girl who gets hit on all the time, she wants a boyfriend blah, blah, blah, so if I'm not boyfriend material in her eyes, why bother? It seems counter-productive. I'll probably just ignore her from now on, I don't have time to play games and especially not at work.
Author Bangle Posted April 17, 2010 Author Posted April 17, 2010 She rejected my advances, stating she cannot take me seriously. Talk about a total head case. At least now she won't be bantering with me at work, so now I can get more work done.
marsle85 Posted April 17, 2010 Posted April 17, 2010 2.) "East Berlin" hasnt existed in 20 years. I'm more interested in his response to this.
Author Bangle Posted April 17, 2010 Author Posted April 17, 2010 I'm more interested in his response to this. I was born in East Berlin in 1988 when it was still under Soviet control.
