running4life Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 1. I’ve a liking to my coworkers son and would like to go on a date with him. Strange? Bad idea? 2. Out of College during summer I invited him on a group hike…he claims to be busy and that he’ll try…not a yes/no…how can I get a sure yes. 3. Broke up with his gifrfriend about a year and a half ago..ex has a new boyfriend. He still mentions and communicated with his ex…is he not over her?
Assasda Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 First of all, realize that you dont know anything about him yet. A good thing would be to ask him out to places. Just be readily available and hopefully he picks up the hit
PegNosePete Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 I invited him on a group hike…he claims to be busy and that he’ll try…not a yes/no…how can I get a sure yes. If you want a date with him then ask him on a date, not a group hike. 1

He is not over his ex 4. He has 0 interest in you sorry. 2
David87 Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 Two red flags with this guy. 1 . He's your boss's son 2. He still talks to his ex. I can guarantee that he's not over her. If you want to go out with him, make that clear. There's no shame in asking a guy out for coffee or lunch. 1
PegNosePete Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 What? I know many people who still talk to their exes. I went to a movie with my ex last night. It's totally ludicrous to assume that anyone who still talks to their ex, is not over them. 2
David87 Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 I still talk to my ex( one of them ). You know why ? Because I still have feeling for her . 1
PegNosePete Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 Well good for you. That doesn't mean it's the same for everyone..... 1
Gaeta Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 I still talk to an ex because.....yep! still got that little flame buried down there that won't die. 2
soccerrprp Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 I had exes that I communicated with and it was not b/c I had any "feelings" for them. Not I said "had." I'm in a very serious relationship and respect that relationship and the woman I'm with, so cut off all exes. 2
David87 Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 Well good for you. That doesn't mean it's the same for everyone..... This applies to you to......... If you don't have feelings for your ex it doesn't mean it's the same 4 everyone. I mean at some point you loved this girl , had sex with her and now your 'just friends'. It's bad news to hang out with an ex especially if you have a gf. This is real life not Seinfeld where Jerry and Elaine were best friends after dating. Come on........ any way. 1
David87 Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 1. Yes and Yes 2. Not a yes-no is a NO 3. He is not over his ex 4. He has 0 interest in you sorry. He is definitely not over his ex.. Thank you!
PegNosePete Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 This applies to you to......... If you don't have feelings for your ex it doesn't mean it's the same 4 everyone. True, but what does that have to do with the price of fish? I am not the one applying my situation to everyone on the planet. Some people can be friends with their ex, some can't.
Lalasita Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 OP this guy isn't over his ex....besides he's your boss's son what will you do if things don't work out. Don't bother with this one.
David87 Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 True, but what does that have to do with the price of fish? I am not the one applying my situation to everyone on the planet. Some people can be friends with their ex, some can't. How stupid do you think I am? Of course not applying my situation to the OP's. I just gave her my oppinion... nothing more.
Gaeta Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 3. Broke up with his gifrfriend about a year and a half ago..ex has a new boyfriend. He still mentions and communicated with his ex…is he not over her? OP: I would like to know how you got that information? Yes some people are friends with their ex but they refer to them as 'friends' and not as an 'ex' anymore.
PegNosePete Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 How stupid do you think I am? Of course not applying my situation to the OP's. Here's what you wrote: 2. He still talks to his ex. I can guarantee that he's not over her, If you're not implying that anyone who talks to their ex is not over them, then how did you deduce that this guy is not over his ex? What information do you have that I don't? Yes some people are friends with their ex but they refer to them as 'friends' and not as an 'ex' anymore. The OP referred to her as his ex. We have no idea how the guy refers to her.
Gaeta Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 The OP referred to her as his ex. We have no idea how the guy refers to her. I am going to extrapolate just for the heck of it till OP answers: How does OP know he still talks to his ex unless someone said: I am (or he is) still talking to his ex? 1. He said it himself refering to her as his 'ex' 2. Someone else felt it was good to mention to OP he is still talking to his ex
David87 Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 Hey PegNosePete you are right and I am wrong . Happy now ? Op listen to PegNosePete he knows what he's talking about.
Author running4life Posted May 8, 2014 Author Posted May 8, 2014 Not my boss's son...coworkers son...
Author running4life Posted May 8, 2014 Author Posted May 8, 2014 Not boss's son..coworkers son...his father and I are on the same level.
Zahara Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 1. Not strange but bad idea. I don't mix pleasure with work. Could blow up in your face if things go south. 2. You can't. Sounds like his response was a passive no. 3. He may or may not be. But going back to his response about hiking, that determination is moot.
