Frazzle Posted April 14, 2017 Posted April 14, 2017 There is a new coworker who I've been nice to because I'm relatively new myself and know how it feels. She's pretty nice to me. She's new to the area and so am I. A couple of weeks ago, she was out having drinks with another coworker and texted me to see if I wanted to join them. I've never hung out with them but thought she was just being friendly because we're both new to the area. I couldn't make it as I already had plans that night. However, recently she went out of state for a training workshop. I messaged her to see how she was doing and to see how she likes the area (I've gone there as well). She told me out of the blue that she went on an awkward date over the weekend and how she didn't know it was a date. She also told me he was so young, etc... (he's 21). I was surprised she told me about it because we aren't that close. Why did she tell me about her awkward date? Since we are not close, can I assume that she's just trying to make friends? But that's a weird way to go about making friends. Or is she hinting at something else?
basil67 Posted April 14, 2017 Posted April 14, 2017 It's not a weird way to go about making friends. After all, most of friendship is just sharing the stuff which happens in our lives. I can't see that she's hinting for anything. 4
hercules22 Posted April 14, 2017 Posted April 14, 2017 yeah probably just sees you as some work friend 1
CptInsano Posted April 14, 2017 Posted April 14, 2017 Yep, you're on your best way to become a "work husband". It's not necessarily a bad thing from a networking perspective, and it means that you appear trustworthy and likeable to her. I just wouldn't read more into it. 1
emsx0x Posted April 15, 2017 Posted April 15, 2017 lol it just means she is telling you about an awkward date... she's being friendly and making conversation 2
smackie9 Posted April 15, 2017 Posted April 15, 2017 Totally friend zoned yes............ If you are interested in someone you hit on them, not make friendly chit chat like being their GF. This will help you stay out of the friend zone.
Hopeful30 Posted April 16, 2017 Posted April 16, 2017 Actually, it might mean just the opposite of friend zoned. She is sharing info about a bad date to get closer to you, or to reveal what she likes or dislikes in a man to see if you guys can chat about it and perhaps take things further. It's hard to tell, but I definitely don't think this is being friend zoned. If I liked a guy, I would be more than happy to share about a bad date. Not only is it an excuse to get close to a man, but it also let's him know I'm available. 1
Titanll Posted April 16, 2017 Posted April 16, 2017 Not to be pissy at all but are we supposed to "read" something into your words? Folks are saying that you are friend-zoned or that you are a work husband. Ok, fine. Why? Good lord...one poster got it. She's making conversation with a co-worker. You initiated this conversation, did you not? What am I missing, the fact that she's a female coworker? Holy reading into things, Batman!
