View Full Version : Why do all my dates turn out disasterous?
Purity 11-19-2003, 02:21 AM it's like, if we just meet up at my place and have fun then everything seems to be gravy. yet everytime i plan an official outting then something stupid always seems to happen.
tonight the bartender tried to start **** with ME because he was drunker then his own customers!! AND IT'S A ****IN FAMILY RESTAURANT!!! so after his own manager calms him down we end up calling it a short night and now nicole thinks i'm the *******.
i dunno why. maybe i did do something stupid but i really don't think it was my fault. we all know i'm opinionated but i do it in a fun way......i think.
so anyways, i work with her so if anyone has any bright ideas on how i can possibly patch up this new case of **** UP that i've caught then i'm all ears.
oh and for all the comedians just WAITING for an opportunity to throw in your lame feedback that will appear funny to the typer, and nobody but the typer:
HAHA!! that's pretty funny. wow yer clever. hardy-****in har!!!
so now that that's outta the way, serious replies only.
The Jake 11-19-2003, 02:22 AM Did you say you took someone out on a date that you work with?
This generally is a bad idea at the best of times dude.

mma thugg 11-19-2003, 02:24 AM well maybe she sees it as you should have just avoided the arguement?

yeah but in my experience, you get drama regardless so you might as well have fun and live life.

Not at the expense of your professional life though. I know of several who have done this. It invariably leads to complications. Often at the expense of your career or job.

probably but we're both in sales. she hears my convos with the clients. she knows what kinda person i am.
i guess i should just find a way of politely explaining this but, at the same time, maybe she has that whole "let's just ditch the workplace atmosphere" attitude....
well **** that.
mma thugg 11-19-2003, 02:31 AM i stay away from work relationships in my experience they never work too much bull**** can get in the way.

i could type out a long series of several incidents that have happened to me in just the past year to explain why i don't believe it matters if you fish off the company pier but i'm gettin very drowsy.
needless to say, my career is always complicated so i'm over it. at least i think i am.
bah! well she taught me some cool **** about the aztec sun gods and stuff. she's messican and has this cool lil messican aztec sun god necklace thingy. it's cool. i wish i could tell ya'll what it meant but i can't remember what she said.
it had ta deal with sacrifices and wars and **** so i know there's mad coolness to it.
when i remember then i'll tell y'all.

not tryin for a relationship dude. neither is she. we're just havin fun and seein what happens.
The Jake 11-19-2003, 02:42 AM I've seen it happen. Usually with superiors and someone directly under them.
Usually it ends with one of them leaving the company. Either voluntarily or not.
Any opportunity for advancement usually ends then and there as well.
The biggest reason not to is that if you want to bag other chicks in your office. If word gets around (and it invariably will), your chances of scoring with the rest are minimal. This can be a total kick in the balls if your office is full of rotties (since you're a fan of the sales staff I'm gonna presume it is). If you do, my advice would be to ensure its the hottest chick in the office and don't **** up.

Purity 11-19-2003, 02:48 AM in all honesty jarrod, i'm not tryin to bang anyone out. i go there, work hard, have fun, and help my clients. all the other politics will be there regardless of who i ****, who ****s who, or who doesn't ****. i'll try to maintain my integrity and if it works then WORD. if it doesn't then lesson learned and a good lesson to apply in the future.
actually i'm just trying to justify something that you and i both know will end up making me more miserable in the long run. i think i picked up this skill in drug counseling :)
Magic Man 11-19-2003, 02:53 AM just be mature about, be upfront and talk to her about what happened - find out what she thinks rather than assuming, work from there. Don't play games, that **** is juvenile.

Hehehe I hear ya mate. Astro and I debated this one endlessly at one point. In the end the final conclusion was that it wasn't worth putting your job in the toilet unless the chick you bang is really, really worth it ;-)
That said, I've always had my eye on the prize so I never get distracted by **** like that. :)

ArjukanpoKarate 11-19-2003, 04:29 AM Tony,
I hope it all turns out well in the end for you. Just talk to her about it, if she's going to be a snob, then she is not good enough for you and you should move on.

Well I was dating someone at the time u c. And when I broke up with her, I was pretty much with Arju not long thereafter. But it was always fun seeing Astro crack onto the hottest chicks in the office.

Allison 11-19-2003, 08:53 AM Remember the girl who told you she was married during your date?
And then you left your keys in her car, so you were forced to see her again....
Hilarious.

VulgarTheClown 11-19-2003, 08:58 AM as for the problem with the girl from work, just be like whatever. if she talks to you about it then confront the situation, otherwise **** it.

i was actually thinking of that too when i made this thread. life's so ****ty but aint it ****in great :)
Bluecifer 11-19-2003, 02:02 PM Purity, you're a smart man, but I have to say that getting too cozy with co-workers is a bad idea in general. But besides that, as to why things got ****ed up maybe she just didn't dig on any drama or negative vibe in general and would have prefered to avoid any kind of confrontation with a drunken bartender. Who knows? I'd say don't dwell on it and move in on some chick that you are not involved with professionally.

Well then, Purity, disregard my post. I'm definately not one to take relationship advice from.
Allison 11-19-2003, 03:52 PM So did I, then I divorced him.
Bluecifer 11-19-2003, 03:59 PM Almost everytime I got involved with someone that I was professionally related to it ended ugly. Usually I stay friends with people I date, but work puts a wierd vibe on it, for me at least.
Purity 11-19-2003, 04:25 PM ok here's the deal:
at my old company i was way cool with this girl but didn't hook up because of the drama that can follow. but everyone spread rumors that we were so she thought that i was telling people that i ****ed her- which i didn't do at all. so i got drama from her and she never liked me afterwards.
then i got in cool with the new receptionist, ****ed her, and got drama. what's funny is that i didn't tell anyone about it because i don't believe sex is there for bragging purposes. SHE went around and asked everyone, making sure that i wasn't spreading rumors....
dumb *****.
sex or no sex, co-worker or not, friend or enemy or lover, i always get drama so i don't care. i gave up on trying to avoid it. might as well get my **** on.
it doesn't matter who, when, where, why, or how you bone. drama results from one, or both, partners being immature about something. as long as you're both mature, upfront, and understanding towards what you're involving eachother with then there shouldn't be any problems
...unless you have an ******* bartender
or a married woman
or forget to put gas in your tank
****!!!

Who quit or left first and how long into the relationship?
I'm sorry but it always ends with either:
a) one party leaving voluntarily
or
b) one party getting sacked
ALWAYS
I've never seen an exception to this. The relationship might be peaches but my point is something has to give for that to happen.

I can see why you do it now. Coz' you're ****ed either way.
Still - it's not a smart idea and you know that. I dunno if this is all occuring in the same office, given you changed jobs, but you're in a position where you can have a fresh start and build a new rep every time you change jobs. So why piss on it with each move dating new chicks at work? Makes no sense.
- J.
Purity 11-19-2003, 04:33 PM NOTHING makes sense when it comes to sex and relationships. cmon now!
who cares. in the end, i still have my patron, chair, and fishtank :)
Bluecifer 11-19-2003, 04:33 PM For similair reasons to what Purity said I no longer speak with my administrative support unless it's to say:
1. Transfer all calls to my cell phone
2. I'm in a meeting
3. Good Morning
4. Good Night
5. Please(insert random administrative task here)
6. Thank you
Tha Playa 11-19-2003, 04:34 PM I guess I am happy now that all of the women who work at my office are not attractive. Makes my life that much more stress-free.

We both quit at the same time, went from delivering pizzas to delivering newspapers until we both quit that and I stayed home to be a full time mom. :)
There is always an exception to the rule.:)

Point is though you quit together. You both left.
I've yet to hear of anyone who started dating in the workplace, stay in the workplace and NOT have it affect their career.

LOL, me too....especially when the drunk guys tipped me real well. Hubby got a $50 tip one time and a woman answered the door in a naughty nighty!

I used do it on Saturday nights. Load up my mates into the car (we weren't supposed to do that). They'd look up the quickest routes for me whilst I gathered as many orders as I could and we'd deliver them in the quickest times.
Any wrong/bad orders I gave to my mates or gave free goods at the end of the night. We'd drive around listening to music and chatting all night. Great fun.
I never had any excitement delivering pizzas except to a couple of cute sixteen year olds in CFM boots. My mates wanted to go back afterwards... hahahahhaha
