| He said that we would go out on Sunday & he never called Posted: 10/17/2006 8:06:26 AM | | Just to let you all know, I did see him on an elevator full of people, so I didn't say anything excep "hi", then got caught up in the elevator chatter. I am still skulking around the building, though, as I walk around from room to room and he works for maintenance. He could pop up anywhere, but so far so good. Sheesh...I feel kinda dumb for worrying about this. I guess that's the high cost of kindness. I really hate confrontations and keep thinking I don't ever want to talk about this with him. I wish he would just poof..and disappear, so I wouldn't have to think about this anymore while I am at work. I go to work to work. I don't care why he didn't call. I am just glad that I found him out so soon. Talking about work, I better get a move on. tee hee | |

Like, 'If I'm not doing anything, I'll give youu a call'. Give him the benefit of the doubt, perhaps you misread his intentions. Don't assume, be honest and upfront with him. Accept that it might have been, at least partially, your fault and don't date coworkers. | |

You dont owe him a damn thing!!!.... Look hot and smile A LOT... he will be sure to consider what he missed.... or
HE IS JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU!
And you should find yourself the real man you deserve!
Either way... if he wants to talk... he can call you... DO NOT MAKE THE FIRST MOVE, that just makes it ok for him to treat you like a toy... Trust me... blow him off! | |

I had the same thing happen recently with someone I see often so I put the cards on the table and let it be known, it affected our friendship. That he needed to make amends, say he was sorry, something. His behaviour was unacceptable.
Surprise, he apologized and we ended up on a date, as I was already headed out alone to a symphony performance so he accompanied me. We are now good friends and he has respect for me as I do for him. (He sat through two hours of symphony music not his genre I would consider that making it up to me.) lol
Go to this colleague and be up front. You hurt me when you did not show or call. See what kind of response you will get sometimes, life is full of pleasant surprises. If he isn't even considerate enough or man enough to apologize for something so small, would you want to be in a relationship with him if he had to apologize for something really big? Best of luck.

It is true, true, true not to date someone from work.
Interestingly, I thought it would be more of a "friend" thing. I wouldn't even want to kiss him.
So, here we go, can people of different sexes truly be friends?
Sounds like it might have been more than a friend thing.
I definately have great female friends going back 30 yrs. Dating and marriage slow 'em down and I didn't get any more after marriage, but some women have been wonderful to me with no love or sex expectations. Some expectations at first but dropped after we got to know each other better. It might be awkward to make the change, but I'll never be romantic again with anyone but a good friend. I'm past the High School crush thing (mostly) | |

If it comes up from him....
Remember that old Brady Bunch episode..
Your answer should be: "Just as well something came up for me too. blow it off as nothing.....
Don't give him the time of day other than a hello in passing from here on in....
that a girl..... you can do it!!! | |
