Annoyed, Senior Manager asked me out for a drink

Just block his number on your mobile and carry on as normal. You have given your 'No' answer.

I've got to admit that a boyfriend wouldn't have put me off. Husband, yes.

I presume then that if you were unmarried but had a partner you'd think it was absolutely fine for somebody to pursue them with no regard for you or your relationship.

Why do you feel sorry for men? Because they can't always have every woman they fancy?

Boyfriend means in a relationship, spoken for, not fair game and keep trying!

Yes I do feel sorry for men sometimes and that is a silly statement about them not having every women they fancy!

The Op should have said no thank you I have a boyfriend, not I am busy with my boyfriend, that leaves it open in my book. You cannot blame him for trying, well I do not anyway.

She may not have been happy with her boyfriend and open to the idea for all he knew.

When she did make it clear to him he backed off.

Rules of work. As laid down at Findus, Pelham Rd Oct 1978.

1 Shift starts at 6, finishes at 2 etc.

2 Company has subsidised shop and canteen

3 Company has Sports Social club, and costs you apprentices 5p a week. You cannot use the bar as you are under 18

4 We have a pension scheme, but if I were one of you lot, I would not put a penny into it, because when you retire, there will be nothing left in the pit.

5 Pay day is Thursday. If you are paid wrong, do not bother coming back.

6 Never come to work in a new car, your boss will think you are paid too much

I suggest that OP fully understands rule number 1 in today's workplace. If company does not pay for my mobile phone, they can swing on a seat for the number.

That was humour?

Well then, some people can't write it either.

Asking somebody out is not pursuing.

It is not uncommon for Mrs G to be asked out, before and since we got married, and I am fine with it. I take it as [strike]complement[/strike] compliment.

It matters because he is a senior manager, and as such should not be abusing his position. He shouldn't be propositioning junior colleagues regardless of their relationship status, its unethical and unprofessional.

I agree with this.
If you are both the same grade its not an issue.
But as a manager you can't be propositioning people you have a responsibility too.

But if you say that, there is a chance you're taking it the wrong way and he does just want to meet for drinks.

Am I the only person that has drinks with people (male and female) as friends? I can't see anything that suggests there was a sexual or non platonic motive.

You#re not the only one. I do it fairly often with a male friend (I'm female) and it is just two friends meeting up for a drink or whatever we plan on doing.
