So...a threesome then?

Ha ha! Freudian slip.

Lucky I'm not the jealous type.

[QUOTE=Indie_Kid;65507451]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.



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.[/QUOTE]



Yes perhaps he did just want to meet for drinks and be friends but he did not make that clear to her if that was the case obviously.

Despite this guy not being as professional as he could have been, it's not exactly the crime of the century.

He liked you and asked you out, ok twice, and you made it clear you were not interested and he has backed off.

OP why are you so annoyed about the whole thing to the extent you are? I agree he probably shouldn't have texted you on your personal mobile, but perhaps he felt maybe that was the best way in the circumstances? like someone else has said already, you can't blame a man for trying.

Keep the texts for the moment, just in case this turns into something much more inappropriate. But in your shoes, I'd let it go. After all, you have nothing to feel awkward about.

I don't get why this is such a big issue. All of my team at work have my personal mobile number and I have theirs.


Give the guy some credit, he had the conkers to ask in the first place. I'd be gutted if I'd worked up the courage to ask a guy out for a drink only to be reported to HR for my efforts!


Take it as a compliment, tell him you're flattered and move on. It's only an issue if you make it one.

Give him some credit?! Ha, that's funny! :rotfl:

The OP has a boyfriend, she's in a relationship....he shouldn't have to be working up the courage to ask anything. If she was single then I'd be inclined to agree with you, but she's not.

The worlds gone politically correct mad !

He asked her out - she's now declined...end.

Except it isn't as we are now having this discussion on here. I think some people need to get over their own sense of importance.

people like to exercise their right to be offended.

What does it have to do with political correctness?

'Should he even be calling me on a number I'd previously given him for work purposes' - not an exact quote but nearly there. So in this instance is it 'politically correct' for him to phone her under those circumstances.

Yes, so it's up to the OP to reject the invitation, it doesn't mean someone can't extend an invite
