Look for a complication

Happy New Year to one and all.

There is this girl whom I work with whom fancies me and would like to go on a date with me. This much I know and am not too comfortable with. She is a very nice girl but the problem lies with me, as I do not want an office romance. 'Girl with a knife' might be able to advise me on what to do as she has been on the other end of the stick, as it were. All I need to do is tell this girl there is nothing from my end between us and all is well, but this is not so easy as she is a fantastic individual and I would love to be more than happy to be good friends.

What should I do this day or the next.

JYS?

Why fight it? The worst that could happen is you both lose your jobs and end the tryst.

You will eventually sleep with her.

to anonymous:
tryst
n.

1. An agreement, as between lovers, to meet at a certain time and place.
2. A meeting or meeting place that has been agreed on. See Synonyms at engagement.

also

tryst
n.
1: a date; usually with a member of the opposite sex [syn: rendezvous] 2: a secret rendezvous (especially between lovers)

however, tryst does not mean affair.

JYS: go ahead and fuck her or just tell her you're not interested.

Hm. Not much advice to offer here, as the situation for me is quite different.

For one thing, my workplace is quite dating-friendly. In fact, there are quite a few husband-and-wife duos who are both employed here. Intra-office romance is common among single employees.

For another, I would have fucked my Co-Worker's brains out months ago if he didn't have a serious, long-term girlfriend whom he refuses to cheat on.

I love it when people try and fail spectacularly to correctly use the word whom.

Sorry, I didn't mean to be condescending (that means speaking down to you).

If you weren't anonymous, I'd buy you a pint for that comment. You obnoxious gimp.

Please explain to me why "whom" was used incorrectly. Be sure to look it up in your grammar manual, which will likely be found lodged somewhere in your clenched rectum. JiB could probably help you fish it out after he buys you that pint to loosen things up.

By the way, I'm a huge fan of people who leave pissy comments anonymously.

Hm...I just looked at the original post and discovered that perhaps our anonymous antagonist was referring to JYS's usage of "whom" in the second sentence, and not my use of it in my comment.

Whatever, it's still a ridiculous complaint. It's a fucking blog, for christ's sake, not a term paper.

And JYS, if I were you I'd hang out sometime with your co-worker lady friend outside of work. If she makes a move on you, tell her that you just want to be friends.

But maybe she won't bother getting all smoochy with you if you scrupulously avoid being flirtatious. Call her "dude" and give her high-fives and stuff. She'll get the idea. ;)

Don't worry, JiBs. I would never intentionally insinuate such a thing. I know you're not into fisting.

I say have at him/her with the broken pint glass or whatever it was. Though it seems to me that s/he's living a life of misery as it is, bumming around correcting strangers' grammar on blogs. The bleeding, shredded asshole would probably be a mercy.

Wow, JYS. I've never heard someone sound so resigned to the idea of having wild, naughty co-worker sex.
