Wow... already said this and completely glazed over by OP.


Maybe because I have never seen Karon post something worthwhile and once again s/he's completely off base.

I've actually become friends with her older sister who is really cool. She said that her sister probably just likes me at as a friend. /shrug That's probably accurate enough.

Now that you know her sister, here's your chance to start a threesome.

Just recoil a little too much when it happens; eventually she'll realize it's making you uncomfortable.

Here's a flowchart for you:


1) Are you single? If yes, go to 2. If no, go to 1a.
1a) Are you in an open relationship, or are you a cheater? If yes, go to 2. If no, go to 3.

2) Do you want to hit that? If yes, go to 2a. If no, go to 3.
2a) Hit that. Was it good? If yes, go back to 2a. If no, go to 8.

3) Tell her "I'm sorry, but I'm just not comfortable with this. Please don't do it again." If she stops, go to 5. If she continues, go to 3a.
3a) Begin a log detailing when and how the inappropriate contact happened, as well as details of your interactions with 3rd parties about this issue (especially HR). Go to 3b.
3b) Go to HR and report a formal sexual harassment complaint. Did HR fix the problem? If yes, go to 5. If no, go to 4.

4) Hire a lawyer and sue them. Are you now rich? If yes, go to 6. If no, go to 7.

5) Congratulations! You're successfully and properly dealt with the situation. Hopefully, you two can retain a professional level of interactions, but, if not, don't worry. She was crazy anyway.

6) Congratulations! You're now rich! Time to quit your job and live like a king. Perhaps a bit of blow and that girl from work is a good place to start...

7) Well, you've probably lost your job and have nothing to show for it. But, who needs that job anyway? They were a bunch of pricks.

8) You've really screwed things up. There's not much you can do at this point. You'll be faced with some awkward circumstances at work, and expect to hear from HR about a formal reprimand and possible firing.

Heh.

Anyways, it's still kinda awkward.

The way I see it I have three choices.

1) Pursue it.
-The Good - It could work out.
-The Bad - It could not work out.
-The Ugly - It could make working there very awkward.
2) Ignore her.
-The Good - Job security.
-The Bad - No lovin' for me.
-The Ugly - It could have been something special. lulz
3) Wait for her to do something.
-The Good - I've got chicks chasing me.
-The Bad - If she actually is interested, I don't think she has the nerve to do anything.
-The Ugly - Can't think of one.

Time to roll a D3!

I don't even KNOW anymore.

Next time she hits you, jump straight up and shout "Come at me bro!" The look of confusion will be worth it.

Or, she'll come at you and the story from that will be worth it.

Either way.

Did she become his girlfriend due to the result of the chart?

Slash her tires, then when she asks you why you did it, tell her you don't know.

Just man up and tell her to please stop touching you during work hours, it makes you feel uncomfortable. Don't go to HR. Just deal with her first, like adults. Only if she persists should you go to HR and tell them.

Not one to be left out apparently, a chick at work wants my balls. Issue being, she has a boyfriend. Each day the physical contact has increased, and I've told her one or two of my stories and she's super into it. Does it make me a horrible person (I'll settle for bad) if I A) do her, knowing she has a boyfriend or B) let her know that I know she has a boyfriend but I'll still play along if she wants first, then do her (basically give a disclaimer)? Id gladly be the third but I don't think the guy would be into it.
