longlegzs80 Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 I don't understand, some people at work have assumed I have a boyfriend when really I don't and have been single for a year now. Why don't people ask me if I am seeing anyone or whatever, they just ask others and that is when the assumption of me having a boyfriend comes to play. Just don't get it.

mental_traveller Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 No idea. Are you very attractive or charming? If so then they might assume someone like you must be taken already. Link to post Share on other sites
polywog Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 What she said, and also wondering whether you are very reserved, so people assume you aren't looking. Link to post Share on other sites
Author longlegzs80 Posted April 8, 2007 Author Share Posted April 8, 2007 Thanks for the replies. I been told I am attractive, and too I am also reserved. So, I don't know what the deal is. But my guy friend who knows someone at my work, says that his friend from my work say that someone say I was dating someone. So, I don't know. If I am dating someone it is definitly new news to me. Thanks again. Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks again. office gossip and rumours spread like wildfire LL80. But are you sure the workplace is where you want to meet someone? Workplace romances can get a bit dicey. You should start hitting the singles scene and flirt flirt flirt like mad. Link to post Share on other sites
Curmudgeon Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Why don't people ask me if I am seeing anyone or whatever, they just ask others and that is when the assumption of me having a boyfriend comes to play. Because the supposition and assumptions are far more delicious and exciting than the reality. Besides, any woman with long legs should be taken, right? I think that's a rule that's written somewhere in office lore. My wife and I met at work. Four years later, a year before I even asked her out for the first time, she promoted to and left for another agency. I would never have asked her out if we'd still been employed at the same place, nor would she have accepted. Neither of us believed in fishing in the company pond. Regardless, as soon as people in my agency knew we were dating the popular speculation was that we'd been carrying-on a very discreet love affair for years. Never mind that I was married to another for the first three of them. Offices can be so petty and rumor-laden. PS. My wife is a former professional dancer and decidedly has longlegz! Mikey likes it!

alphamale Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 the majority of men are pretty shy with women LL80...especially if she is attractive. These guys are intimidated to ask you out so in their mind they make up the "fact" that you MUST be taken already to make themselves feel better for not having guts to ask you out. And the fact is that many attractive women are already taken. Link to post Share on other sites
Green Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 So ur mad that people think u have a bf just because its not true, or is it because you want people to ask you out at work? Personaly as long as a woman isnt married that wouldnt stop me from asking the girl out just to see what happens. So were you being picked up and dropped off at work by some guy perhaps, had you in the past slept with some one there, maybe you have a picture of your brother or some other guy your age range at your desk or maybe you just talked about a date you had been on with a guy who your not currently going steady with or refer to as your bf these could all be reasons for the suposed rumor.

Curmudgeon Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 And the fact is that many attractive women are already taken. And the other fact is that many are not because guys are foolish enough to asasume that just becauswe they're attractive they're already taken. They're afraid to try. Glad I wasn't!

johan Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 I promise that I won't assume you're taken anymore. Hope that helps! Link to post Share on other sites

They're afraid to try. most of attractive women i've know don't have too much trouble attracting men. in my humble experience these women usually have harems of men. when they break up with some dude the are usually with another fairly quickly. the women i've seen who have trouble getting men are the ones who lack in the attractiveness department.

Author longlegzs80 Posted April 8, 2007 Author Share Posted April 8, 2007 the thing is I been told I am attractive, so not sure what the deal is. And yeah I would like to date a guy from my work, and the thing is they stare, seem to show interest and then nothing. They stare, make alittle conversation and that is it. So. I don't know.

Curmudgeon Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Is it possible that the guys at work are adhering to the common wisdom that it's not a good idea to fish in the company pond? My wife and I met at work but if she hadn't left to go to work for another agency, I never would have asked her out, nor would she have accepted. I'm sure you're more than attractive enough but the situation just doesn't fit. Link to post Share on other sites

johan Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 there was a hot girl at my work today...then this other girl at my work today said Bye ... Hey, it's Sunday. You didn't do one of those things where you wake up on a weekend day in a panic because you actually think it's a work day so you get ready and go in, did you? Most people figure it out before they get all the way to the office and work all day. Link to post Share on other sites
