So, one of the guys at work (someone I only see a few times a month) just hit on me. Not in a creepy way or anything, but I got flustered so I kind of plowed on with the original conversation. I think maybe he thought I was being rude, but geez. How do I react to that? He seems like a really nice guy and he really wasn't being creepy, but it's work! If I knew him like this socially I would have flirted back and probably exchanged numbers, instead I felt like a deer in the headlights.
A ghost? What's the deal? Is every frat on this campus haunted? And if so, why do people keep coming to these parties, cause it's not the snacks.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Always Anti-fascist!
At least it was not like when my friend's pervy friend hit on me and I came back with "Dude, you don't understand. I don't even like you." (that was after several kinder efforts failed to back him up, and was the complete unvarnished truth.)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
So go out with him. If you only see him a couple of times month, no big.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Or, if it truly makes you uncomfortable, skip it.

I say go for it but have a bright-line between work and not work as far as your personal relationship.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I gave up around 10:30 and came in to work. I figured that, if the Eternally Running Faucet hadn't started running heavier over the previous 3 hours, it wasn't going to at all, and I didn't want to waste my day listening to my bathtub faucet run. It was making me need to pee.

cute green puppy!!
I wasn't comfortable as much as surprised. I'm not exactly sure when I'll see him again, he works in an area I never get to, but when I do I'll flirt and see what happens.

move out and draw fire
Huh. I read the sentence
Veterinarians said it is possible for a newborn puppy's fur to be green because the placenta, which is green, rubs off at birth.
"Vegetarians said it..." and had to re-read with "Wait, so vegetarians can eat him?" in my brain.
It's been a long day.
I have no opinion on the co-worker flirtation, except that more people should flirt with askye.
