Like if she just wanted to be friends, she’d made a point of inviting both you and your wife to something, or show an interest in meeting your wife to make it clear what the intentions are.

Cloud nothings?

Good point

Jezza, enjoy your threesome

Ah sweet affirmation, that’s exactly what I was thinking. I have no flirt game these days so I know I wasn’t leading her on.

This is where you’ve went wrong. Decades of mediocre stand-up comedians have reinforced the idea in the popular consciousness that visiting the in-laws is an unpleasant thing to do. What you’ve basically said to her is “I hate being married, I wish I’d never done it, please rescue me from this.”

Think the lunch thing was because she works quite close to my office.

I definitely shouldn’t have said ‘take my mother-in-law… please’ should I?

Yeah but she’s still picking an activity that’s just you, and pushing for it quickly. If it was just friendship it would be more like “oh it would be nice to have a catchup, would you and your wife like to go for a drink/meal some time?” and make sure there was a slight distance and casualness to it

Like maybe I’m more het up about keeping appropriate interpersonal boundaries and responding to unspoken undercurrents than a lot of people, but it all seems way inappropriate on her part to me.

I completely agree with you, as does my wife. We’re both quite laid back about this kind of thing but eyebrows were raised I can tell you.

There’s a certain kind of person who I dislike intensely who feels that their only power comes from making people fancy them, and do lots of small-scale inappropriate stuff like that to feel wanted/get their ego boosted, even (especially?) when they actually have no intention of getting involved.

Wow, that’s some next level neediness. I don’t get people who constantly drag drama kicking and screaming into their lives.

You still buy CD’s what?

I haven’t been drunk for a while but the other night my daughter forced me to spin round and round with her a lot. And then asked for a drink of water.

As I wove my dizzy way toward the kitchen I realised being that off-balance and clutching at the walls is definitely just as shit when you’re sober.

Yes, very, very needy. Not my cup of tea at all.

#71

mate, its just lunch FFS, whats up with meeting an old mate for lunch?

#72

If she was an old mate then I don’t think I would feel so odd about it all.

#73

are you meeting her for lunch?

#74

Dunno, prolly, I like the meal of lunch.
