Why is it a closely guarded secret who this band are?

Their first is in the skies but never in full voice etc

Great bit of balance, thanks guys!

Obviously I shan’t be having an affair but I would like to be friends with her? I don’t know. We’ll see how this plays out. I feel like I can’t trust anybody that I can’t track on an app these days.

Operation Yewtree, you’ve done it again!

copied from the old DiS (r.ip.)

wrote my car off years ago and the insurance sorted a courtesy car,
part of the deal was they’d come and pick me up on the first day of use
and drive me down to their local europ car hire office to sign the
paperwork, pick up the keys etc

the girl who picked me up was outrageously attractive and i spent the
first half of the journey making shit small talk, it took about half an
hour to get to their office so i’d relaxed and felt we’d built up a bit
of a rapport by the time we got there and she was showing me round the
courtesy car

feeling buoyed by the fact she’d laughed at a few of my jokes i was
planning to ask if she’d like to go for a drink sometime just as she
asked me to turn on the engine.

i hadn’t realised it was parked in 1st gear so the car shot forward
about 5 feet and narrowly missed smashing into the rear of another car
parked in front, genuinely felt like my face was going to self-immolate
from the beamer i was taking and i got the fuck out of there as quickly
as i could, thankfully she wasn’t working when i had to return the car
later that week

I dunno, I feel like you’re giving off strong “back off, I’m married” signals here, and she’s kind of ignoring them.

#54

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.

Good point

Jezza, enjoy your threesome

#57

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.

#58

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.

#66

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