It's friendly teasing even though she be signaling that she's interested. I knew this female that would always mention that I should get a girlfriend. "You're cooking that wrong, you need a girlfriend. The back of your couch is dirty, you need a girlfriend. You need to decorate your living room, you need a girlfriend" Later on, I find out that she liked me and she was giving me clues.

OK .....I deleted my post and you can delete quoting me just in case...BUT:

Depends on where he works, what state he is in, how good or if he has representation......and how offended he was with what would now be the two harrasing attacks in the workplace on his personal lifestyle.

The originator of the harrasing dialog (her) would get the hand slap...

Probably, "why can't you make your salad?
So. . . now that you're moved into your new apartment, why can't you go back to the one lady who liked you so much? If I remember, the excuse was that you didn't have time to date b/c you needed to find a new place to live. She might even make your lunch.

He's not looking for someone real. If you check out his other thread, what he is looking for is an online companion, only.

If the lunch lady had asked for his internet identity, I think she would have gotten farther.

This woman made a joke and the OP got upset by it what you find funny the next person will take it the wrong way. This woman should just find a guy who likes those types of jokes. Saying the wrong thing can easily turn a person even if you mean no harm by it. No big deal.

I feel as if given this, it's possible the OP is deliberately being offended by anything that might be RL flirting, in order to be sure to maintain distance while having a "good reason" to do so.

I can't say that for sure. Just something to think about, OP. If you don't want an in-person relationship that is TOTALLY fine but be sure you aren't blaming the next person just so you can keep women away from you. That's pretty unfair. If this is your decision, own it. You are an adult and fully allowed to make a decision like this.

I encouraged her to date someone else because of all the drama at the time.

I've only browsed through a couple of pages of replies, but, I just want to say, two of my male co-workers used to not bring lunch, at all. When they got themselves a gf, all of a sudden, they're packing full lunches with snacks and all. It was either their gf prepared it or they did it together and they have leftovers. I would make comments saying, "Damn, I need a gf!" I'm a girl and not a lesbian or bi. It was to reiterate the fact that, gf = lunch made.

It's not that gf's are your personal chef, but from my personal experience, I see it happen. Obtaining a gf led to having lunch that's not microwavable or bought from a fast food.

I myself have made those type of jokes. It was a joke. I guess I never thought it's actually offensive to anyone. If someone made a joke in my behalf and everyone laughed, meh.
