Why can't I just take some cooking lessons and start buying food from the market to cook and bring to work for lunch? This really pissed me off today because she said this in a crowded break room during lunch time and I just let it go because I was too upset at the time. She claims I need a girlfriend so she can make me dinner and I can bring leftovers for lunch. That has to be the dumbest thing I ever in my life for a reason that someone needs to be in a relationship.

I don't think any woman needs a man or any man needs a woman especially if they are content with being single.

I felt so disrespected today as I was leaving the breakroom and just decided to keep going to my desk because I didn't want to curse her out. And i think I was more hurt than upset because she considered us friends last week and she embarrassed me in front of a crowded break room?

Do you agree that is a stupid reason for a man needing to be in a relationship?

Of course, but so is getting so emotionally worked up over it.

Could it be that she was flirting with you? Hinting that she could be that gf? If not, just shrug it off. If she ever makes another comment about your single status in front of a group, take her aside later, and tell her your personal life and choices are no one's business. And how does she know you don't have a gf, anyway? How would anyone know that?

Is it possible that you overreacted a bit to what she said?

People kid around all the time about things like this. I don't think that anyone would say it as the reason to be in a relationship.

She is making that assumption because of what I eat for lunch everyday.

Why do you care so much about what someone thinks who apparently doesn't really know a whole heck of a lot about you?

Her assumption was right. You don't have a GF.


Both of my husbands would eat crap if I didn't cook, so I can see some validity in the comment.

I think if it was just her and another woman in the break room I would not have been annoyed. But it was filled up today for some reason and I felt like she was trying to clown me which was kind of surprising since she we always have pleasant conversation with each other.

Don't let this little bit of trash upset you. She is not worth a thought. What on earth is her problem? Does she want to be that girlfriend? Next time ask her if she is volunteering for the job. That ought to shut her up but if it doesn't, think of some other comeback.

Or maybe say, I am having smart ones for lunch so I can have a really great dinner. It is none of her business who you are or aren't eating that great dinner with.

A friend and I often discussed how staying out of the break room was the best thing for anyone's career. Cook your meal and take it to a park bench.
