Be smart and leave married guys alone.
My bet.... is that she finds another married coworker to have lunch with to teach this guy a lesson, hehehe.

Any takers/suckers?

I mean, it's so common. I've done it. Who hasn't? Work gets boring, person looks around, sees relatively attractive person nearby, mind wanders, tummy tingles. It must be love!!!

I agree with Sommie and snugglegirl... find a guy that's not taken and who shows up when he says he will.

It feels awkward now. I don't understand what happened.
He's a jerk and a married one looking for an ego boost. Don't go to lunch with married men unless it's a group thing. Don't go to lunch with jerks, period. If you waste time on your feelings being hurt....meh, don't know what to say.

Work is for work. This kind of drama at work isn't good if you want to stay employed. Don't s*it where you eat.

use the anger you have right now to hate him enough to get over him. He is a douche. Married douche.

Learn your lesson and don't do it again. And don't try to pay him back by being all cozy with a different guy from work, it might backfire.

Remember I told you guys about my married coworker (he's 38 - I'm 22) we went out to lunch once and then made plans to go out to lunch every other Thursday?

Well last Thursday I went to the restaurant and ordered my sweet tea. While I was waiting he called me and said that one of his workers was using his truck to go to a vendor, and he would be late coming to lunch. I asked if I should just leave and he said we can postpone. He said he was getting another call, took it, and that was it.

I left and went back to work. I ended up calling him later and asked him why he said yes to lunch, when it seems like he doesn't really want to go? It seems like he likes that I'm waiting around for him or something, or it's an ego boost. He got all phony and said "Ok! Thank you! Have a great day!" And hung up.

He ended up having to call me a little while later regarding something work related and I got annoyed and said he was phony earlier. And he said he was p*ssed because I said he likes that I wait for him, or it's an ego boost. He said doesn't like anyone to wait for him. And he said he enjoyed our lunch and he liked talking to me, it was nice not to be bitched at about work stuff and he feels like a new man. He said he would like to reschedule for Wednesday. I said Ok.

Well, Wednesday came - today! And it was our scheduled lunch time. I looked out the window to see if his truck was in the employee parking lot (because I was not going to sit and wait for him again). Sure enough his truck was in the employee parking lot. I called him and asked him "what's up!" he said "where are you?" I said "I'm at the office!" he said I don't see you" I said I'm in the back office. He said "I'm on my way!"

I didn't see him.

I don't know if he meant he was on his way to the restaurant or what. But we never went to lunch, he never brought it up or said anything to me. And I went back to work. (he was at work too).

I ended up seeing him a few hours later, my coworker was talking to him about work stuff and waved me over, I stood there while they talked and I thought he would say something then but he didn't. He didn't even look at me.


I don't know what happened, or what's up with him. My feelings are hurt, and I just feel rejected as a person. I mean he said he enjoyed talking to me and he rescheduled lunch for today and then nothing came of it.


I don't know what to make of it. Maybe he didn't want to go in the first place? So he tried to ditch me.
But why say all those things and reschedule? Only to stand me up and not say anything. I don't understand.
I don't know what to think, either. But I will say that this is not professional behavior. Stop having any sort of personal relationship with him. Just keep it strictly professional.

You're just immature and extremely naive.

You'll learn one day.

OP if you don't learn now you will be miserable for the rest of your life. Go find a guy that is not married. Not hard is it?
