Well, companies can have polices, but in real life, people meet people at work and people date or whatever...... I mean you spend 8 hrs a day in that environment, it can be hard to not get attracted to someone you may work with...

I think in the real world things operate differently than what companies "want".... life is what it is.

I personally have tried to avoid doing it, but it was easy for me cause I work in a heavily male dominated industry so it wasn't really an issue for me personally.... but yeah.....

Assumption: She is a relatively attractive female in her 20s and has a lot of other options. Opinion: She would rather explore her other options while stringing you along and she is using your behavior as a justification for doing that. Recommendation: I do not have any good recommendations other than to date other women if you can. Attractive women in their 20s are the rulers of the dating world.

I agree with this assessment.

It isn't what worked for her or is what she does so naturally it's wrong. You must be a cave man to think this way you relic ugga ugga




Keep your personal crap out of work, If you cant do that dont date coworkers. It's great in theory.
But most people do not follow this, Their lives and their work are too involved with one another to "have" lines. Asking 20 something's to not form crushes or flirt with coworkers is never going to happen...for obvious reasons.

Then why did you drink a large quantity of alcohol? Getting blackout drunk is not normal. If you don't address that problem first, you'll probably never have a real shot with her, or any quality woman.

First, never intertwine your work life with your personal life, and especially never drink with co workers or date them.

Respect her decision & back off. She's over it, move on.

And no one gets blackout drunk "by accident" as the OP says. What, you tripped and shots just fell down your throat? Own your behavior and think about how much you want to be "that guy" who's an obnoxious, sloppy mess in social situations, especially when you're socializing with coworkers.

This ^^^ is the only thing here that you have any control over. She will come back to you if she wants to, but you can't make her. If you hate that person, I imagine he's not that attractive to others either.

Stop getting "blackout drunk." The way you refer to it in your post, it obviously has happened enough times that you KNOW it's not a good thing. It's not an accident and there are no excuses, so cut it out.
