I've been on and off with this coworker of mine. Things were cool. I saw her after work and she wanted to have dinner. She follows me and we get to the place.
One thing I notice about her is that she always has a drink or two with her meal. So we were talking about an account that I was helping her team with, being the technical operations point of contact for it, and she was talking. I interjected a few times with "yeah" to her. Just something subconscious.
She got upset "Stop saying yeah, it's like you are not listening". I gave her a bit of a smart ass answer and said that we work at the same company and we are talking about the same subject and account. I'm not ignoring you.
Her "You can just go home". "You're not my boyfriend".
This has been one of my issues with her for a while. She comes off as needy/whiny/emotional. She is REALLY into me unfortunately, but I cannot deal with her headcase issues and how she acts. It brings a side of anger that I don't like to show to people.
She has commented on the "yeah" thing before several months ago and that's my way of listening. Just saying guys don't waste your time!
This is why you don't get involved with co-workers.
It will go on and on until you get fired because you're too busy avoiding her that you don't really do any work anymore.
Lady I get it. The way she was talking to him was disrespectful to anyone, man or woman. But why you insist on gender neutralizing a topic that was clearly dating, sex, and gender based is beyond me.
Yes she does really like me. I really was not ignoring her. I've never dealt with a woman like this before. I told her she has stress or anxiety issues.
I even told her I wasn't ignoring her...I'm trying to figure out what I did wrong.
Casual dinner but she has feelings for me that are very strong and we were working things out.
Look, don't even worry about it. Some people will just lash out at you for no apparent reason. It doesn't always mean you did something, it just means that there is some issue with that person.
I'm a lot like this. Often times, someone would just kinda lash out or act in ways that would make me figure that he or she has some kind of problem with me, I sometimes want to inquire what I may have did wrong, but often times, if he or she perceives that I've done something wrong, that person will tell me.
It's not, I know why you do it, I just find it silly. The world is not gender neutral and neither was the OP
Has nothing to do with the OP and everything to do with a particular poster saying that women should learn how to speak to men. You don't get it, and I'm finished trying to explain it to you. Good luck to you!

Then stop replying. The woman in question did need a lesson in talking to men. Period
It's commonplace for coworkers to date/marry where I'm at. Our rule is 1) be single 2) no one in your direct chain of command.
She pursued me, I didn't say no is my fault because that is my rule too.
