how old are you?

I'm where I should be. Well, let's just say that I'm an undergrad who went to college immediately - and are of legal age to drink. ;)

I'm not 21, though.

well, what is keeping quality women of your age away from you? besides AT ;)

I dunno. I easily get intimidated by girls, typical of you normal college ATOT'er, and honestly, I just haven't found someone that I really, really like.

I also think that the venues I go to (clubs/loud LOUD bars) are to fault. Unfortunately, most, if not all the bars around campus are this way, and there's not that many chicks in a philosophy class . . .. :(

If he starts to hit on you or tries to proceed on you, just be like "Dude, I really don't swing that way and I would appreciate if you would understand that and respect my wishes." If he was mature about it, he would understand and leave it at that and move on. IMO, that's the way to go since you work with this guy.

My additional advice would be to only have one drink, then switch over to Cokes. See how the night goes. If you drink too much, it might put you in a bad situation. ;)

stop using words like these, and you'll be on your way to attracting females and not males.

Word!

I second this motion. There is obviously something gay about yourself, and this is one thing that stands out. If you can't get anyone to like you, you might need to inspect yourself...

If you don't know, just ask him if he wants to make out. If he's gay, he'll go for it, and if he's not, then he'll be pissed and tell everyone at work that YOU'RE gay.

This person goes out of his way to be pleasant to you.He makes work a more congenial place,he gives you and your roomate things that ease your fiscal situation.He's introduced you to his woman and invited you to hang out several times with them and you're here posting this crap?I'd say you should tell him how you feel,maybe the poor guy can find more worthy people at work to be cordial to.

Uh huh - so I went over to a friend of mine's after I show up at the bars, and he calls - so I ignore it, and shortly after, he calls again - oh yeah - he calls again this morning.

He doesn't make the workplace a more congenial place - he butts in on places where he has no place and misdirects people under me that I have to correct.

He gave us beer, and some tapestry from his other (actual) job. It's some really really nice beer, the import brand that no-one knows about outside of Germany, but nothing that'll ease our financial situation. I don't have the urge to drink in the first place. The tapestry we don't need. I could give a rat's ass if I didn't have one, but he offered, so I took it. Granted, it's nice, but it did not help our "financial situation". He offered to give us other things, but the way he's acting, it's as if I owe him my company for receiving such things - so I decline most of the time, until he throws it in my fvcking lap.

I met the fiancee once on a parking lot. He only invites us (me and roommate) when she's away.

So you have no idea about what is actually going on and you post this crap? I'd say you posted more than enough advice on this topic, maybe you can find a more worthy topic to be posting on.

Here's some advice: stop saying "gay" as a gratuitous, loose negative term. That's very thoughtlessly mean spirited and rude to our members.

I got a vacation for saying "gay" when not referring to "homosexual". Thanks for the mercy, mods.
