When did people start calling their co-workers workmates? Workmates just sounds wrong and I refuse to accept it. :|

Yes, tell her you wouldn't mind taking her sports coupe out for a spin around the block and then doing it in the ass.

No it doesn't. Just tell her you thought it looked awkward. i've done things like this before. Honesty is attractive too :)

I would definitely tell her the story, especially since she's an HR manager. You never know what could go wrong...

Yeah, if you're going to mention, don't sound all awkward about it or you'll just dig yourself in deeper.

I prefer to live in a card house of lies, thank you.

No, he shouldn't mention anything if he has to talk to her. Like someone else said, he shold wait for her to make the first move (if she even would).

Remember....it's not sexual harrassment if they want it. Only unwelcomed advances are frowned on...

she'll likely have a brain and have figured it out. People buy sporty cars just so that people stare (ie head-turning cars!). She probably realised you were checking the car out, but only waved to get your attention so that you know the car was hers.

Women can actually think, despite it not being externally obvious ;)

Next time you bump into her, compliment her on her car, and say "sorry if it looked like I was glaring at you, I just really like your motor". Boom! brownie points and awkward situation solved.

Or since you were looking from the back, you can tell her "Nice trunk." HR chicks love that :)

Next time it happens, just firmly rub your crotch. This is what a real man does when he sees a nice car and all women understand this. She'll reallise you are clearly more interested in the car, carry on with her day and you are in the clear. :thumbsup:

"Now the HR lady thinks I was checking her out"

Tell me again, how is it that you know she thinks you were looking at her?
Did she tell you or someone else that she thought that, or are you just guessing that she even noticed you were looking in that direction?

Sexual Harrassment FTL

That's what I'm afraid of. She was like three spots away, it was not her car. I'm married and have zero interest in her. I just don't want a rep as some stalker.

The car was some 350Z looking Lexus I think. It was small and black.

Edit: Maybe the 2006 SC?
In that case tell her the story, how it was "funny" because you didn't even notice her, you were so fixated on the car. Then play with your wedding ring while talking to her

LOL, I'd say 90% of the time girls think guys are checking them out, guys are staring at cars instead. LOL!

Sorry girls, we're more interested in things that take care of us back...;D
