Surely you should have said "I'm sure I could get you back before he notices" type thing?
Why not bring up the 'friends with benefits' argument.

OP, keep in touch with her.

She has let you know that you're only competing with her husband, not the rest of the bar. Play your cards right and when she trusts that you won't blab around the office, you'll be having great sex with her, when, where and how she wants it.

Let's recap.

He sat at a table at lunch with her.
They chatted.
He asked her what she did at the weekend, she gave a response.
She asked if he was going out after work on Friday.
At the pub she said hello...not really that unusual.
He made a pass.
It was rebuffed.

Now of course there might well have been an evening full of fluttering eyelashes, of doe-eyed submissive looks across the bar, of coquettish pouting and saucy flashing of décolletage. Hell, she might even have done the same back to the him.

Don't get me wrong, of course this thing goes on but from what's been described so far I think some of you are sketching in a hell of a lot of detail based on some basic human interactions.

I told you!

I take it you have already studied her facebook page - lingering on the photos of "Crete 2013", amirite? - and established theres no other Alpha Male already on the scene?

So I cut her off mid way and say "... I'd like to get to know you..". She looked puzzled and stated that we're were already doing that.

OP

You're in there, in a manner of speaking. Other half may not be happy if you stole her but she didn't rule out any borrowing.

She's a 40 something married milf, it's more likely a flash of her saggy tits and a drunken grope of his boaby during 'I Will Survive'.

Lousy chat up line. As a friend of mine used to say, you only need to say three things:

What's your name?
Where do you stay?
Do you fk?

He got a lot of slapped faces, but even more shags!

PH is a funny old place. Someone posts to say their wife is having an affair, and everyone posts to say she's a tart and he's a morally bankrupt scumbag and deserves to have his teeth kicked in for shagging poster's wife.

And here we have someone who tries to chat up a woman he fancies, she says she's married, so he walks away, and we're being told he's pathetic and she was clearly not ruling out an sexual encounter and he has let the side down by bowing out.


Or have I missed something.

It's great to have you here technodup.

That's spot on.

Thinking outside the box for a moment, (and I realise this might sound insane, but go with it) maybe she was being friendly in a sort of platonic way. Like some people are in work? Conversation and laughs rather than desperate tawdry affairs?

Looking back at my own working life, I've found it possible to cultivate a relationship with female colleagues based on being stuck in the same office or pub, -to pass the time or have a laugh without wanting to 'know them' up the arse. -Maybe she was like this?

OP

This why there are so many problems between men and woman, I have actually used a very similar line to someone who asked me out and basically what I really was saying

"never ever in a million years, not if you were the last person on earth and humankind depended on us having sex, no, not ever!!!!"

But most women don't like to be direct and will try to be gentle esp if they know they will be seeing the person again, hence leading to misunderstanding like this.

The only way to know her side of the story is send the link to her.

Probably this. If she is a 'stunner' then other men in the office might act awkwardly around her like the OP has done...

Ahm back in

For goodness sake!!

This happens all the time - OP has made a pass of sorts, its been rebuffed by an intelligent happily married woman with children. The end.

Time to stop all the innuendo and grasping at straws its worse than my schoolmate Andy who became a joke as he always thought he was 'in there' when a girl just glanced at him.

MARRIED
CHILDREN

Hello???

Why OP hadn't sussed this out before going down this route goodness only knows...

OP didn't know she was in a relationship. No ring.

Also I suspect she isn't married, merely in a relationship. If you are 40+ you're a little old to have a 'boyfriend' or 'girlfriend' partner sounds a little better.

Yes, my working life has been much like that too. Lot's of female colleagues, trips away, laughs, many friends made, but no sex. Because we're all happily married. Since I joined PH I've just assumed I worked in a weird place, and had a very odd marriage where we still like each other, but maybe there's others in the same boat.

Whatever, the OP should have found this out first. He's only getting this attention because his efforts were so cack handed. Oh and because he decided to ask the internet for advice.

What would you expect?
