New here, hi Chase and everyone.

Maybe a suggestion for an article, how to follow up with the colleague the days after.

A colleague of mine (who i have good rapport with in general) hit on me in a night club, quite out of the blue. It was basically plenty of bump and grind, holding hands with plenty of long long eye contact, nothing more from either of us as... she has a boyfriend. She never talks about him and never brings him along and the impression is that she needs an escape. How do you handle the following days/week following the event? I talked to her the next working day, seeing if she got home OK etc, we chatted a bit, acknowledged it was a fun night out. We passed in the corridor and she gave me a knowing look. A colleague of mine said he saw it coming, based on the last time we were out.

Asked her to lunch but she declined with good reason of being busy. I know this is the case from prior discussion. How hard would you press this scenario? Would you wait until the next outing and see if there is take 2? Would you bring up any of the specifics of what we got up to, how good she felt in your arms etc?

I'm torn between letting the sexual tension simmer (which could end up with expiry) or pushing it forward faster seeing where it goes. I don't want to chase but i do want to push it forward and i do want to be sensitive to the fact that she may be embarassed (no indication of that so far) or guilty (no indication of that either).

Any advice on how to proceed?

Thanks,

Hey Kavio,

Instead of asking for her to lunch at a specified time on your part, you should have asked what her schedule was like for the next week. That way she can let you know when she's available. If she just says her week is super tied up and can't meet that week, and its legitimate, she'll counter offer with a day the following week that works for her. If not, then she's either not interested or likes to play games.

As far as bringing up the last encounter, I'd probably not dive too much into it other than saying "I had a good time" or "we had a lot of fun together". Saying something like "You felt good in my arms" might come off needy, especially if she seems to have lost a little interest.

Best of luck,

-Doc

Hey, thanks for the reply.

I think thats basically how i see it. Having now already asked her for lunch and knowing that she is busy im going to leave it until next week and try again, if i get a similar dismissal im going to write it off.

Sound fair?
