Amity: Oh dear....well, why did you snog some other guy? was it because you found out he was moving?


I snogged him because I had too much to drink moping No excuse, I know. At that stage I didn't know about the guy I like moving.

I feel really depressed about the whole thing now.

I can't imagine not being able to see him every day ...

What does "snogged" mean Orla?

Well...that settles it then, the guy that worked with you knew that he was leaving that job and didn't want to start a relationship because of that fact. So, at least it isn't a rejection of you as a person. That's something, isn't it?dunno

"Snogged" just means kissed .... but more than a peck on the cheek if you know what I mean.

I haven't completely given up on the other guy ... but I'm just going to have to grow a pair of balls really soon or else my chance will be gone dunno laugh

It might. Make sure you have a close shave before you meet and use a nice aftershave.

felixis99: they were talking to my ex-at the time , my ex-husband, not to me. For me, it would be inappropriate to bust into a bunch of bawdy man lockeroom type talk. I have no interest in sharing dirty comments with a bunch of drunk friends of my (ex) husband.

IDK if they REALIZED I was there at those times as I was often in the next room.

They spent plenty of time talking to me.... otherwise (when they should have been with their wives and girlfriends prolly )


You seem to have a lot of exes....No prizes for guessing why you are on here.....chill out a little...you are entitled to your opinion, but so is everyone else...

I can understand that you liked him but its not as if you were going out with him or in love with him so although i can see how you will miss seeing him for a while there are lots more nice guys around.

Orla2010: Why can't asking someone out be pain free?! I want to .... but I can't!!!



For all the positive advice and support you been given since posting this, you have gone and done the complete opposite....It's tiresome now...I wonder if this guy really exists, or is this just an attention seeking thing...

Time to grow up..!!!

Orla, that's quite a long time to have known someone, worked closely with him and still you don't have a clue if he likes you. If he's not made a move in 18 months, I don't think he will. Unfortunately, he may have just seen you as a co-worker and now again..unfortunately, a soon-to-be ex-co-worker.

Sorry, dear..it just doesn't sound too promising.comfort

Well if you do feel that strongly for him then you will have to make your feelings known. I read what you said in the Irish thread and no one likes rejection and it hurts like hell believe me i know but for your own sake you are as well off to know either way. Dublin and cork is a fair distance for a relationship if you both decide to make a go of it but it can also work if both ppl feel the same. Best of luck either way Orla.

Thanks handshake

I think I will just bite the bullet and make a move at his leaving do (I hope he has one).

I wouldn't be on a dating site if I didn't have a fear of rejection ... but I guess it's a problem a lot of us have. I just find I clam up when I talk to a guy I really like and I can end up coming across as really cold, even when that is the last thing I want to be. I want to be smiley and friendly and ask him interesting questions but I just get tongue-tied and super shy.

I live in hope anyway

Dont leave it to the leaving do.. your wasting time you can have together before he goes, if he feels the same way..

you need to bite the bullet and tell him, it can either go 2 ways.. and if he dont feel the same, well least you wont have the embarrassment of seeing him at work.... and if if does like you, well who knows, we might all be buying a hat wink


go on.... go for it!!... we dare you, hug
