I’m just here for the photos. Definitely lacking so far

I agree. OP sounds like a right studmuffin. I want to see what he's offering this swarm of forthcoming ladies.

I think you’ll find kimbers had that covered on page 1

Ah, point.

I've met Pete, and I don't understand either. 😁

No worries Rusty, in hindsight I can see how you might have been a bit apprehensive about the responses. I hope that amongst the responses you found some helpful comments!

Page 2 and no-one’s suggested a threesome, standards indeed.

I posted about halfway down the 1st page

The difficulty is trying to remain good friends. Always tricky, but hopefully she will realise that.

I got on really well with a younger lass at work, but she also got on with my wife. I said to my wife she was like a little sister rather than another woman.

RS - you are a lovely chap and this lady has taken friendship for something more. Maybe she's insecure and thinks you feel the same as her.
Tell Her quickly with kindness but be firm.

Sounds like you've already done it.

No drama.

I’m a bloke in a predominantly female working environment.
I’ve always, always made it clear that I have no interest in a relationship with any of my colleagues.

If you become too friendly they might misread your signal as being available? Yes, No?

We became very good friends whilst studying for our degree.

hhhmmm ... how good is very good?

She’s been round to our house, I know her family and she knows mine.

In far east culture, that's a sign of checking you up to see if you are the candidate.

I had no idea that she felt this way until she made it physically obvious.

Give us the detail of the physical nature. Shake hands?

This was a few months ago.

Sounds like she has been waiting for a while to have the courage to make the move.

I had to tell her that her attention was less than welcome.

hhhhmmm ... is your verbal rejection consistent with your physical rejection?

No harassment.

Sounds like she just had a moment of weakness.

Question to all, how do you know if a person is attractive or not? I seem to lose the ability to distinguish between attractive or otherwise. For example, the 90s TV presenter Siân Lloyd, when I first saw her on the telly I practically laughed non-stop because she looked "funny" (I stopped laughing once I found out she was meant to be attractive). Also, is Kylie Minogue attractive or just a sweet girl?

We've both been here for over a decade and I still genuinely can't work out whether you have a split personality disorder or an opium habit.

You can be sensible and rational at times. Grasp those times. They're much nicer.

Is she hot? !!!

She is probably embarrassed about the whole thing - just let it go and act as if it didn't happen.

No need to escalate anything - unless she starts being a bunny boiler.

I’ve kept my wife informed.

Brave man. I wouldn't be doing that - I'd rather chop my left testis off. Not because I'd be hoping there might be some side action, but because I couldn't stand the hassle. Because ultimately it would be my fault - I must be giving off the wrong signals at work; I must look like I was interested therefore probably am. etc etc. Then somehow it would be my fault if I had to go away with work...even if the person in question is not there "according to you". And potential frostiness at any social thing where partners are involved. Nope, taking a mild risk of something coming out later is way preferable in my shoes to the inevitable hassle of doing the seemingly right thing.

As my good mate used to say the more is being said, the more "ammunition" is given for future use and they never forget. Never.
Whatever happened at work stay at work unless the "boss" requires a "report" of work at home.
Also reporting can be interpreted as sub/unconsciously guilty.

Well, if your partner does themselves a mischief laughing so hard at the prospect of you being considered a catch, that trust is very easily won eh Cougar 😘

😁 well played.

In seriousness though, I find Chewkw's notion of a grown adult requiring "permission" for things just odd. If you can't be honest with your partner, "there's a lass at at work who said she likes me, I told her I was happily married so she said 'oh, sorry' and went away again, what time does Pointless start?" then that doesn't strike me as particularly healthy.

If it does come out in the wash and you'd never said anything, surely that's far worse. Why were you hiding it? What else might you be hiding?

Right I know Pete (Rusty Spanner & his wife Sue) and they are one of the most genuine couples you could wish to meet.

I'm guessing Pete's admirer likes a chap who is

  1. quite beardy.
  2. not that tall.
  3. passionate about a whole load of stuff.
  4. a friend of binners 😉

When Eric Cantona said ‘when the seagulls follow the trawler it is because they know that sardines will be thrown into the sea’ he was actually referring to me following Pete around, with him leaving a trail of heartbroken laydeez in his wake

I even tried growing a beard but it just looked like I’d put my head on upside down

Both, actually. She is a very attractive woman, but everything I’ve ever read about her from people who’ve met her all say she’s a genuinely sweet and warm person.

*sigh* such fond memories of the Friday Kylie thread…

Hey chaps - there's more to women than looks you know. I've met some stunning women in my life (through my job) and some didn't have a brain cell or personality between them. :O)

Honestly, the thing I've always found most attractive in a woman has been what's between her ears. I'd happily date someone who "wasn't the best" physically, but I couldn't cope with someone who was thicker than a whale omelette.

(fortunately I've managed to land someone who is both intelligent and gorgeous, quite what she's doing with me (as someone else alluded to yesterday) I don't quite know.)

Keeping the missus informed is definitely the right move. It takes away any chance of the other person dropping you in the shit if she starts to go a bit bunny boiler about it.

For whoever said on the previous page they wouldn't tell the missus because it would give her more ammo in future - you've got bigger issues than the OP.

If Mrs Spanner and you have a good relationship she will know these advances are unwanted and not asked for. Try to be compassionate, but there is a fourth party here - your employer. Hopefully you won't need to involve them, but don't leave it too late if things get more intense.

Or you could just get it all over and done with in a big, cocaine-fuelled three-ball.

🤷

I walked past her as she was chatting to someone in M&S Mumbles a few weeks ago. I only noticed because of her voice really. She's still a good looking woman - I just Googled her, she's 64 now.
