Today, I finally got the courage to talk to this coworker I like and ask her out for a coffee next door. She was dismissive, cold and rude, and filed a complaint with HR. FML

Today, after many years of being single, I finally worked up the courage to ask my coworker out. He said no and gave me "fair warning" that he's going to report me for sexual harassment. FML

Today, I asked one of the girls at work out on a date. She responded by filing a harassment complaint. Now, I can't speak to her at all without being written up. FML

Today, I worked up the courage to ask my crush out for coffee after work. She agreed and I confidently said, "Alright, it's a date!" She replied, "Haha, a date with you? I'm just going for the free coffee!" FML

Today, I confessed my feelings to the girl I like, who also happens to be my coworker. She told my boss, and they're laughing about it as I type this. FML

Today, I had a conversation with the cute girl I like at work for the first time. I told her I worked in the camping department of the store, and we had a long chat about how she heard that the guy who runs that department is a complete dick head. I am the guy who runs that department. FML

Today, I saw a cute girl working register at my regular coffee shop and politely asked the her for her number. I was brutally rejected. A few minutes later, a douchebag with a popped collar approached her with a cheesy pickup line and left with not only her number, but a free frappe. FML

Today, I confronted my coworker, who I had a crush on, for lying to me. He’d told me he was gay when I asked him out. He’s now dating another coworker of mine who’s a woman. He took this up with my boss, and I was written up for “creating a hostile work environment.” FML

Hey

Today, I decided to step out of my comfort zone and talk to my coworker because people have been saying I’m too shy. I say, "Hey" to a girl and she made fun of my voice. She’s the one who told me to talk more. FML

Today, I tried hitting on the new receptionist at work. After a few flirtatious comments and subtly hinting that I thought she was bangable, she informed me that she's married to our boss. FML

Today, I was chatting with the girl of my dreams, a real heart-to-heart. Everything was going great, and I asked her if she'd like to get coffee together sometime. She immediately backed away and excused herself, mumbling something about not dating left-handed people. Huh? FML

I think this really depends on how you asked her and how creepily you've been crushing on her from afar.

Throw some DIY coffee packs on her desk and tell her she can make her own coffee.

I have a feeling we're not hearing the whole story, especially since she complained to HR. I think he was overly creepy and may have possibly been scarily watching her "from afar" for her to be so rude

I have a feeling we're not hearing the whole story, especially since she complained to HR. I wonder if he thought she was rude and cold because she said "No" and he reacted badly to her refusal to go out with him

Yeah, no one's fault really. Not her's for misinterpreting, not yours for potentially coming off too strong. Really, it's just a bad situation. Don't fret, OP.

If she had grounds to file a complaint, YDI. I'd have just pressed the Button if there was one.

Someone liked me at one job and it was awkward having my biggest fan constantly hitting on me. I was in a relationship. Tried to play it all off as a joke. Didn't stop him trying to make moves on me one day. Stopped talking to them altogether after that. Creepy. Then there was another guy who would touch my hips. I laid a complaint about him. Some men think attractive women owe it to them to put up with their advances. Nah. They can actually go get lost. I'm at work to work.

Filed a complaint simply because she didn't like being asked to go for a coffee? Talk about overkill. She obviously wasn't taught the value of good manners when she was growing up! I would've at least said yes to the one coffee (as it's not like it was declared an official date or an orgy, FFS)! Don't get upset over her, though as there are lots of nice ladies out there that I'm sure would at least take you up on your offer. =o)

The OP could've not taken being rejected well or did something to cause them to go to HR. I highly doubt we got the whole story.

Do. Not. Ask. Out. Coworkers. Seriously just about every company in the United States puts this in the Employee Handbooks. It's sexual harassment. The reason we ask people on dates is because we want to have sex with them at some point so asking a co-worker out is telling them "I want to have sex with you"
