By Worthless Waste of Skin Who Hates Himself - 30/04/2016 12:59 - Georgia - Tbilisi

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

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 wonder if she's one of those extreme feminists that hate men asking them out

Or if she's one of those human females that don't like being hit on by coworkers?

The OP could have taken been rejected badly and made the person uncomfortable. The OP may have asked in a creep/ rude demanding way. The OP could've done a number of things that caused the person to go to HR. We don't know the full story.

I am reminded of an SNL sketch where it's supposed training film about personal relationships in the workplace and the answer always boils down to - No matter what you do or say it's OK if you are good looking and sociable but not if you aren't. I'm not trying to say OP is unattractive or socially awkward, just that the gold standard for office behavior is "Does the person want your attention?" If they don't it's highly risky to do or say much beyond normal work conversation. Office relationships are highly risky because if it doesn't work out you are still stuck with being in the same environment unless one of you quits. For that reason, OP needs a social life outside the office.

Umm, she didn't have to agree. Maybe you made her feel uncomfortable and that's perfectly fine. God bless people with such self entitlement like you...

There's a huge difference between answering with, "Sorry, I'm not interested, thanks." and "No. *GOES RIGHT TO HR AND FILES A HARASSMENT COMPLAINT!!*" Honestly, even if she had just said, "No." without any niceties it wouldn't have been terrible. A little rude, sure, but I'm a huge fan of not ******** where you eat, so I really think you need to be careful about asking people out at work (especially during business hours). However, unless OP was sitting on the corner of her desk leering, touching her, and such, claiming harassment for being asked out for coffee seems a bit like overkill. Of course, we don't know HOW OP asked her out, so hey, maybe he did do that and she was justified.

Quite a few years ago I asked out a co-worker and we ended up getting married (still are). So if you think you are interested in someone it's worth the risk. Though I highly recommend establishing a friendship at work first. If she (or he) is not interested in a friendship, you can be pretty damn sure they're not interested in anything else either.
