My Married Coworker Asked Me To Go To the Bar With Her? Should I Go?

April 9th, 2010

Dear Jesus,

 I work at a car dealership and for the most part there are older people there as co-workers. But recently we hired a female sales person the same age as me. She’s always hanging around my desk and even asked me to goto the bar with her. Heres the catch she’s married. You think she just wants to pick my brain on how to sell cars? Should I just ignore her? or should I actually grab a drink with her one night?

Dear Francis,

That depends: is she hot?

Just kidding, just kidding. (But really, though: is she hot? You didn’t say…)

Anyway, Francis, there’s no harm in a drink after a stressful work day. I know how hard sales can be. You should try selling salvation sometime. I don’t even try to push the extended warranty anymore. Nobody wants it. Sin is so much sexier. It’s stressful, man.

So sometimes after a long day, I just need a drink. (Luckily I can just run some tap water and turn it into the finest Chardonnay.) Maybe this lady feels the same way: she just needs a drink. And maybe since you’re one of the only people close to her age, she feels a connection with you.

Now, once you’re at the bar with her, you have to pay attention to the clues to see whether she wants something more. Does she avoid talking about her husband? Does she play with her hair when she talks to you? Does she stick her tongue in your mouth? These are some of the subtle clues you can look for that indicate she might be flirting with you.

If she is flirting with you, don’t panic. This is what you do: start talking about me. For some reason, my name cools off flirtatious women faster than liquid nitrogen. Just tell her that you talk to me all the time, and that I make all of your decisions for you. Then discuss how great I am and how she should get to know me better as well.

She’ll probably lose all interest in you as anything more than a friend. If you talk me up enough, she might actually be interested in getting to know me. Which is a blessed thing.

Especially if she’s hot!

Thanks for the question,

JC
