whoa...this was said in a meeting? In front of people? In some situations thats harrasment! Christ, you can't even hug in most corp HQs.
haha...wtf? This sounds like something that would be said on Mad Men. But in a present-day office? Wow.
Wow, that's....incredibly inappropriate. I don't care if she's single or not, a comment like that should have been a bit off-putting. The fact that she didn't call him on it makes me think it was welcomed. Which makes me think she's actually interested. Which makes me think maybe you should consider talking about this with her. Which makes me glad I'm not single anymore.
If that guy had said something like that around some of the women I work with, he would be hit with a harassment suit so fast that it would make his head spin, lol.
If you guys are dating then just one of those things where if she is free spirted then nothing you can do just make sure you win out at the end. If you guys are b/f g/f then I would make it into a joke but make your point just don't put it on her instead on him for making the comment.
Exactly. OP, find a woman with a better sense of humor or with more of a spine at least. Ignore my earlier post.
What a dumb thing to say, but either way, why didnt' you say something like "dude, you shouldn't talk like that to a lady" or something innocent like that...If it bothers you, just tell her in a non threatening way so she knows how you feel... Or just kick that dude in the nuts...
If the policy is as you stated before, no dating contractors etc.. and her boss is out to get her; don’t be surprised if you’re not going to be going to any happy hours as her date. She will probably still want to keep it hush hush.
Stop being jealous over stupid things. Seriously, I see too many guys sabotage relationships by becoming jealous over total non-issues. That joke is a non-issue in the context of you relationship. Shrug it off and move on.
i agree with this. she spent the night last night and i didn't mention it, or think about it. when i dropped her off at work today, she had no problems kissing me goodbye regardless of who might be watching. she's even considering cutting her trip short to come back and spend the rest of her time off with me.
He couldn't really say anything because, as someone else pointed out, it could have been a joke in a total non-sexual way (flipping the middle finger). If he speaks up and says he doesn't think it was appropriate, that immediately tells everyone else where HIS mind is. Kind of a damned if you do damned if you don't thing.
LOL, I can't believe I missed this the first time around. Where the hell do you work? A car dealership? Did he sniff his finger after he said it? And then wink at the girl? I can't imagine a joke like this going over in my workplace without a lawsuit.
I dont think this is much to worry about...and I do agree with DD's comment, that would have been the perfect reply. Having said that, the guy's comment is really out of line in the work place and the fact that she didnt make a disgusted face or something along those lines...not sure what she's thinking there.
