Master Don Juan
Hey guys, I just joined because I need help figuring out what to do in this situation I am in.
I work for my parents small business, we have an account rep that just got us set up for one of the shipping carriers at the beginning of the year. Shes very attractive but the only problem is that she just got married about a year ago. If any of you have a problem with that part then you can probably just stop reading. First off, I am not pursing her. Second, I was cheated on a few years ago and it taught me that if you dont keep her happy its partially your fault that shes looking elsewhere. Im not trying to be an a$$hole about this.
Now I just need help to see if you guys think she is really looking for something more than a work relationship or not. I cant be forward with her like I normally would be since it would really mess things up with the company she is repping.
These points arent in any real order, just as they come to mind.
1. She has taken me out to lunch twice now, she always sets it up. Both times during lunch she brings up that her husband is out of town or will be out of town that weekend. Very casually though, she doesnt just come right out and say it. I dont know if this is just coincidence or not. Also, its always just me and her. Usually when a rep takes me out to lunch my mom also comes (owner of the company). When we are out to lunch it is about 95% personal talk and 5% business.
2. After lunch she always texts me right away, like yesterday we leave and within 3-4 minutes she texts me "Thanks D ". I know for a fact that she was driving, rushing to an appointment that she was going to be late for if she didnt hurry.
3. When texting she uses a lot of hehes and smilies. Might just be how she texts but she is someone that takes being professional very seriously.
4. She will text me on Thursday with a "happy almost friday!" or happy fridays eve" those are just two examples. Lots of random little texts like that just to get a convo going, no mention of work most of the time.
5. When she comes to visit every once in a while she is very friendly with me to the point where most of the people I work with say that she has a thing for me after she leaves.
Now there are a few counter points that have me guessing what her real intentions are.
1. She does talk about her husband, not a lot but enough to make me wonder. If any of you guys have expirience with something like this, does the woman bring up her husband ever?
2. On the first lunch she was talking about how a manager at another business was hitting on her supervisor. Basically went on to say "luckily that doesnt happen too often in business". But I kinda got the feeling that she might have said that to see what my reaction would be.
3. Yesterday I tried to pay for her lunch since she paid the first time. I put my card down and she insisted that she pay for herself. I told her I owed her for last time and she said that was not nessicary. The only thing I can think of is that it would be because she is someone who wants to feel validated and like she is equal with men.
So if you read all this, please let me know what you think. Im sure there are a lot of little things I am leaving out. Just hoping that one or a few of you have a good way for me to figure out what her intentions are without being obvious.
