Well, we'll call him "Work Guy" lol. We've only met a few times - he works in the same department but at a different facility. We are combining the 2 facilities in the Fall though... We've emailed back and forth quite a bit and even had a bet going - loser had to buy ice cream - but we haven't followed through on the bet yet. (I lost and he said to let him know when I was going to pay up - but I feel like he's the guy... if he really wanted to hang out he'd set something up right?). One of his friends from work called me the other day and mentioned that Work Guy told him about our bet - so I took that as a good sign, that he's talking about me. But he hasn't actually asked me out so I'm not sure what to think. Plus we are in the same department so I'm not sure what's in our handbook about office relationships. Who knows, I don't know all that much about him - he could have a girlfriend or may not be interested!

Bravo to you for actually manning up and talking about your problems. I also find it hard to date someone who can't talk something out. I end up panicking and freaking out when someone won't get back to me when there's a problem. I HATE IT! LOL.

Dating someone from work could be okay. It depends who it is and how closely you work with them. Tell us more!

Well I took your advice and talked to him. To make a long story short, he basically said he was really sorry about how he handled it and shouldn't have just shut me out like he did. He said he's been thinking about things a lot the past couple days and has really regretted the way things played out. We both agreed that we still have feelings for eachother but don't know if we can get past our differences, especially "fighting style". He is the type to just ignore his problems for a few days and takes the time to think about things and cool down, where I am the type that wants to fix things right away. Both have their ups and downs, but I don't know that I can be comfortable in a relationship with him if I'm always worried that every time we get into an argument he will just shut me out for days. I put myself out there and said well maybe we could go see a movie this weekend or something - and he basically said its a really busy weekend for him and he'll see if he can make time. Whatever. I feel like it being such a new relationship that there shouldn't be big issues like this already...
Also, I wanted to ask your guys' advice about dating someone from work... is it taboo?

WAIT A MINUTE! He just said he'd meet you halfway and talk about it. So now WHO is not being the adult? If he wants to talk about it, you need to listen. And maybe if you guys work out this one problem, then future problems will not be as hard to work out. I feel like in relationships people are so fast to walk away when something goes wrong that when you meet a person who actually wants to talk about it, you need to do it. It may be painful. He may say bad things about you. He may say he's sorry and a douche. But just TALK TO HIM!

Well he text me yesterday and asked if I wanted to talk about how I behaved over the weekend. He still feels like I ditched him. I think at this point I'm just done though. I was so sad and hurt that he would just ignore me like that and not even give me a chance to explain. We are both adults. It's not how you solve problems. I mean is this how it will be every fight we get into? I'm just not looking for that type of relationship. Its super frustrating though... always failing at relationships... Maybe its me
