Wait... what? First of all, why does he want to introduce you to her? Does he want you to date her or something? Idk man I’d be cautious. This situation seems a little fishy to me.

I think he wants me to date her...? I work a shitton on the road so I'm never really home. I told him i wasn't looking for a relationship as it wouldn't be fair to the other person if i wasn't there a lot. Kinda bullshit reason but like I'm so confused...

I’m sure you’ll be fine. When does he want you to meet her?
metalman · 5 years ago
I pretty much told him it wasn't going to happen but I'm sure this won't be the end of it. He was wanting to do a fish fry in like august and invite me and her family out to it.

So you are saying a gentleman that you work with told his wife that you are a good person and that he would like to introduce you to his grandaughter. Who is about your age. I am failing to see the problem. You could always tell him you are gay. Or you could take her to a movie or dinner.

Can you please get her number for me?

^there is always that one guy
Also I think he simply thinks you two'd be a good match
It's a common thing for some people (my people at least) to introduce single people to each others hoping they would make it

This happens all the time in the south and many other cultures do this as well. Usually it is a woman wanting to introduce you to a female relative. But men due it as well. You honestly should be flattered. This means they feel you are a good guy and they see you as a good provider. So them offering to have you met thier granddaughter is them saying they want someone like you to date her because they think you would treat her right. Worse thing could happen is you don't get along after the first meet and just explain to them though she seemed like a good person you just feel like you two don't have a lot of the same interests or something of that line. And hay you never know you might find out she is the one. I have a cousin who met his wife all thanks to his mom telling her hair dresser she should call him up. They now have twin baby girls and been married for going on 5 years.

Yeah, go for it. Nothing to lose and free fish fry.

If you're not comfortable with it then keep telling your coworker that you're not looking for a relationship. Although you could always meet her and see how it goes, remember that if you do find an interest and start dating, you are dating into the family of your coworker, which could cause some problems if things went south. In the end it isn't your obligation to take this opportunity so if you're not ready or feel like it isn't the right choice for you, then don't do it.

^@parisqeen that was my biggest concern, i work the same general area with this guy and he's best friends with my team lead. I don't think it would be a problem i just can't take the chance right now. I've got a good thing going
parisqeen · 5 years ago
Yeah then I wouldn't take the chance personally, even if it does go well it could still impact your relationship with this guy, especially if he's buds with your team lead then he has influence. The last thing you want is for your personal life to get entangled in your work life.
