Current Events > Do you ever pick up on subtle yet obvious signs...

(+) Yeah! (+)

from someone else that hint that they would like to shag you, but can't because they're "married"? I myself have faced such a predicament, but always err on the side of sound ethics.

no, i only ever pick up on the hints 3 weeks after it's too late

Yes. Although in my case it wasn't all that subtle. One of my previous coworkers was very clearly flirting with me. To the point that even my other coworkers noticed (and pointed out) that she was into me. She was 100% my type too, but yeah, I don't mess with married women.

No, i'm a fucking moron about that.
Even if they are obvious hints I don't pick up on it.

Which is fine by me, I'm happily married.

I take it you're a person possessing sound ethics who equally wouldn't engage.

I'm usually aware and only pretend that I'm oblivious either if I'm not interested or don't currently feel that it's worth it.

Yes, this is quite the predicament. Don't shit where you eat kinda thing.

Oh nah, I have no problem with the work part of it. I've asked out one of my coworkers before. She rejected me and we're still friends, no biggie. I just don't like cheaters and I won't help someone cheat.

Normally, but then I also do the exact wrong thing in that moment.

"Hey, come sit next to me"
"Na, I'm good here"

Makes sense. Although I still think dating a co-worker could get messy, especially if they're on the same floor/department. Better off if one leaves the company IMO but to each their own.

I just act completely oblivious, even when they step well into my personal space zone/touch my shoulders/back. There's kind of this insane sexual tension in the air. I'm a single dude who's been divorced a while, so I am tempted to smash..... but then the ethics buzzer goes off.

I've incorporated things into my behavior in order to mitigate this. Women find me attractive for a lot of superficial reasons or more likely a witches curse, but then I destroy their romantic interests with how I act and everything about who i am as an actual person. Sometimes, they're not repulsed by that enough so I bring up how awesome my wife is more often. If they make it through all of those, they're welcome to their crush. Feel free to take care of yourself while you think of me. You earned it.

Single me just banged them all. It made life overly complicated. So many awkward morning pancakes.

Ironically the things you think push them away actually draw theses heathens closer! (Acting aloof or distant). The way to do it is just pretend youre a desperate clingy nice guy but then act all awkward and shy when it comes to intimacy. That will make them run in the other direction most of the time I suspect.
