I Had a Bad Date

Went out with the older guy from work (55 yrs old) and as much as I wish the chemistry would be there, it's not. We aren't compatible. He actually is quite bossy and think he knows best when it comes to things in the workplace. He started telling me how to do my job and criticized my work. I told him he's not my boss and could tell he didn't like that. He basically in so many words told me my boss doesn't know what she's doing..He recently got promoted and I think the power is getting to his mind. When I kissed him goodbye at the end of the night I playfully bit him and scratched his neck (not hard) and he yelled at me to stop. I've never been yelled at by who I'm dating for the way I express affection, so it was off putting. Overall it just isn't going to work out and now things at work are tense. I should've never gone through with this, but now I know.

@waleskinder I know :( it was a bad idea...

@waleskinder I tell people this...but they don't want to hear it.

Well I will not repeat what others have said because I think you got the message. But I will say should of some how warned him what you were about to do to him because some people are not into biting and scratching. And you never know what he could be telling others. It might be time to be looking for new work.

@retrowaves Well you better hope he is a man of his word and does not say anything to anyone at work. Well the age thing the heart wants what the heart wants,
retrowaves · 31-35, F
@updown2020 I don't really care if he says anything because I'm ending it with him anyway

@retrowaves I wouldn't worry about it. If he is in a job with a higher "rank" he will need to keep it .

The main thing is the red flags in trying to exercise control. First dates should he about putting your best foot forward..and if that is the best he has...you are better off without it.

Nothing ventured nothing gained.

Guys can be real assholes at that age.
retrowaves · 31-35, F
@HoraceGreenley yeah! I thought he would be more of a gentleman but really he is not charming at all.. :(
HoraceGreenley · 56-60, M
@retrowaves The age has nothing to do with it. This guy is into power. He sounds petty and small minded. Run!
Virgo79 · 61-69, M
Wtf, who would go on a date and be like that? Idiot.

Forget it happened, I'm sure you will do better next time
retrowaves · 31-35, F
@Virgo79 yeah, he's got a very brash way about him. He is not considerate and blatantly offended me about my work, im like wtf..how is this the way you treat someone you want to date? makes no sense to me.
Virgo79 · 61-69, M
@retrowaves at least be nice!!!
Justme5969 · 61-69, M
So sorry to hear that!!! I would have treated you like a princess......
retrowaves · 31-35, F
@Justme5969 Yeah, it was disappointing. He's very rude.
Justme5969 · 61-69, M
@retrowaves yes, he sounds very rude!!
Newandimproved · 61-69, M
Dating at work is always touchy. Sorry it didn't work out better.
retrowaves · 31-35, F
@Newandimproved I know.. it's a shame.
Newandimproved · 61-69, M

1st of all never date anyone from work, don't shit where u eat! 2nd, why did u date someone 55 years older than u? Why did there be any future? He rich or something? If he is that's a lame excuse to go out with someone
retrowaves · 31-35, F
@BondGirl84 i was attracted to him initially and wanted to get to know him, but now I see it wont work out.

@geoam1 Yeah. The one time I did it the issue was not the woman I was seeing but rather another woman in the office that wanted to date me. It's not always what you think.
greenmountaingal · 70-79, F
He sounds seriously obnoxious! It's hard for me to understand why you'd want to kiss (let alone be playfully sexual with) someone who is bossy, critical and not that friendly to you. Once was enough with this jerk.

He doesn’t sound very nice, I dated a girl from work once, didn’t work out either..
