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.

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.

@updown2020 we are keeping the relationship a secret. He doesn't want us to talk to anyone about us because we work together, and the age difference

@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,

@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.
