I Flirted With A Colleague At Work

A few times. Once was a cute lady from accounting. While she was receptive at first - and even returned the flirts (as best as I can tell, of course) - eventually I went too far, coming up behind her and putting both hands on her shoulders and rubbing a bit. She asked me to stop, so I did. 🤷‍♂️

Another time (different job) a co-worker and I were more like "office spouses" than co-workers. We spent a lot of time together, talking at least as much about non-work stuff as work. Eventually she took another job, and while we still keep in touch it's not the same dynamic any longer.

There've been others, too. Some are just passing comments or looks; others are more ongoing. Hopefully it always comes across as playful rather than creepy. 🤷‍♂️
