Pierre

Welcome back!

I did something bad.

Well, technically I haven’t done anything bad yet, but I’m totally going to.

I met Pierre while I was interviewing him for a position at my company. Yes, I was interviewing him. As I was trying to stick to the line of questioning I had about his SEO and SEM strategies, I just kept thinking to myself, “We can’t hire this guy, I’m totally going to sleep with him”.

A few weeks after the interview, hearing nothing about the job, he asked me out over email. Hadn’t heard anything else about him from my boss about bringing him on the team, so I figured that we probably wouldn’t hire him and it was ok to down a couple cocktails with the Parisian. As soon as we sat down to have drinks, he informs me that he has another interview with my CEO the following day. Great.

The date goes fantastically. His French accent makes my clothes want to fall off and I drink a little more than I had planned on. He tries to convince me to go to dinner with him at 10pm in Hollywood but I have to get up early for a meeting and I will totally sleep with him if we leave the bar together, which goes against my no-sex-on-the-first-date policy. I pull myself away and have an awkward goodbye as we’re rushed by the valet bringing the car. I want to grope him, but settle for polite kisses on the cheek. Seriously, I can’t even get some outside the shirt action?

He shows up at my office the next day and flirts with me over text as he sits 6 feet away and waits for his interview with the CEO. This is most likely going to end badly or in a lot of awkwardness.

I still want to sleep with him.
