Some guys just make it so easy to say no

Welcome back!

I’m clearly being tested on my resolution to not date the bad guys. Thankfully, they continue to make moves that are easy to resist.

Pierre sent me a facebook message, asking me when I was available to go for drinks. Drinks that I said I was good for TWO WEEKS AGO.

The last time I heard from him was when he had just gotten back from Paris. He happened to be in the office, for both a second interview and to discuss the terms of the purchase of his company. Before he came in, I got a text message saying that he was on the way to the office and wanted to know if I was interested in getting drinks soon. I wrote back that I was good for that week, just let me know when he was available.

Intense flirting, texting and grinning ensued while he was in the office and wasn’t talking to my boss. When he walked out, he shook my hand, gave me a sly smile and told me it was good to see me again, as always. That was the last I’d heard from him.

Until now.

With the added complications of buying his company and potentially working together, I told him that seeing him for drinks is obviously not a good idea. Not that I needed another reason to say no other than the fact that he took TWO WEEKS to ask me out.

I hope I can maintain this resolution when if we’re seeing each other every day.

Going for dinner with Ethan tonight.

Share it!
