Went out for Christmas drinks last night.with work had one too many started Chatting to a work colleague, who I really like I have a thing for The grey haired older man, it’s a personal choice, I know, but I’m really over shared big-time over shared and it’s all coming back to me this morning. The guy kept an eye on me Making sure I was okay while we were at the pub to the point of taking me home because I had drunk too much show me to my Front door and made sure I was okay and he left. I’m so embarrassed I know I told you things I shouldn’t have. He is a really nice bloke and he didn’t take advantage I know he’s single What do I do

Apologise and thank him on Monday morning, and leave the ball in his court.

Consider yourself lucky he's a decent guy and don't repeat the performance.

first post nails it

Flatbellyfella · 29/11/2025 10:53

He sounds like me, no need to feel embarrassed because he wanted you to be safe.

I don't really understand this.

Arlanymor · 02/12/2025 19:04

How did it go @Christmasdrinkes - presumably you've seen him since?

Christmasdrinkes · 02/12/2025 19:47

Yes I saw him at lunchtime on Monday . We went for a coffee and a chat. He was the perfect gentleman wanted to make sure I was home safe. Didn’t want anybody taking advantage I explained how I felt and how embarrassed I was he. told me there is nothing to worry about and if I was serious, he’s happy to go for a quiet drink just to to us but understands if it was just a drink talking.he just wanted to be safe because some guys can’t be trusted I think he’s a real nice guy we’re going for a drink on Friday just the two of us.

When you say you over shared , it wasn't your PIN was it? Please keep your bank cards safe on Friday just in case

I don't really understand this.

It's pretty garbled, not to mention the random capital Letters and almost complete absence of punctuation.

So what was "overheard"?

Serenitesanta · 07/12/2025 23:58

How did it go on Friday?

KilliMonjaro · 08/12/2025 05:37

chunkyBoo · 08/12/2025 05:42

Perhaps a good ending to the over sharing?

Christmasdrinkes · 08/12/2025 07:46
