Colleague made a pass at me

I would be flattered if I wasn't so bemused, as at the moment I feel the least sexy I have ever felt...

We were at a conference this week involving an overnight stay. Despite the fact that I'm recently married, still packing loads of baby weight and breastfeeding, my colleague made an unmistakeable pass at me!!!!

Little did he know that I was desperate to get away from the group and pump my painful rock-hard breasts before they exploded

So on a scale of 1 to 10 how U was he being?

and then you woke up!!!

Sn0wflake · 14/04/2011 20:57

Very....but you still got it girl!

LadyOfTheManor · 14/04/2011 20:58

I'd be furious. Does he KNOW you've recently given birth and are married?

Yup. He knows, although he doesn't know me at all well. If he had he would have been too damn scared

Seriously, I thought all my conference shenanigans were well and truly behind me (not that I ever got up to much, unlike some people...)

OK, I admit to feeling a bit smug that someone (other than darling DH) still fancies me, but seriously? Married lactating woman with dependant infant - poor choice of target, surely?

LadyOfTheManor · 14/04/2011 21:10

Can't say I'd be thrilled and I' hoping he didn't target you because you may have appeared vulnerable to him.

What an arsehole. What did you say to him?!

PlopPlopPing · 14/04/2011 21:21

Maybe it was the rock-hard breasts that attracted him

OTTMummA · 14/04/2011 21:35

Maybe he has a mummy complex?

what did he say? do?

squeakytoy · 14/04/2011 21:37

If he doesnt know you well, then are you sure he knows you are recently married. He probably would not know you were breastfeeding either.

Zingylemontart · 14/04/2011 21:37

He wasn't winking at you - your boob just squirted milk in his eye!

/slinks away secretly jealous at beanlet having someone make a pass at her!

K999 · 14/04/2011 21:39

What is it with men and conferences? It's almost like they have to shag someone at every one they attend?

at bitty.

Bitty! Lol!

NewbeeMummy · 15/04/2011 09:13

I think there are just some weirdos out there, when I returned to work and was still BFing one of my (rather slimey) colleagues stated how much he fancied the idea of shagging a woman with leaky boobs, think the bitty idea is so close to the truth

urgh!

jellykit · 15/04/2011 09:14

"and pump my painful rock-hard breasts before they exploded"

Is there any chance you said that out loud?

allbie · 15/04/2011 09:22

PMSL jellykit!!!!

LadyOfTheManor · 15/04/2011 09:26

Jellykit- have you been reading Mills and Boon again?

SeymoreBunnies · 15/04/2011 09:54

I did wonder where the painful, rock-hard sentence was going...

What did he say?

This reminded me of our company christmas party, my colleague (well an ex boss that I no longer work for because he moved departments) made a blatant pass at me when his wife had just had a baby! He actually tried to kiss me. I sucked my lips in, staggered backwards and then ran away. Funnily enough he hasn't spoken to me since.

IntergalacticHussy · 15/04/2011 10:07

why is it so shocking/ unbelievable that a man made a pass at a lactating woman? it might not feel sexy to us but obvious signs of fertility are going to appeal directly to the opposite sex for obvious reasons! Sex and motherhood seem to have become divorced in the public consciousness (but not in the primal responses of men) sometime during the victorian era and we're still living with the consequences in 2011!

OP it's perfectly normal, be flattered and move on.

IntergalacticHussy · 15/04/2011 10:08

what is it with me and exclamation marks today?

jenny60 · 15/04/2011 10:12

at the idea of being flattered to have a perv make a pass at you, breast feeding or not. Mind you, this is why I refuse to go to conferences these days.

nothingnatural · 15/04/2011 10:47

hmmm yes there are wierdos out there, I have a dear friend whose bastard dh started an affair with a colleague shortly after the colleague had had a baby.

I went to a conference once totally pulled.

NB not breastfeeding but was a hot 21 yr old at the time

TheMonster · 15/04/2011 10:48

what did he actually do?
