AIBU to cancel this coffee meeting?

[ShameFacedMagee]

I'm so embarrassed. Have NC.

A really like a colleague at work, and I thought the feeling was mutual. Via a text conversation last night, he said that there was a "frisson" between us. Later he then went on to say that whilst he thinks I'm attractive, there's no "X factor". He then said that he really admired my asking, and we should meet for a coffee today so we could get passed it etc.

I am so mortified, I don't know if I can go! But I know of I don't meet up now, it will be horrendous every time we see each other in meetings etc. We meet one on one every couple of weeks, and team meetings every month or so.

Oh, God! Help

Sounds like you actually do have the Ex Factor then

Haha!

Oh god, I could have had him on the table...I'm like a bloody teenager!

Having read your update OP, he sounds rather nice and sensible. A less sensible person might have shagged you anyway, made a big mess of it all, backed out and caused no end of problems at work resulting in you leaving the company not that it happened to me, oh no.

He sounds like a mature adult actually. Can't believe they still exist!

Glad it went OK.

Well, I'm not sure that he comes out of it OK tbh.

He'd have been better not flirting with OP at all imo.

And what do you know, OPs still hooked!

I predict a shag at the next work social event! Well, after it.
