New work friend and I have known each other about five weeks. All going fine and we gossiped about various things etc, I liked and do like her... Stuoidly though I mentioned tipsily once that I found someone at work attractive and she has teased me about him since, lightheartedly. I don't mind this but I do mind it when he's there; to me that crosses the line.
The other day she teased me in his earshot (second time in a few days this had happened, I asked her the first time not to do it) and I sent her a polite message basyxally asking her not to do it as I thought it made me look unprofessional and a bit silly. I was really polite but not v jokey and poss a bit stern?
I think she feels told off now though and maybe like I'm no fun?! She has noticeably cooled a bit towards me and now I feel like I could/should have approached it in a different way. We are going to be spending a lot of time together over the next few months so I don't want to make things worse - just keep them how they were before!! I'm acting exactly the same to her but I feel bad. Urgh.
