I only started the job about four weeks ago and got invited out last night with a few of them. Went along and had one or two too many and ended up kissing one of the guys I work with. To make matters worse I was so embarrassed about I just left then without saying bye to any of them.
I do have a bit of a crush on him but can't imagine facing him or any of them that were there again!

You'll feel much better about it tomorrow. The hangover always makes things seem so much worse than they are - it's just the beer fear/wine worries. It'll be okay.

You have nothing to be embarrassed about, any more than he does, and I'm guessing he is not currently planning to go into hiding. I am currently sat next to my DH of 12 years, who I met when we were working together on a very small team. My best friend did tell me at the time that it was a very bad idea to go out with someone I worked with. Luckily for DS, I ignored her advice. Grin

I wanted to stage my own death rather than return to work after a severe wardrobe malfunction resulted in colleagues seeing me topless. Like others said, office gossip for a day or 2 then forgotten. Same goes for any colleagues hooking up, bit of fuel for the office gossips for a short while then done. Happens in every office and has done since time began - or at least since offices were invented Grin

Jennifer that reminds me of one of the first conversations I had with said guy. Can't remember the exact content but what I meant to say was "put my tail between my legs" and what I actually said was put my head between my legs Blush . I knew as soon as I said I messed up but instead of correcting myself just nodded smoothly and then ran with him looking after me thinking god knows what!

I once accidentally got hammered with some colleagues I didn't know very well. Apparently they tried to put me in a taxi at the end of the night but I wouldn't say my address, just said I lived at "Tims house" - Tim was one of the colleagues and was quite fit, but not interested. I just kept saying it and gazing at him dreamily. Someone else had to take me to theirs and put me on the sofa.

I was MORTIFIED but on Monday I walked into Tim's office first thing, head held high, and said "I'm so sorry, I was really drunk. It was a fun night though.....", he was fine and we laughed and I breezed out like I owned the world. I felt completely sick and it was all an act but only thing I could've done in the circumstances.

If anyone says anything just say "I'm just so irresistible" and give them your best smile

I worked at a company where half of the staff were at it with each other. Often different ones depending on which party.

Nobody cared.

I met my DH at work in a fairly small company. We decided to keep it professional by only meeting outside work hours far away from work, not telling anyone we worked with, in fact blatantly lying and not really acknowledging each other at work.

We had been seeing each other for about 10 weeks when it was The Christmas party and secret Santa gifts were exchanged. Both DH and I received a lovely picture frame with a picture of the other in it. Mortified!

Our work was notorious. I was there about 5 years and for a company of around 60 people there were four marriages including my own and numerous other flings.

So I think no-one will care, if you like him don't worry about it (unless your work has strict rules about it). Either way, just sail into work and make a joke if you need to.

Oh and Lambzig you got off lightly. We ended up the subject of a spoof article in the company magazine. I'm still curling my toes thinking about it.

Happend to me. I styled it out by strutting in Monday morning and calling out ' 'Morning stud' before anyone else could say anything. I was so brazen I think they thought it was pointless trying to make me feel uncomfortable Grin

Also been there, done that. Worst of all I was working for a major contractor and he was one of our subbies (and this night was one of the reasons I always drank half pints on our rounds and not wine like I did that night). Lots of us in our twenties/ thirties and we used to have nights out quite regularly (but usually without the snogging Wink).

Style it out on the Monday, own the fact it happened with a little laugh, and try not to react (I.e blush beetroot red/ run off in embarrassment/ call in sick) otherwise it'll be brought up again and again without fail (of your colleagues are anything like mine were).

Aw I kind of feel bad for him. He kisses you and then you ran away without saying a word. He's probably wondering what he did wrong.
