Went for a boozy work lunch yesterday (I work in banking, it was with my bosses) but held it together. My boss who is significsntly more senior than me then took us all out for a drink after. Everyone was fairly tipsy but holding it together.

I made the mistake of staying for one more drink with my boss after the others had left. One turned into another and then another, got progressively more drunk. He is married but separated I think and things are bad. I'm single and was being nice to him; guess he took this the wrong way as he then made a comment about how he knew what I was doing but was resisting (?) and kissed my cheek. I put him right and said that although he was attractive i wasn't interested. He also said I looked hot at various points in the evening.

We ended up going to a club at his suggestion (just us) and staying out. I missed plans I had with a friend as was very drunk.

I feel completely awful about it today even though nothing really happened (have a horrible feeling we may have held hands at some point?!), I'm not sure what I was thinking. I really wasn't after him but was just being nice - I can see how it would look that way though. I am scared I have lost his respect.

I was sick in the toilets at one point. I am worried about how to act when I get back to work. I feel like I have compromised my integrity.

Thinking of you OP. Don't be late

Feministandteacher "That's exactly the sort of thing a male boss would do" is a sexist comment.
How did it go OP?

Everyone knows and was interrogating me this morning, I felt a bit judged if I'm honest. Apparently he was far gone and can't remember a thing. I had plans to meet a friend so have gone with that, her coming to meet me later on in eve and us all carrying on the night. I feel like this is better.

Oh well. It will be forgotten in a week. No harm done!

Good. Neither can you remember a thing. Stick to that and move on Flowers

Well done OP, hopefully you feel better, half the battle was going in to work! All seems a bit murky though. What exactly did "everyone know"? Their reaction implies you were handling the alcohol less well than you thought earlier on as well. Seems unlikely (and rather convenient) he "can't remember a thing". I would want to ensure it's very clear to him I am only interested in a professional relationship & limit to 1-2 units of alcohol/soft drinks to avoid any further (worse) work dramas. Thanks for updating us

The worse day is hopefully over, try and shut down the conversation over the following days.

Hope the colleagues all lay off you too, not nice to be felt judged Sad.

No one will judge you harsher than you have judged yourself 😀. Hope you get over it soon .
