To think that he fancies me, and to tell him to BACK OFF

[MotherMucca]

I'm a bit embarrassed about this, but I can't talk to anyone else about it.

I'm mentoring a student (he's about 25 and gorgeous). We have had a few meetings in Pret and we both enjoy wholesome, vegan food. So far, so normal (and dreamy)...

Anyway, earlier today we both chose the same sandwich... only there was only one left! My mentee(?) looked me in the eye and said "well, I might be lucky next time" I honestly didn't know where to look!!

I'm supposed to be meeting him and his tutor next month. I don't know what to do?!

So if it actually was a come on, why do you want him to back off? You said he was gorgeous and makes you swoon

Next time, tear the sandwich in half with your teeth suggestively and offer him some. If he runs screaming, you know you've misread the signals.

MotherMucca well, for a fleeting moment I thought you might see the situation for what it was, but you're clearly too far gone for that.

Go ahead then. Tell him to back off.

you Thread Title contradicts... your original Post ...

i get what you mean op, some of the comments are a bit ott!

You should have asked him if he wanted a nibble and then assessed his reaction

You felt he was being flirtatious.
I don't think you need to tell him to back off, he's not really done anything?
It seems you might be getting a bit flustered around him though so if I were you, I'd concentrate on how I was coming accross and the messages I was giving.
But then again, I never know whats going on around here.

He just wanted the fucking sandwich.
How embarrassing

You can't tell him to back off after that. You would look insane.

Also you've described your pret meetings as dreamy so you clearly fancy him. Why would you need to tell him to back off even if he did fancy you?

Was it Super Reds & Greens? Because that really IS a good sandwich.

I can still feel his eyes on me

I doubt he'd recognise himself here though.

I do need to tell his placement officer about his inappropriate behaviour however.

Poor guy just wanted a sandwich.

Instead he ends up with you thinking he fancies you. Awkward.

Please tell him you use this website, and then tell him to back off. I'd love to see his response.

He just wanted the fucking sandwich. How embarrassing

Came to say pretty much the same thing. Though finding it difficult to believe people actually behave and speak like the OP, that's cringy in itself. It's quite obvious who needs to 'back off' here.

Yes very inappropriate

You need to tell the placement officer about his inappropriate behaviour? Huh? I figured the post was light hearted but this has thrown me.

Can't believe people are answering this in earnest

You're on the wind up 😂
What constitutes his 'inappropriate' behaviour? And why are you trying to inadvertently not! direct him to this thread. You're acting unethically and could get yourself into serious trouble.

Can I please just know the sandwich? Two out of two people select it in store, so it sounds quite popular.

Peeps, this isn't serious.

I fancy one of those super rainbow flat breads now.

It does read like the start of a terrible romance novel, to be fair!

It's vegan georgette heyer :)

Ah. Ok. Now I get it.
On a side note, I've never had a Pret sandwich. What do people recommend? Prefer veggie but open to non-veggie.

TheDowager and you know this how...?

Hmm, either this is a thread where the OP is being a bit creepy or there's some clever subtext I'm failing to get.
