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

MotherMucca · 29/09/2017 21:05

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! Sad My mentee(?) looked me in the eye and said "well, I might be lucky next time" Blush 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?!

Assumption is the mother of all fuck ups.

Tell him to back off though as I'd love to know what kind of face he pulls.

MorrisZapp · 29/09/2017 22:56

Good line Niki. I also like assume makes an ass of u and me.

paxillin · 29/09/2017 22:57

Help me out, is this a Pret ad?

RedForFilth · 29/09/2017 22:59

This is obviously supposed to be funny but I don't understand why?

threadarick · 29/09/2017 23:01

It's you again! The weird predatory poster who always claims to think men fancy them by posting things just like this! I've been wondering where you went.

So ... How are things?

EarlessToothlessVagabond · 29/09/2017 23:06

Shock confused.

Greenday90 · 29/09/2017 23:06

OP yes you need to tell him to back off as you can't control your hormones.

pigeondujour · 29/09/2017 23:08

Oh, is it one of those oh so hilaire in jokes that everybody is supposed to know and have a laugh at? * *

Not as far as I know, but it's clearly not someone looking for advice on workplace propriety.

paxillin · 29/09/2017 23:09

So is this a perv or an underhand ad for Pret? Can't see Pret getting custom for this...

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 29/09/2017 23:09

Oh go away, WhatToDoAboutThis2017 et al. No-one asked you.

Yes, they did: you.

By starting a thread on a public forum you are asking all of its members to contribute.

Like other posters have pointed out, your attempt to be funny is seriously lacking.

He was inappropriate. No one should ever, ever let someone eat a sandwich with olives in. Ever.

SilverdaleGlen · 29/09/2017 23:12

I think the lack of decent bacon flavoured nutrition might be making you woozy.

Beeziekn33ze · 29/09/2017 23:14

OP - Why didn't you share the damn sandwich? And get the most similar one too and share that. Or is sandwich sharing a bit too intimate and suggestive?

Bumdishcloths · 29/09/2017 23:17

I've just wasted some precious minutes reading this.

tippz · 29/09/2017 23:18

He was obviously on about the sandwich.

Oh dear. I feel embarrassed for you @MotherMucca

Please don't see this man again. It isn't going to end well.

Redsippycup · 29/09/2017 23:18

I had a vegan sandwich from Co-Op. Onion bhaji, cauli, pickled beetroot and mango chutney. Was bloody lovely, and i say that as a committed omnivore.

But it did make me wonder - is yeast vegan? I thought it was up for debate if it is animal / vegetable? Or both. Or neither. (i fully accept my knowledge may be very out of date Grin )

Greenday90 · 29/09/2017 23:19

OP leave the poor guy alone.

Viviennemary · 29/09/2017 23:20

This really is quite unprofessional if I may say so. There was absolutely nothing in the sandwich scenario that remotely hinted he fancied you. It's all in your head. Get a grip.

Greenday90 · 29/09/2017 23:21

Are you on any Meds op?

tippz · 29/09/2017 23:21

One thing that baffles me is why anyone would want such a vomit inducing article like an olive, tomato, and avocado sandwich. BLEH!

SprinkleOfInsanity · 29/09/2017 23:24

Hello, Samantha Brick. waves

RebelRogue · 29/09/2017 23:24

I'll have whatever you're on.

Iamagreyhoundhearmeroar · 29/09/2017 23:31

What do people get out of posting sheer nonsense that makes them sound halfwitted? And the gobshites with their multiple Grin's admonishing other posters for not understanding the "joke"? What's that about??

Walnutwhiplash · 29/09/2017 23:40

Last time I had a Pret vegan sandwich (super greens and reds) it gave me the raging shits.
As you were, OP.
