Would you ask a colleague of the opposite sex

To meet up alone if you had zero interest/attraction? And you're both single?
Different if it's an established friend of years or you're not both single etc.

I always go out with colleagues, always have and remained friends with many for years and years. Professional more men than women

@MonsteraMama me too!

I completely disagree with this statement. I know of many friendships at work between men and women with no interest other than enjoying each other's personalities. I have several of this myself.

Oh shit my best friend from work will be gutted when I tell him I don’t fancy him. He’s been putting the work in for over ten years.

Must have been hard for him when he agreed to be in my bridal party.
