Moment of truth

Playing~"Take Everything In"-Angie Stone

Your co-work approaches you at work. "I want to hook you up with one of my friends." [you give the look of oh boy...this heffa is really just being nosey] "Well, let me ask you this first" "aahhmm..." [not looking you in the face] "do you date women?" What's your response?

I get that all the time. I just simply turn things around on them.

Scenario:

Them: "I want to hook you up with one of my friends. Do you date women?"

Me: So what you trying to say? You don't think I can find a date of my own. Not to mention you know my type, right? Sorry but I don't do charity. I will find my own dates because I know what I'm looking for.

Them: Either they say, "But she is really cute and the two of you would make a cute couple." or "So what is your type?"

Me: (Answer for both) Again, I am capable of finding my own dates just like you were able to find your own. Thank you for thinking of me but no thank you. I'm cool.

I never answered the question and they are confused as hell. Trust they go and talk and the next thing you know, no one wants to hook you up with their friends.

i'd just say "i'm not interested right now, maybe down the road."

or, "what's that supposed to mean?!"

or, "what's your friend look like?"

or, "No."

"The only fish I like is baked or fried. Thanks but NO THANKS!"

That usually gets them together real quick!

sounds like you need to stop letting your co-workers punk you. according to your blog they have crossed the line on numerous occasions. at some point you're gonna have to put your foot down or they will never stop.
