So new job and new state. Some of my coworkers invited me out for dinner and brought some of their friends. I figured it would be a good opportunity to network and increase harmony in the workplace. One of my coworkers Male friends came along and the group was asking me about the move to this state and my travel experiences. I mentioned that one day I want to leave this region and buy a house in texas. This dude who had been flirty with me all night made a comment that "we should go together we can go 50/50 on the house! I love texas too" šŸ˜–šŸ˜£ everyone thought it was funny and was laughing. I was horrified and I shut him down "I dont think so. You should save up and get your own house" He was taken aback and was like "well I meant as roomates. We could go half for bills." I was like "I dont do that at all I like living alone" and I changed the subject for the food and everyone looked at me like i was crazy. Then my female coworker was defending him and saying he was jUsT tRyInG tO bE friendly and I said that I dont do roomates or halfsies and I didnt think it was funny at all. I reassured her that I had lousy roomates in the past and am hell bent on my goals. I wont be going in the future if that coworker comes as I dont want to deal with the weird male friend again. I'm at the point where I cant even fake be nice to anyone and learned to grow a backbone more. I need to keep working at it but I'm not going to sit there and hur hur at LVM humor. I dont need a man or anyone to go half with. I'd rather be alone.
