I'm gonna rant a little bit here. Today, a male acquaintance at work took me to lunch. During said lunch, I had to disabuse him of the notion that our friendship was going to progress to a "friends with benefits" level. The guy is married, firstly. He's out of my dating age range, secondly. He's not my type, thirdly. The first point renders the other two points moot in my book.
I find it just about impossible to have respect for men who stray in their marriage. It's a sore spot for me, as it is with most of the females I know.
I must say that I was proud of the way that I handled the situation. I didn't yell at him, I didn't sit there and chastise him, either. I simply pointed out the very important fact that he's married. And that our friendship was not at THAT level! He told me that he appreciated my being direct and honest with him. I hope he means that. I seriously doubt there will be future lunches. I don't want to send mixed signals!
