CBB,


I have a question or scenario to which I would like to get other's consensus and opinions.
I am sure most of us attend at least one Christmas party during the month of December or so...or some of us go to many parties.

In regards to your significant other: Do you bring her/him along?

Here is my situation= I started a new job 1 month ago, this place employs under 100 people, of which there are some hot women in between.
Many single, others are taken.
The G.M. of this place has made it clear that she is divorced and VERY single to me--wtf anyways, hit or leave it, that is another question in its own :D ) she and I are going to be working tightly together at one point down the line.

My current girlfriend and I are together exclusively for over 2 months. Early and soon? yes, but we connect on many levels, it is amazing.
She already had invited me to HER work party, and her friends are dying to meet "the guy" ok settle down little girl :)

At first I had invited her to come with me, she of course accepted--that was 2 weeks ago.
Now that the party is approaching and I am getting to know the guys there, they are setting themselves up for a big party...and the real cool fellas are going to the party alone ;)
I am still committed to bringing my chick to the party.

I DO NOT have anything to hide by the way.

The question is: Do you normally bring your significant other to the festivities?
How would you feel if your other did not invite you to her/his xmas party??
This is a two way street right?

Fear of committment? who cares if you bring a girl now and it doesnt work out you will be single then just because girls see you with someone doesnt mean they assume you are locked down. Just bring her it wont hurt anything. I`m maried now so I have too lol.

that is a good question bro hmmmm.....

I would typically always bring my significant other to any type of festivities

If she did not invite me to her xmas party for example i would defenitely want to slap the bitch j/k....but it would piss me off and leave me wondering

I would look at it from a two way street for sure....
you have been with her for two months which isn't that long....but i wouldn't blow an amazing thing that you have with your significant other for just a ****......even if your penis says yes yes

i would see how things go with ur current g/f for now......i am sure the other will still be around if it doesn't end up working out

I wouldnt bring her dude. The likely outcome will be a nice fight on the drive home from your work party as she complains about all your "slutty co workers batting their eyes at you."
Tell her that its a staff only party as they are catering it to only the 100 employee's. Then tell her that you wont go if she's upset about it and guilt her into saying "no you go, its for your work...you need to go." Then promise her youll make it up to her by attending hers.
Thats what i would do atleast, these work parties are crucial to planting the seed with good looking co workers and bonding with the bro's at work

You can go either way.

I have been working in the same place for about 5 years, sometimes I bring my bf sometimes not but normally we have only 1 or 2 parties where staff is invited and not always everybody is invited.

I don't care if he invites me to any of his work relayed functions and he is the same.
If I didn't trust him I'd still be in the market and not in a committed relationship.

Off course that if I where just starting to work somewhere and had recently started a new relationship I'd not invite my bf/gf as you never know where a new relationship is going and there is a need to meet and know who your co worker are.

But what is done is done you invited her, bring her shut up and go solo for the next one.

About ****ing in the job: definitely a no no as it frequently leads to big head aches.

ok to me it looks like you don't want to bring her because you don't want to give the hoes at work the impression that you are taken...It's up to you, if you like the girl you're with now, definitely bring her along because the last thing you need is some hot bitch tempting you at work if you truly like your current gf.

Yeah, don't shit where you eat..... but that being said, bring her. If things don't work out with the girlfriend the fact that you brought a hot chick (I'm assuming she ain't ugly) with you to the christmas party will only increase your standing with the available women in the office. This way, you're guaranteed to get laid with the GF and better your chances of getting with one of your coworkers down the road at the same time, win win. :friday

That's a good point. Women are competitive that way... even more so than men, I've found.

bring the gf. that way your boss and the hot girls will see you are a good guy and in a relationship....and then they'll want your nuts even more.....its a win/win

BAM
28-11-2008, 09:08 PM
Well, another way to look at it is.. you could use you woman as bait to distract the (çool single guys you mention) away from the the other hotties at work that you want to potentially score with. (Assuming you are confident your woman wont run off with one.)

Dangerous move though; could karmically cause you some pain.

Just from my point of view....

Only dating exclusively for two months...I'm not sure if that would still constitute for me to feel the need to HAVE to invite my significant other. Nor, would I feel upset if he didn't feel the need to invite me.

Plus...it's also a new place of work for you. It's a little stressful in itself in your first big social situation with new workers; let alone bring someone else...whom is still quit new to you in your own relationship.

I personally would go alone...have fun without any hands tied. Most woman would probably feel a tad jealous and perhaps feel a need to pry as to why. I wouldn't give a shit really...but...I'm not a normal, estrogen filled female.

If you don't feel the need to take her; all you can do is be honest with her as too why.

As for your boss...why would she even have to make a point she is "very single". I would probably question her motives and lack of integrity in such a position as hers. I have little respect for such woman and wonder how they even got into that high of a position.
Dipping your "pen" in company ink is mainly never a smart career move.


All I can think of right now...is if you really think this chick is cool and you clicked right away with good feelings.....why are you even questioning taking her or not? Something else needs to be answered first about your relationship with her.

Sounds like your enamoured with her...and that's good.

Good luck

Take her, if it works out with the current girl friend great, if not the other women in the office see you with someone attractive women it peaks their curiosity more and makes it look like you may have something going for you, then let the flings commence.

But as hth says it may not be a great idea to be pursuing ladies at work.

Ya, i'd take her, you'll have somone just to hang with, and IF your still at stage where you want other action, i'm sure the other woman will peek be interested as lol i find lots of times woman seem to flurt more etc with men they know they are safe with, like if your taken , or knows you not crazy.

THEN down the line see how things go at work with relationship. After few more months i'm sure you'll start to get a feeel if your truely happy of just lust (which is most cases at first) But ya imo bring her to talk with ,

Who knows, maybe you'll see how she reacts if a drunken girl hits on ya, you can see if SHE"S craazy, and trust me, i've notice over the years, when taken, woman WILL be into you more, lol and once single , well, your not that hard to catch then in there minds. no competion.. Have fun what ever you do

Some great mature stuff written here fellas, thank you!

Just to clarify once again: I am 33 she is 41 and treats me like Gold!! One of the big reasons I only date and I am bound to end up with a mature chick is because of how they are. They handle uncommon situations with grace. Most chicks over 40 have this sense of maturity, this sense of "well grounded" (comes to mind.

I am into her like no tomorrow. Sure my people temptation will always be around, it is all up to you, whether you want to give in or not. I don't give in ;)

I see the logical thing for me to do is to take her to the party, which I will.

I have never slept with anybody from work, I have heard horrific stories, I have been close however.
The G.M. of this location is into me for sure, and a few of the guys already have taken notice....no thanks, I like the job and the open potential it has to offer me down in 6 months time.

Thank you for all of your great replies and even for the funny ones: " ...take the meat where you buy your bread from :D :D ..."

Ok why do you have to be such a party pooper :( :shock

Don't be that way:handsome

My girl and I have actually chatted about the thread---but I told her if was a buddy of mine who had posted it lol---I don't like to sleep on the couch.

I make no hold backs in telling people of the beautiful girlfriend that I have...but I also think that there is a fine line between a work party and a 3 month old relationship.
We are mature adults and in the logical world, there is nothing to hide or NOTHING to hide from.

As of now, I am not going to the party...but this is border line, because it will def give me a chance to get to know the other employees on a personal level---after all I am going to be the assistant manager to the new store--scheduled to open up end of next years first quarter.
I still think that if I am going to go, I need to be able to network freely and not feel I kind of have to "baby seat" somebody? Makes any sense??

And dont we know it LMAO


But bro , go to the party . take your gf with you . you never know she just might loosen up enough to tag team one of the other hot chicks there ?? you never know .
I found that taking a girl ( gf or not ) to a party will get the attention from the " sluts " so to speak and if you pay close enough attention you will notice them noticing you with another girl
as for sleeping with your boss . thats never a good idea . but keep it an open harmless flirt with her is always fun as long as you keep it to harmless flirting

OR ... if you have to bring someone .. I wil come there with you as a freind and we party withthe hot chicks all night LMAO :yeah maybee I will make a call to my female friend in your area to join us . she wil get the ball rolling and find the " fun girls " lol :hu

Bro, it's been 4 years with my Current woman.

If I were single, (or in your case, lol... 2 months in). I'd not worry too much about any of this.
I'd bring her, set the tone that you are a man who pleases your woman, one who respects her as well, by having her accomany you to events such as this. (for example).

For any of the ladies at the event who are watching, be sure to treat your woman as she's the only lady there.. they in turn will judge you as that, a gentleman.

If things do not work out a few months down the road, at least you've set the impression that you are not an ass, that any of the woman that you work with would have seen you together and figured you to be what you've wanted them to think, not one of the kids who goes to get shit faced and act like a fool.

If you are going to play this game, play your cards right and you will win. It's like ensuring you have the proper PCT in place. If not done right, you'll **** it up!

My .02 cents.
Kro!

excellent post!!!! This way too, if any of the single or married girls want to party in the bathroom (wink wink) it will be much easier then worrying about your girl catching u. We all know when people are drunk their "REAL" personality comes out.

My time is up now...


Quick overview:
So I went to HER xmas party this past December 13th...her friends loved me...I was abviously the center of attention lol..oh well get over it:)


Today is MY xmas party---back around 2 weeks ago, when I took my name off the list, a couple of the hot damn cuties were like:


-Born-are you not coming to the party?

me:
-No I don't think so

her:
-Born you suck, why don't you come for a bit?

me:
-Ok I will come on by (then I signed my name on the list again, but wrote +1 beside my name.

I look behind me, the chick left so damn fast.....she does not talk to me anymore LMFAO **** her!! I don't sleep around with the employees, ONLY G.M. or MANAGEMENT :D :D


So my princess and I are going to get all decked up tonight. We will go for an hour or so...I mainly wanted to network the GM and other management team players. It is to my advantage to go and mingle a little.
I just don't want to have to babysit my girl during the evening....but we will see how it unveils...stay tuned ;)

....and no for Gods sakes, there will be NO quickies in the bathroom hahahahha
