It’s impossible to take anyone seriously who fractures the English language so badly. If she had made an effort to type a reasonably coherent post, I’m sure she’d receive a warmer welcome.
Is the OP a waitress? How much in tips would be enough for her to move to a new city?
I’d like to buy a vowel, Pat.
I’m idly curious (“idly” meaning I can’t be bothered to do the research) as to how many of these Dear Abby-style first posters are legitimate. They rarely continue to participate even in their own thread, let alone the board.
The OP’s profile indicates that she is an executive from India.
The OP and the profile don’t match at all. There’s an ulterior motive for this OP I think.
FWIW, there is a significant population in India(an entry level ‘executive’ could easily be part of this demographic) that types in SMS language, the sort we see in the OP. So while I wouldn’t be surprised if the OP was put up by our usual ‘deep emotional problem from first time poster’ troll, I wouldn’t jump to that conclusion based on language alone. If anything the language lends some verisimilitude to the OP. But, not enough for me to plump for genuine.
Edited for clarity.
[QUOTE=Nametag the ghostwriter]
Lately I have been getting butterflies in my stomach when I see my manager or he touches me in any way. I’ve worked for him for the past 2 years, and I never had a thing for him, but suddenly I’m head over heels for him.
It started because of this; he started looking at me, and then he touched and rubbed my back daily for some reason or another. Then he started checking me out from head to toe – not in some creepy way, but he had this intense look in his eyes that made my heart skip a beat.
Then he started noticing changes in my behavior as I became more confused and worried about all this. I suddenly became more aware of his presence; I became quieter and more lost in my thoughts.
I tried avoiding him, and he started hitting me with questions: “what happened to you?” “Why are you so lost?” “What’s bothering you?” I replied “nothing” to all of his questions, so he said that he’s a hundred percent sure there’s something on my mind. Whenever he asked all this, he gave me a strange look and smile, almost as if he were dazed – and that made my heart beat even faster.
This went on for a few weeks; then, one day, he told me to tell him what was wrong – otherwise he would take a one-to-one meeting with me. That day I told him that there’s nothing I can tell him because I myself am confused. I told him that all I want is for him to be safe, because a few days back he had an accident, and that left me so scared.
Since then, he still looks at me all the time and he still touches my back, which I am in love with now. The way his hand feels is nothing I can describe, but I don’t react, and now I want to know how I can avoid him and get this feeling out of my head. After all, he’s my manager and I don’t want to mess things up. He’s single, and I’m single, and he’s just five years older than I, but I still don’t want to pursue this because if it turns out that he doesn’t love me, I will be damn hurt. So I might as well avoid him.
Help!

I have no advice, but I feel better now. OK, one piece of advice - don’t fuck your boss. You’ll poison your workplace and you’ll both lose your jobs, one way or another.
Dammit, where’s that waitress gotten to with our order…?
End thread.
OP, just go out for drinks with the guy then go somewhere to have some sweaty hot casual sex. You’ll feel better for getting the ride and he’ll probably leave you alone after that, everybody wins!
I’ve always kept the strict policy of not having sex with anyone at the workplace…until I give notice that I’m quitting. Maybe OP can do the same thing. Win-win!
What could possibly go wrong?
I was somewhat disturbed to find that I could read the above without much of an effort. I am not sure what that means, but it is not good.

You’re not a mortician, are you?

I’m not seeing how the jab/joke works, sorry.
The joke is that necrophiles are an object of scorn.
A joke not a jab. Sorry.

I knew there was a necrophilia connection of course, but I just didn’t/don’t get the joke.
No worries.
Okay, we’ve all had our laughs at the OP’s expense, but seriously, I suspect the OP is Pinay (female Filipino). Check out any Filipino message board where English, Taglish, and Tagalog are used interchangeably and you will see that this is exactly how they communicate in written form among their peers. Use of ‘dis’, ‘dat’, and ‘der’ and the odd sentence structure are indeed common in those forums.
Surprising to me that at least some here are not aware of this. That isn’t too say the OP isn’t pulling our collective legs with her post; her legitimacy not having been established, but immediately accusing the OP of purposeful baby-talk does little to promote a conversation. I know if I were her I wouldn’t come back after all of this.
You didn’t read enough of the thread then. Someone’s found out that the OP’s profile says Indian. My(Indian) own opinion is that the writing does show some semblance to Indian messaging slang, but I can’t conclusively say that the OP is not our usual troll.
