Last week I was at my company's holiday party. My husband couldn't make it . On top of that I just started with the company in March, so I'm still pretty new and need to spend more time meeting people than making sure he is alright. I decided to volunteer at this event. Another volunteer was a guy named Max. He works in a different department and I had only met him once before. He kept coming to the registration both where I was making sure myself and another co-worker always has a fresh, full glass of champagne. I had on a cute black and white fitted dress and amazing black fuck me heels. At some point in him coming to my table, he told me that I gave him flirty eye and that I needed to stop it. Now this is not the first time and I'm sure it won't be the last time that someone has mentioned to me that I just flirted with them. I have had guys ask me in mid conversation, "Did you just flirt with me?" My response is always, "Did I?" It's usually not intentional and most times I don't even realize that I'm doing it. So Max said this to me and I laughed. I then told him it was impossible that I flirted with him. He asked how. I said since I have been married for a few years, I've lost my touch and wouldn't even know where to begin with flirting. He told me he begs to differ and then insisted that I flirted with him again. This back and forth flirty banter went on the rest of the night . There was a lot of talks about how he wishes he met me before my husband. He needs one date with me. I should have a bite to eat with him afterwards. How attractive I am and all that. You know that's all my thirsty ass needed to hear. I wasn't all over him since it was a work event, and people know I'm married. I had on my rings too. So it was very noticeable. At one point during the night he was standing with his back to me while I was talking to a co worker. He whispered in my ear, "You've got me captive like a puppy dog. I'm not leaving your side this whole night." I cannot lie. I was IMMENSELY turned on by that. He reminded me that night of the guys I read about in my smutty books. Always touching their women. Even if it's a finger down the arm...a tap on the shoulder... Anything. Just always touching. He was doing that. Not crazy. Just always touching. It was nice. I was like a moth to a flame. I didn't go far from him the entire night. We exchanged numbers. The next day he texted me a couple of times. But as with most things, the morning after I had a different outlook. I realized what was going on and couldn't even delve into a conversation too deep with him. I felt bad and wrong. Mostly wrong to myself. I felt like I was doing myself a dis-service. Engaging in a conversation with him that has nothing to do with work just made me feel like yuck. On top of that, he's not physically my type. He was probably only about 5'7, maybe 170. Cool little build. Dresses well. Amazing NY accent. Very charming. Full thick beard. Brown skin and glasses . I'm sure I'll see him at some company event in the future. But I didn't completely self destruct so that's progress right?
