I'm dating my co-worker, and this is kind of embarrassing, but I've hooked up with two other guys at our company. These encounters happened a while back, and they were meaningless. My concern is that one of these guys will get wind of the fact that I am seeing and really like this guy and they'll tell him and he'll be put off. He knows I used to be pretty wild and said he didn't want to know the specifics, but he also didn't know that they involve our co-workers. Should I warn him?
--Unsure
To be human is to engage in episodes of poor judgment: drop-crotch pants...cornrows on a white person...vajazzling (adhering sparkly gemstones to a part of your body that nobody looks at and grumbles, "Gosh, if only it weren't so plain"). Likewise, though life partners sometimes start as co-workers, it's generally best to score hookup partners from the larger population pool -- men whom you might occasionally run into at the grocery store, as opposed to every 45 minutes in the coffee room. However, what's done is done, and what your new beau wants to hear about it is none of it. And sure, there's a chance that one or both of these guys will spill, but there's also a chance that neither will. If it comes out, deal with it as needed. Otherwise, what he doesn't quite know won't, well...let's just say the abstract idea that you were wild is different from his having mug shots in his head of the specific co-workers who've ignored the tattoo on your pelvic bone: "Abandon All Hope, Ye Who Enter Here."bottom of page
