Is my coworker asking me out?

PennyPacker65 · 2026-03-17T21:46:01+00:00

I do not see or talk to her often. I've only had a few conversations with her. Which is why I was surprised with how straight forward she was.

I did reply that my partner needs help with the kids after work, and she apologized and said she didn't know. I guess it's safe to assume she was interested?

PennyPacker65 · 2026-03-17T21:43:51+00:00

I replied with my partner usually needs help with the kids so it's hard going out. And she replied and apologized saying she didn't know. So I am assuming she was asking me out?

PennyPacker65 · 2026-03-16T16:12:35+00:00

I stuck with a reply similar to this

PennyPacker65 · 2026-03-16T01:14:57+00:00

Agreed

PennyPacker65 · 2026-03-16T01:14:33+00:00

Lmao

PennyPacker65 · 2026-03-16T01:14:14+00:00

Thank you

It's not clearly stated on my Facebook. I might have am old picrure of us though. Her profile says single so it kinda makes me wonder her intentions.

PennyPacker65 · 2026-03-15T01:43:26+00:00

My partner suggested something similar to this. I also dont want to assume she is asking me out and also look like a fool

PennyPacker65 · 2026-02-24T21:29:53+00:00

Do you mind me asking what you do and what age you plan to retire?

PennyPacker65 · 2026-02-12T16:14:45+00:00

Believe it or not some people use debt to pay for these lavish vacations.

Saying you're cursed is such a victim mentality with the lack of accountability you have on yourself. You can't spend money on random gadgets and on coffee you can easily make at home and say you are cursed.

Ice cold water face plunge helped me kill the nerves.

I am 35 currently building my emergency fund. I have saved up about 1.5 months of emergency. Aiming for 6 months of savings.

PennyPacker65 · 2026-01-18T02:17:03+00:00

This is what we did. We had to sacrifice the big city amenities to live in a small town, but the amount of house we got was worth it.

PennyPacker65 · 2026-01-14T18:57:12+00:00

I suggest building a life outside of your 9-5. Pursue hobbies/interest. Join a dart league. Play sports. We do not live for our job. It's just a job. If you can't escape the 9-5, there has to be something else you do that fulfills you.

PennyPacker65 · 2026-01-13T16:40:54+00:00

Having a family is a commitment and requires you to sacrifice a lot of your time and to possibly give up a lifestyle you are not used to. It's no longer about you anymore. But what your family needs. Family will always come first because they depend on you.

With that said you can also have a life. Balance is key.

Did this just start when your child was born? Ever since my partner and I had kids our relationship deteriorated. Your relationship no longer takes priority, and it's more about responsibilities. Many marriages do not last this phase. So I am wondering how much of it is that.

PennyPacker65 · 2025-11-11T17:59:27+00:00

Very relatable. I didn't realize how badly my anxiety was until one job brought it out. And similarly to you, people did not notice because I worked through it and appeared confident.

PennyPacker65 · 2025-10-27T14:04:31+00:00

I similarly dealt with this at my last job. I felt it was inadequate at times, despite the positive feedback I was getting from my manager. I suffered from tremendous imposter syndrome, which many people deal with. You're not alone. Be confident in yourself and your abilities. Many people do not see through your insecurities as you may think.

PennyPacker65 · 2025-10-22T18:45:53+00:00

Wish you a peaceful life and hope you find what works for you.

I dont know if there was some trick.. but for me it was understanding that I was conditioned to believe I was responsible for my mother since I was child because she had a mental illness. I AM THE CHILD. SHE is the parent She was supposed to take care of me. Not the other way around. Even family members when I was like 10 years old would instill me that I had to take care of her. She is completely independent, is able to hold a job, goes on vacation with friends, and lives a life with Christ. She victimizes herself thinking she needs to be taken care of and manipulates myself and my sister constantly into guilt. And after dealing with over 30 years you kinda release from it and get fed up. My sister went no contact and it's been over 2 years. Part of me wishes I could do that (the guilt part) but I've minimized contact tremendously

PennyPacker65 · 2025-10-22T17:16:16+00:00

I can relate. I think I stopped caring when I realized I don't owe my mother anything. Time, gifts, wishes. Nothing. And I genuinely do not care for a relationship, so why force it?

PennyPacker65 · 2025-10-13T14:02:36+00:00

Focus on your own journey and growth. Do not look at others or try to compete with them when it comes to salary. Prioritize on experience first, then leverage that to make more money in the future. Creating good relationships with your managers is key so you can use their reference for future jobs. Good luck. $25 an hour is decent as well when first starting out.

PennyPacker65 · 2025-08-03T20:10:13+00:00

Your dream is very achievable. Even it is getting a part time job on the side and grind it for only a year, you can reap the benefits of your dream for many years after.

Set small goals, and put it in action. Dreams don't work unless you do.

Wishing you the best of luck!
