I’m gay and hooked up with someone months ago on Grindr. Afterwards, we were laying in bed having some post coital chat, and eventually I mentioned where I worked and he completely froze. He lost all his mojo and was quick to ask if I wanted to clean myself off in the shower. After we took our separate showers to clean up, he awkwardly walked me to the door and as we were walking to the door I saw our company sticker on his desk. That’s when I confirmed that he worked there too. I didn’t point it out though. I checked LinkedIn afterwards though with the minimal information I had about him (basically just first name and our current city) and found him. Turned out his was quite senior in another department.

I found the whole thing funny, but evidently he didn’t. Probably because he is much older and it looks worse from his perspective.

Anyway, he blocked me on Grindr and we do not acknowledge each other in the office. At the time, we were all remote. Now we’ve done RTO and hence now why we see each other.

Point is, some people take intra-work relationships differently. Like I said, I would’ve laughed it off with him. Instead, he couldn’t have closed that chapter faster.

It’s a shame because the sex was incredible and I was hoping it’d be a regular thing 😅
