Avoid Meeting Your Girlfriend’s Coworkers

In the second installment of How to Avoid Getting Caught Cheating on Your Dates series I will discuss an overlooked way of getting nabbed; by your girlfriend’s coworker.

Your girlfriend’s coworker is someone you disregard as soon as you’re finished being introduced to them. They have little, if entirely no relevance to your life except for those few excruciating hours that you’re forced to engage in small talk at a company function.

But that’s where you’re mistaken; it might appear they have only a passing role in your life, as immaterial as a stoplight, but if you’re not careful they can play a major role in the relationship between you and your girlfriend.

Here’s why…

There is no fun like getting a call from your woman during the work day and having her bust your balls about someone from her office seeing you out with another woman on Friday night when you were supposed to be shooting pool with your buddies. You might be able to talk your way out of this since most likely the coworker cannot be sure since you two only met briefly at a company Christmas party, but you certainly could do without the drama, inconvenience, and air of suspicion being raised.

If you can avoid meeting the coworkers that would be an ideal scenario, for it would remove a pesky nuisance that you cannot calculate for. There is something that you must realize about the coworker factor. Coworkers, unlike family and friends cannot be grouped easily. They have no particular bond, or anything that ties them in common besides their jobs. Coworkers are in fact an anomaly that is extremely hard to account for, or predict. This means that the coworker faction will encompass every type of individual, male, female, old, young, lover of classic music or gangster rap, etc. Very diverse indeed, meaning you can't avoid them as a whole; you just have to hope they don't recognize you.

The difference between your girlfriend’s friends and coworkers is that you can categorize her friends since they have similar interests. For instance if your girlfriend likes alternative music most likely so will her friends, which means you want to stay away from bars with live rock bands in her city. This, on the other hand, would make a hip hop club a viable option to take your secondary women. However, you can’t successfully apply this line of reasoning to her coworkers since they have only that one unifying bond; a common place of employment. Meaning they could be lurking about in some venue that you’re girlfriend would never attend, and what seems like a safe haven to take your other woman.

The best advice I can give you is try your best to avoid any work type functions that your girlfriend wants you to accompany her to, and definitely don’t take any women to any of your job functions.If you can’t avoid this predicament, then make sure you’re as nondescript and unremarkable at that company function as possible. The duller and more unmemorable you are, the easier and faster they will forget you (in the same manner you will discard them from your memories as soon as possible).

Simply said, beware of meeting any co-workers, if you can.

Stay tuned as the How to Avoid Getting Caught Cheating on Your Dates series continues.

Oh yea for sure the co-worker thing is the worst! I hate them. Think about it. The men co-worers want to get in her panties and the women co-workers talk to your woman about stuff they have no business talking about in the first place. ESPECIALLY if its a service oriented work place where customers walk in and out. Here the women make comments and they talk about each other's boyfriends or husbands etc. The co-worker thing is horrible. Your woman has to see these people everyday so she's gonna want to keep a comfortable environment. How can u ultimately avoid getting caught from these people? The best i can come up with is dress differently whenever you have to see them relative to when you are out with your 2nd or 3rd or 4th (like me) woman. People look different when they are dressed in a suit tham when they're wearing a baseball cap and nike outfits. Also when going to a restaurant with ur other woman, ALWAYS sit facing the door. Drop her off first and say ur going to park the car and let her pick the seat so u wont get caught walking in with her. And if there is someone u know in there when u walk in, you can just walk right out. And u just wait outside for her and go to a different restaurant. Your excuse? Im sure u've gotten good at those by now. Again, body language helps. If you just keep a serious face and be quiet alot she probably will figure u saw someone that upset u alot and wont even ask....and ur scott free! I should write a book! A.J. from windsor ontario.
