[QUOTE="Jenny, post: 2666930, member: 208985"] I get along well with my co-worker. He's a cool guy and doesn't care that I'm a lesbian. We were working a community event over the weekend. His wife,dad and sister showed up. I've met his wife and dad before but never his sister. I figured it was his sister but asked him anyways if that's who it was. I wasn't suggesting anything and was casual about it. But he interpreted that I was interested in her. And it was awkward. He said something to the effect "Don't get too excited she's straight." Yes, I do find her attractive and maybe wanted to find out more about her. But I already knew she was straight as my co-worker has mentioned her boyfriend before. After the incident this afternoon I've seemed rather weird around my co-worker. Really I didn't mean anything by it and was just making conversation. It would have been different if he was joking but he seemed rather serious with his response. Now I feel embarrassed and he probably thinks I'm after his sister. What should I do to get past this awkwardness? [/QUOTE]
