It’s that time of week when we answer the questions you’re too drunk or shy to ask…This one came from Mitchell:I have a coworker who somehow was able to start dating one of the female bartenders at the place he frequents. He then broke up with her through email because he carried a flame for another woman. The thing is that he still keeps going there. Everyone at work sees this as a manner of poor taste, but he keeps suggesting that there’s not a problem as no one has told him he’s not allowed to come back. Any recommendations on the subject?There’s a saying: Don’t shit where you eat. Mostly this applies to office romances, but I’d throw in any place you frequent on a habitual basis. Your coffee shop, favorite bar, gym: mine these for dates with caution, especially when it’s the staff. That being said, adults will be adults. And it takes two to date. She’s the one who said yes. It kinda follows that someone who would break up over email would also be clueless enough to keep hanging out at her bar. Not knowing whether they went out on a few dates or dated for a longer period of time, common sense says that it’s her work place and he shouldn’t go there if it makes her uncomfortable.Did it end amicably, outside of the fact that it happened over email (lame)? Then I don’t really see a problem, as long as he’s polite, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t an awkward situation. Did it end poorly? If so, your coworker is more than clueless, and he should be experiencing some embarrassment, enough to not want to show his face right now. Just because no one’s 86ed him from the bar, which would be ridiculous, doesn’t mean that they don’t all probably talk about him. His name is probably mud if he really botched the break up. It should be fairly obvious by the way the staff treats him. So yes it’s poor taste, but it’s his problem and reflects on his character. Just don’t sit so close to him at the bar that it rubs off on you.Got a question for the bartender? Email me HERE.
