Quick question: Do libras hold grudges? Specifically the women? Had a situation today with a coworker where she was led to believe (not by me) that I was going to ask her out. I have a girlfriend so that was never my intention but she was led to believe that by someone else. She came up to me and asked me if I had something to ask her. I wasn't sure what, but I knew it was something along the lines of asking her out, asking if she had a boyfriend, asking for her number.

I didn't know what specifically, so I asked her what she was told that I was going to ask her. She got very offended and stormed off without even telling me. Made things very awkward for the rest of the day.

Will she get over this anytime soon? She is very easy on the eyes, and we were getting along well before. I'd like to be her friend. But after that, she was giving me the silent treatment and at one point looked like she was going to cry. I think because of how attractive she is, she probably isn't used to being "rejected" and she even was told that I was too shy to ask her what I wanted... so she took the initiative and tried to give me an opportunity I wasn't looking for. I feel really really bad for her. Just hope working with her won't be too awkward from now on.

How do you know that she was expecting you to ask her out?
Because it was another person who told her that I was going to ask, and that person later admitted to me that they had done this.

EDIT: to clarify, they told her that I wanted to but was too shy to ask, which is why she came to me and said "I heard you have a question for me—" to which I responded "I do? What did you hear?"

And that's all I said and then her face fell and she said "ohhhh, nevermind then." and stormed off.

That last part makes her sound like a very immature woman... how old is she?

She's probably embarrassed. I'm a Libra though, I wouldn't have acted that way except maybe when I was younger.

But I don't hold grudges. It honestly takes me less than a day to get over something that doesn't mean much to me. To me it sounds like she was just embarrassed (she probably thought a lot about going up to you before doing so) and that will keep her away from you.

This just sounds suspect to me! If you're in a committed relationship why are you discussing the Libra with your coworker in a romantic way!

You gave the co-worker the impression that you would ask the Libra out if you were not too shy otherwise the co-worker has nothing invested in this situation.

I think your behavior is suspect! ?☺☺!

She's not feeling upset because she feels like she's rejected she's upset because she doesn't have time for these childish azz games.

So she's going to find out who's lying. If she discovers that you legitimately said things to the co-worker that strongly indicated that you wanted to take her out but bytched-up, she's going to deem you as weak, childish, passive-aggressive and not worth her time.

And don't you have a girlfriend anyway why are you instigating these games?

Lol I'm not instigating any games. I never discussed her in a romantic way. It also wasn't a fellow coworker who told her that; it's someone that I know who likes to cause trouble, and also knows that I have a girlfriend.

I don't know how old she is, I actually had just met her yesterday. I started this new job recently and I hadn't worked with her yet. That's why I'm concerned about things being weird from here on out.

I don't think she would've gotten so upset just based off of someone else telling her you wanted to ask her out.

She upset because she invested her expectations on you because she had grown attached. She's attached because you led her on.

You need to stop giving the impression that your interested in females you converse with. Stop the flirtatiousness, stop the banter, stop doing anything that disrespects your relationship with your girlfriend.

Or at the very least when you talk to females clue them in that you have a gf. I mean why wouldn't you? Unless you really are trying to get at other females. ...

That makes absolutely no sense.

Why would a coworker tell her that? What did you say to your coworker??

It wasn't a coworker, it was someone I know who likes to make trouble. Suffice it say, I don't really want to go into more details for privacy reasons. I don't really care if you want to judge me over this or not. You can make up whatever you want in your mind about me or take me at my word.

Someone I knew stopped by my place of work and commented to me that she was cute, and I said "yeah she is" and that was all I said. After I said that, they took the initiative to go to her and tell her that I was interested in her but shy. I was very angry and when I found out what happened I yelled at that person.

I also told my girlfriend all of this.

In a matter of 24 hours or less, your snake of a

friend has set you both up like this, for a future

of total workplace awkwardness.

Something is missing.
Yeah, the piece that's missing is that it's not a friend, it's a relative. I'm not going to say more. But you know, relatives? Those people you kind of can't just banish from your life, but don't always have your best interests in mind?

So I wouldn't be to worried about the 'scorned' libra. She was feeling humiliated by being led on by this other person.

If I'm you I'd be focused on this person whose stirring the pot and talking about me to others behind my back.

Water signs like to play the victim; and highly manipulative. You manipulated the entire situation, and enjoyed the perception of her feeling humiliated. You didn't start this thread with the focus on the unscrupulous relative. You told us - complete strangers - about her beauty. So of course you told your "relative" who you know is acquainted with her that you found her attractive.

When she came over and asked 'Is there something you wanted to ask me?" You can have revealed to her right then the troublemakers' prank.. "Did such and such say that to you? Oh he's a trouble-maker, sorry about that." But no that would be too mature.

Yes, and if you were I you'd already understand the problems there and have addressed them.

But if you were I, you'd also be very concerned about your work environment because you'd realize you might need to be concerned not only about the libra coworker being mad at you, but at her potentially turning other people (coworkers, the boss?) against you and making your life miserable because again, 1. you are new and unknown and she is established and liked 2. she is an attractive female and they have a lot of influence over people, particularly males, especially if they say a guy was being a dick to them, or playing them or something.

Hence the concern about whether or not she'll hold a grudge. Make sense?

So a relative just out of the blue randomly selected a co-worker at your office and some way some how reached out to this colleague and made up some story about your attraction to her and desire to take her out if you weren't shy? Yeah okay.. This is bull shit.

You wanted to bring her down because she is pretty. You hated that other men desired her and you wanted to knock her down a peg or two. The only thing you succeeded in doing, is disgracing yourself in her eyes. If your intentions are noble, contact her and apologize for your relative indiscretion. Tell her you feel embarrassed about the entire situation and hope this doesn't interfere with your professional relationship.

The Libra will immediately understand and shrub it off. But you don't want to take responsibility for it, or at least apologize for the misunderstanding, because you enjoyed your passive aggressiveness.

I'm a Libra and so in order to prevent her from acting in a way that quote scares you. Lol! Apologize like goodtimes said! Man the fuk-up stop acting like a weak wimpy boy. Apologize for the relatives meddling and indiscretion and tell her like a man that you hope that this didn't cause any conflict that would interfere with your ability to work amiably in the office place.

Just worked through the thread.

lol at all the crazy ass assumptions. I thought I was reading P-Angel's posts there for a minute, with all the making up of bullshit that was never in the story.

As others have said, she's probably just embarrassed. What she gets for listening to idle gossip. It also says a lot about her. She either may have interest in you or she's just starved for male attention. I mean really, who DOES that as an adult? This is some high school shit.

"Hey so and so, that guy liiikes you! He wants to ask you out but is shy."

Her- "Orly??" *goes over and initiates herself only to find she's made a fool of herself for listening to retarded gossip.*

As was also mentioned, if she's attractive, she's probably used to male attention and this was a kick in the face for making such an assumption to initiate something with someone whom she barely knows. "Omg what if he tells the workplace? What will EVERYONE think of me—" *fret fret*

Knowing that she's that immature, yeah I'd be concerned about a grudge. I've dealt with this type of Libra and they can turn into two faced, back stabbing idiots. Especially if they're of the attention whore variety. This chick has been there 2 seconds and she's already looking for a workplace boyfriend? Seriously?

Like I said, she'll probably get over it initially, but if she's as immature as she comes off, you bet your ass she'll dig this back up to use against you/use as fuel to be an asshole to you. But in the meantime, she'll put on the happy face and keep the peace.

Yup.

It's just a workplace environment. I get the concern for keeping things level and peaceful in order to avoid bs, but I'll never understand people who see the workplace as a friendship zone. If friendships happen, hooray. If not, whatever. Keep shit civil, your nose clean, and do your job. Nothing to worry about.

That last part makes her sound like a very immature woman... how old is she?

She's probably embarrassed. I'm a Libra though, I wouldn't have acted that way except maybe when I was younger.

But I don't hold grudges. It honestly takes me less than a day to get over something that doesn't mean much to me. To me it sounds like she was just embarrassed (she probably thought a lot about going up to you before doing so) and that will keep her away from you.
I don't know how old she is, I actually had just met her yesterday. I started this new job recently and I hadn't worked with her yet. That's why I'm concerned about things being weird from here on out.

You've met her yesterday and someone already told her you want to ask her out and she came to you to ask?

Something really messed up here...

Don't you think so?

It one of many.

Whether she is a shizo or someone at work hating you or you bullshitting because we talking ONE DAY and she is been told and cried and drama...

Are you on meds?

This man is not sweet! He doesn't have any regard for her feelings. His only regard is his comfort level at his job. One third of all Libras have Scorpio in their chart and baby you need to watch your back.

If she has Scorpio in her chart she's going to get a cruel Revenge; she'll smile, blow it off Then She will wait in the cut and wait and wait and wait and wait. Then when you think she has forgotten she will take that Venom from her stinger and fuk your job up the first chance she can get and you're not going to know what happened to you or where it came from. ?☺?

Okay, I agree with this entirely. I don't know how immature she is and I don't want to jump to judgments about her, but you're right about the fact that the situation itself is an immature and pointless one. And you are mudra are right about not needing to be friends with her. I like having good terms with coworkers, but eh.

There are people at work I don't like and I just stay civil. It doesn't mean being fake friendly, I just don't really engage with them at all unless it's work related.

I do admit, as much as others have pointed out- why are you so worried about her anyway? Are you sure you don't have any feelings in this yourself? To go online and ask strangers about some chick you barely know is weird.

Do you find yourself a bit attracted at all? Are you really that insecure in your own job that you think that something this trivial will risk it?

Yeah, so keep in mind that this happened yesterday and I made this topic as soon as I got off work. You actually nailed how I looked at it to a great degree:

"if she's attractive, she's probably used to male attention and this was a kick in the face for making such an assumption to initiate something with someone whom she barely knows."

as I said in the first post:

"I think because of how attractive she is, she probably isn't used to being "rejected" and she even was told that I was too shy to ask her what I wanted... so she took the initiative and tried to give me an opportunity I wasn't looking for. I feel really really bad for her."

So yesterday I made this mostly out of feeling bad, because contrary to some people's analysis, I'm not a sociopath. She seemed sweet, and to quote myself again:

"at one point looked like she was going to cry. "

That was later in the day when I saw her, she looked at me, averted her eyes and they were all watery. I just felt bad, I think that's normal.

Attracted to her? Yes, in the sense that as a male I'm "attracted" to all females who are good looking. Attracted to her like pining or longing or something? Not at all. Not interested in pursuing anything with her.

So far as it being weird for me to make a post about it? Just being real, I don't see how it's any weirder than any other post that I or others make. I mean, my last topic was about unibrows. This one was at least had astrology in it. Feelings I have attached to this? Not really feeling anything about it right now.

I posted this right when I got off work, not long after all this went down. The first thing when I was off was rage at the person who told her that, the second was to tell my girlfriend about the situation and how I felt really bad about it. Third was making this topic, not because I wanted anyone to solve my problems for me but because I was curious to know "do libras hold grudges." But yeah, I was feeling sick to my stomach over it.

You dont need to be her friend.
Yup.

It's just a workplace environment. I get the concern for keeping things level and peaceful in order to avoid bs, but I'll never understand people who see the workplace as a friendship zone. If friendships happen, hooray. If not, whatever. Keep shit civil, your nose clean, and do your job. Nothing to worry about.


Okay, I agree with this entirely. I don't know how immature she is and I don't want to jump to judgments about her, but you're right about the fact that the situation itself is an immature and pointless one. And you are mudra are right about not needing to be friends with her. I like having good terms with coworkers, but eh.


There are people at work I don't like and I just stay civil. It doesn't mean being fake friendly, I just don't really engage with them at all unless it's work related.

I do admit, as much as others have pointed out- why are you so worried about her anyway? Are you sure you don't have any feelings in this yourself? To go online and ask strangers about some chick you barely know is weird.

Do you find yourself a bit attracted at all? Are you really that insecure in your own job that you think that something this trivial will risk it?


Yeah, so keep in mind that this happened yesterday and I made this topic as soon as I got off work. You actually nailed how I looked at it to a great degree:

"if she's attractive, she's probably used to male attention and this was a kick in the face for making such an assumption to initiate something with someone whom she barely knows."

as I said in the first post:

"I think because of how attractive she is, she probably isn't used to being "rejected" and she even was told that I was too shy to ask her what I wanted... so she took the initiative and tried to give me an opportunity I wasn't looking for. I feel really really bad for her."

So yesterday I made this mostly out of feeling bad, because contrary to some people's analysis, I'm not a sociopath. She seemed sweet, and to quote myself again:

"at one point looked like she was going to cry. "

That was later in the day when I saw her, she looked at me, averted her eyes and they were all watery. I just felt bad, I think that's normal.

Attracted to her? Yes, in the sense that as a male I'm "attracted" to all females who are good looking. Attracted to her like pining or longing or something? Not at all. Not interested in pursuing anything with her.

I wouldn't stress too much over it. It's nice that you felt bad because of her obvious humiliation, but again, that's what she gets for listening to inane office gossip. Some Libra women are that stupid about those things because of the gross vanity. Total bird brains when it comes to behaving like a logical human being, because omg male attention = swoooon!

Just keep things civil and see if she changes her behavior at all, in a good way. If it stays distant and she seems kind of catty, I would keep my distance if I were you.

How in the fk do ppl who know ppl for 3 minutes know their sign? Crrrrrreepyyy
Really weird, huh? That was one of the first things she asked me. She introduced herself and then asked when my birthday was. I said "Why do you want to know my birthday?" and she said "I'm just curious" so I answered "Well I'm a pisces if that's what you're wondering." and turns out it was, so...

You'd think the person on the astrology site would be the one asking that sort of question to someone they just met, but in this case nah... unless she's here too—

You wanted to bring her down because she is pretty. You hated that other men desired her and you wanted to knock her down a peg or two. The only thing you succeeded in doing, is disgracing yourself in her eyes. If your intentions are noble, contact her and apologize for your relative indiscretion. Tell her you feel embarrassed about the entire situation and hope this doesn't interfere with your professional relationship.

The Libra will immediately understand and shrub it off. But you don't want to take responsibility for it, or at least apologize for the misunderstanding, because you enjoyed your passive aggressiveness.
Hmm, are you a Libra? Cause if so, you're really scaring me about how she might react.

Of course I am Libra. And you are the typical manipulative, evil Pisces.

I don't think she would've gotten so upset just based off of someone else telling her you wanted to ask her out.

She upset because she invested her expectations on you because she had grown attached. She's attached because you led her on.

You need to stop giving the impression that your interested in females you converse with. Stop the flirtatiousness, stop the banter, stop doing anything that disrespects your relationship with your girlfriend.

Or at the very least when you talk to females clue them in that you have a gf. I mean why wouldn't you? Unless you really are trying to get at other females. ...
Because I had just met her and spoken to her for a total of maybe... 3 minutes?


That makes absolutely no sense.

Why would a coworker tell her that? What did you say to your coworker??
It wasn't a coworker, it was someone I know who likes to make trouble. Suffice it say, I don't really want to go into more details for privacy reasons. I don't really care if you want to judge me over this or not. You can make up whatever you want in your mind about me or take me at my word.

Someone I knew stopped by my place of work and commented to me that she was cute, and I said "yeah she is" and that was all I said. After I said that, they took the initiative to go to her and tell her that I was interested in her but shy. I was very angry and when I found out what happened I yelled at that person.

I also told my girlfriend all of this.



don't let a group of judgmental people upset. their opinions of u don't matter

Thanks.

And don't worry, I was on dxp a few years ago, I know how it goes round here.
