Dear Newmoanyeah:
I just started a new job about 2 weeks ago, and had a huge crush on this guy from my orientation class. We have been working together and I see him everyday. About a week ago I started driving him home and he seemed really interested in me. We talked a lot, but I still dont know a lot about him.
Anyways, two nights ago after work he asked me to come over and have a few drinks with him and another guy from work. The other guy ended up leaving to go home. My crush asked me to sleep over if I was drinking, but I knew I couldn't. He said we would go to work together the next day. One thing lead to another he kissed me and then we ended up having sex twice that night. He was kinda rough with the sex though, even when I told him to be gentle. After it was over we still talked and it seemed okay. I had to go home though, so I left, and he gave me a hug and kiss etc. But the next day at work was kinda awkward, we said hi and thats it. He didnt even say goodbye to me when I left.
I really like this guy and could see myself with him. I just feel like I gave in too quick and ruined it with sex. I dont know how to act around him at work, but I want him to still be interested in me. How can I approach him and ask him if he just used me for sex? when is a good time? and how can I act to make him still be interested in me and want to go out with me?
Thanks,
Too Easy?

| Hello? Is this my younger sister writing? If so, the guy is a loser, like every guy you end up with. Don't pine over him and ask "What did I do wrong?". You can't do anything right about losers. And I tell you this every time. And every time you end up calling me in tears, and I have to bit my tongue to not do the I-Told-You -So dance. And it's getting frustrating as hell. Quit bothering me at work. If you're not my sister: Maybe see if the guy will meet you for lunch one day and you can talk it out. If not, yeah, you were probably too easy and on well on your way to the title of Office Whore.

| In layman terms, I'd say that you've been "had" in this situation. If I was you, I'd vacate the situation and forget about it happening, although I find it interesting that he managed to go for round two--despite all the drinking and initial rough sex? I'd like to hear more about that...
Do you really even like this guy or just like the idea of him? He sounds like an ass, in my opinion. Of course, I suppose there's always a chance that he feels awkward about the entire situation as well.
Let this be my words of advice for all readers: Random sex with co-workers is never a good idea.
Cut your losses and move on. You have plenty more to worry about in this circumstance then whether or not you ruined your chances with him, like what about him telling other co-workers? Or contracting some venereal disease (hopefully, you used protection)? Or even just being deemed the office 'easy score'? Do you even want a boyfriend who treats you like that? There's plenty of fish in the sea—find someone new.
