so i've been slowly (ie nonexistently) moving things on with the gorgeous but slightly young and therefore unsuitable boy at work. i rarely fancy anyone at work, but this guy makes me act like a 12 year old. still, despite this, we've managed to get from "kind regards" to lots of chatting and banter, and now i am lending him my shiny new car when i am away over christmas, even though he lives in a rather rough part of town.

until tonight, when a colleague tells me he has gone on a date. a date . on a monday night? who goes on a fucking date on a monday night (unless they met at the weekend and can't keep their grubby mitts off each other?!)?

so firstly i need some harsh b3ta advice on manning the fuck up before i have to see him tomorrow morning, but much more importantly........ how can i extricate myself from the whole car loan thing to stop him bonking someone else in my car? do i invent a manufacturer's safety recall??

all wise words and tips gratefully received.

only in my imagination!
i think. he flirts, but then everyone flirts, that doesn't mean you actually fancy the person you are flirting with. if you can follow that at all!

It's threads like this why we need Phsycochomp
You're lending him your car? Am I hearing this right?

Tell him you're not lending him your car, that he can go get fucked for all your concerned. According to what little qotw stuff I've read of yours, you ovbously don't have a problem pullin' guys.

Stand up like you've got a pair, britney, and slag it up 'till you've got his paycheck going into your bank account every month.

Stop being whipped because he's got a cock without gray pubes for once.

Oh, sorry, I thought this was more of a convesration based thread rather than an ego trip.
My mistake, never mind.

"that he can go get fucked for all your concerned"
I think that that's exactly her concern...

Tell him you've had a change of heart
Or that the insurance company won't cover it. How young is 'slightly young'?

erm
5 years younger than i am.....
( rachelswipe with a fork, Mon 23 Nov 2009, 22:21, Reply)

So mid twenties then.
Or thereabouts. Possibly young enough for the premium to be a bit hefty given most insurers' reluctance to cover anyone under the age of 25 from driving anything other than a mobility scooter. unl;ess they are prepared to rob a bank and sell their first born to the devil...

Actually, it's your car, you're a female, therefore changing your mind is a genetic given. Just pretend you were up on blocks when you said he could borrow it. Blame it on the hormones.

Erm, yeah...
'tis a charming phrase and no mistake. Otherwise known as "off the road"...

All I can think is emergency trip to the mechanic because it is Not Safe at the moment.
After all, you don't want to take it for an actual repair and find someone else's pants under the seat.

Well you could say
that you now need it over the holidays. Or that your mum/sister need to borrow it and they take priority over some bit of fluff.

Also don't forget, you've only got the colleagues word for it that he is out for a date tomight. Could they be making it up?

or
that they themselves are the date?

Unless you want to make the guy question your motives, don't let on that anything is different and hold on for a week or so before saying that you can't lend him your car. Be all sweetness and nice and you'll get away with it without appearing callous or petty.

Right, I'm off to cry myself to sleep now rachel.

you've told him you'd lend him your car
so lend him your fucking car, because you're nice (I hope). Don't let him down. You've been foolish - take a lesson on right/wrong motives for stuff..

edit: oh, you're a lawyer.. I do hope you still lend him the car.

Don't hang about!
Just let him know there will be a Sex Fee for the loan of the motor. Then pull out a strap-on and tell him to call you Roger. That should work! Or you bum the office sex object, and lose your car. Either way.
