Comment on Anon tries to understand his coworker

  That’s just how social expectations are. I recommend you go ask a handful of single men you know (i.e. coworkers) whether they’d consider a 1:1 outing with a woman to be a “date.” I’m guessing most would say yes.

    Context matters: they’re coworkers.

      Exactly, they’re coworkers where OP isn’t certain if they were flirting or just being friendly, and other coworkers confirm she’s flirting. To me that means:

      • they don’t have a good enough relationship to tell the difference, so probably not "friends"
      • other coworkers don’t seem to experience the same thing
      • claims to not have other friends (surely she’d mention a BF, no?)

      So to me, that sounds very much like she’s flirting, so it’s totally understandable for OP to consider it a date.

        Facts:

        1. Anon intended for this to be a date.
        2. Anon never said this was a date.
        3. Anon never asked if she was single.
