My coworker's birthday is coming up. Would it be weird to make her a full-size birthday cake?Especially since we have a bit of a history. We used to talk a lot, and I thought it meant something more, but she rejected me (before I even made a move). I thought we'd continue as friends, but she's keeping her distance. I like her as a person, and I miss her, because she was the only person I talked to. I give her candy whenever I see her, but it's not enough to bring her back.What do you think?
>>34324047Nah not worth time or effort.
She can stare all she wants, I'm not interested in garbage that fucks up and isn't truth
yes, it would be weird. big gestures are awkward and uncomfortable coming from dudes you aren't attracted to.
>>34324047>personally making the cakeWeird>been rejected by herLeave her alone before you lose your job
>>34324047>she's keeping her distanceI'd strongly suggest respecting that, but a lot more because you work together. I'd personally give the cake because that can be a mean band-aid to rip off and I respect the hell out of that. Might rebalance the line to friendship if you both are ok with that, but if not it's usually best not to obsess
>>34324047How about you get her something smaller.
>>34324047You're going about this all wrong. You need to make a cake for everyone except her
>>34324047no faggot, she clearly doesn't like you, made it perfectly obvious, and is staying away from you.These desperate grandiose performances will only dig you deeper. I suggest you forget about her and move on.Also lmao, a fucking cake, I wouldn't even bring one to my gf, let alone some whore at work.
>>34324118The real loser is you falling for this LARP.
>>34324047A cake is too much. How about some cupcakes for an impromtu office party?
>keeping her distance>cakebro stop it, before you lose your job or even more. flowers are already too much in my opinion. but if you absolutely must make an idiot out of yourself, a small bouquet.
>>34324047Do it. Also jizz in the cake, that will show her!
No, ignore her and move onto other women.
>>34324047Horrific idea. Do not do it you fucking sperg.
>>34324047Please don't do this. This is really creepy.
Put your semen into the cake batter, add a lil love to it
>>34324047The only situation where it might be understandable to make her a cake is if it's something you're known for doing for every birthday, and even then, only if you have a good reason to know when her birthday even is.
>>34324047Bro, you've gotta move on. I know how much rejection stings, but you won't benefit from obsessing over her. Especially with this being a workplace thing, there's a very real possibility she may report you to HR if she feels uncomfortable and you're out of the job.
>>34324087>>34324647>>34325619>dOn'T sHiT wHeRe YoU eAtGod, I hate you faggots so much.
>>34324672>>34325579YOU ARE GROSS.
That's probably just a good acquaintance anon. You bake cakes for best friends, not acquaintances.I think maybe what's happening at your workplace is that you are jumping too ahead assuming you are a part of the big social group that is there, instead of what it really is that you are there to upkeep the efficiency of the place so that no one has to deal with it... To then keep their social life.If your coworker has been really close to you, you can do it, but if not and there are a ton of signs leading otherwise don't do it.How about instead of a cake, you do something simple. Next time you see her, smile and say happy birthday and move on. Women love simple gestures more so than complicated ones too.
>>34325590>only if you have a good reason to know when her birthday even is.I know when her birthday is because she told me. I also told her when mine is, and she wished me a happy birthday (this was AFTER she rejected me).
>>34326409Being neutral in this situation is the more hero thing to do. You're acting like that curly hair guy from Megamind.
>>34324077>>34324118>>34326406We're on good terms, we just don't talk as much as we used to. I'm going to prime her up with some cookies later this week to establish that I'm a baker and gauge her reaction.
>>34326441I know empathetically I'm usually off, but the odds are not in your favor with this I'm telling ya that okay.
>>34326450What's the worst that can happen?
>>34326441being on good terms, doesn't mean she likes you in that way. unwanted grand gestures, especially in front of other people, are very awkward. imagine the ugliest, fattest girl in the office bakes you a cake with little hearts on it and looks at you with puppy dog eyes "pwease luwww me :33333". it's in front of witnesses, so you can't just say "leave me the fuck alone bitch". it's stressful and cringe. just don't do it. she will hate you for it. because it's not just a cake, who doesn't like cake? it's what message it's sending and what you're trying to do which is slime your way into her pants when she clearly rejected you. it's actually better when she fully stomps on your heart and calls you an ugly loser because it completely breaks the delusion, you don't think, oh in 2 months i'll try again when her birthday comes up.
>>34324092>but if not it's usually best not to obsessSo sometimes it is best to obsess?
>>34326477You get reported to HR and can't find another job. Or you get a reputation as a creepy stalker and get bullied at work from now on until you quit. Or she turns and runs every time she sees you instead of just not talking to you.
>>34327325>it's actually better when she fully stomps on your heart and calls you an ugly loser because it completely breaks the delusionYes, I'd very much prefer this.
>>34327533It's a shitty factory job. There's no HR, and I don't care about my reputation.
>>34324047lmao, yes you are weird. if you really want to then get her a single slice or a bagel or something. anyways you're a simp nigga, you would never do this for your male friends.
>>34326441nvm, do what you want you're not gonna listen to anyone anyways. keep us updated on the aftermath, simp.
>>34330538imagine baking your homeboy a cake, he'd be weirded the fuck out like, nigga i don't fly like that haha we ain't got that kind of relationship ya feel me?
>>34324047>Would it be weird to make her a full-size birthday cake?Yes. Very.At best, you can talk to other people at the office and see if you can organize something small where you all sing happy birthday and all eat the cake you provided. Even that is going to be weird when it comes out that you're the one that organized it.
>>34324047>>34324077>she's keeping her distance.She’s definitely attracted to him. Probably avoiding because she can’t/doesn’t want to get together.
>>34330550Locked and loaded.
>>34330756She has a long-distance boyfriend. But at the same time, she was the one who initiated it. And after she rejected me, she acted really hurt for a couple of weeks, so I like to think she was at least conflicted.
>>34331047>oatmeal raisinyummy. you're still a simp but at least cookies aren't full-blown creep territory like a full-sized cake
>>34326401nah bitches love that special sauce
Are you familiar with the word "creepy"? Because the more you push this, the closer you are to your boss hearing it. The advice you should be asking for is how to get over her.
>>34332274this
>>34324047Yes it would be very weird.Unless you bake a cake for everyone's birthday, don't bother.
>>34331047>UPDATEWhat the fuck. Every day, she works alone, and she has lunch break after me (and others around her), giving me 30 minutes to approach her in relative quiet and privacy. But today, for some reason, she's assigned to work with other women (I don't know or care about), and she had lunch break with them, therefore foiling my cunning plan. And the other girl I wanted to offer the cookies to didn't come to work at all. Let's hope it works out tomorrow. Otherwise, I will have to try again next week.
>>34332733lol, lmao even. bro can't take a hint from her nor God>>34330658real. this fuck nigga really brought cookies but couldn't share it with his obsession so he shared it with no one.
>>34332739Well, I don't talk to anyone else, so it would be weird to offer them cookies out of the blue. However, I'm having second thoughts about this. I think the cookies are too crunchy, so I might wait and offer her a cheesecake on Monday instead.
>>34335860Sharing food with coworkers you don't know is actually a good way to break the ice and establish rapport, ironically. Instead of having a pretense to get something in return you would actually be doing something nice just for the sake of being nice.
>>34335991>UPDATESo I went ahead and offered her the cookies. She accepted and even said they smelled nice and weren't crunchy. (I can't take positive feedback, so I assume that was a lie/politeness.) However, I forgot to stop for a chat, so I just walked away immediately. I also chickened out of offering cookies to the other girl, even though I walked past her with the box in my hands several times. So all in all, it was a big nothingburger, and it probably won't be any different with the cake.
>>34326385I normally share your opinion, that work isn't an automatic no-go. But continuing to impose on someone who has blown one off already clearly and has made no effort to get back in touch, is going into the harrassment area. Especially at work.
>>34336789How am I imposing on her? I'm just trying to be friendly, the only way I know. This was literally the first time we spoke all week. And later, she walked by and said, "Hey, thanks for the cookies again, anon, they were really good!" That's not something someone feeling harassed would do.
