Today, I confronted my coworker, who I had a crush on, for lying to me. He’d told me he was gay when I asked him out. He’s now dating another coworker of mine who’s a woman. He took this up with my boss, and I was written up for “creating a hostile work environment.” FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out that the coworker I’d been crushing on told me he was gay so I wouldn’t hit on him anymore. Turns out he did that so he could focus on wooing a female coworker of mine. They’re now dating. FML
Today, after many years of being single, I finally worked up the courage to ask my coworker out. He said no and gave me "fair warning" that he's going to report me for sexual harassment. FML
Today, I found out that the co-worker I have been dating and falling for is the same co-worker that had been spreading rumors about me and getting me in trouble with my boss. FML
Today, I have a major crush on my coworker and I hate it because he's s gay and happily married to another man. FML
Today, the coworker I have been hitting it off with rejected me. Apparently she has a crush on another male employee. An employee who is married and somehow has three other girls in our store actually fighting over him (I've heard arguments). She thinks she has a chance? FML
Today, I got a coworker at my new job in trouble, because he kept harassing me and asking me out, even after I clearly told him I wasn't interested. Turns out he's very popular around here, and everyone now hates me for being a trouble-maker and not "taking a compliment." FML
Today, I got fired from work. Why? I finally took a stand for myself and confronted my coworker of writing things up in my name for herself, and it getting deducted from my check. So she went to the manager and accused me of sexual harassment. FML
Today, I tried to blackmail my douchebag boss for a raise, since I had ample proof that he's screwing a co-worker. Turns out he and his wife are in an open relationship, and HR doesn't give a damn about office romances. Now I have to quit or deal with the most hostile work environment ever. FML
Today, my boss broke off our relationship because he said it's inappropriate. I really liked him, but I accepted it and respected his integrity. A few hours later, I found out he's now dating my colleague. FML
Today, I was fired from a managerial position I've held for two years due to "inappropriate relations with a subordinate": I was dating a coworker. My girlfriend then broke up with me four hours later. Because I no longer had a job. I hired her. FML

Let’s see this from his perspective, “there’s this creepy woman at work who won’t stop hitting on me. I’ve tried to ignore it, and finally told her I was gay to get her to back off. I started dating someone else from the office. Apparently crazy-lady found out and came and started yelling at me for lying about being gay. Finally I had no choice but to contact HR to see if that will set her straight.” Worse yet, imagine gender reversal where it was creepy dude hitting on hot coworker. You’re lucky you didn’t get fired. No one is obligated to date you, or justify why they don’t want to.

No means no. if he felt the need to give you an excuse to begin with, then it sounds like you were pressing him and making him uncomfortable. Take the loss and get on with life and leave your coworkers alone.

this is WHY YOU DO NOT MIX Work & Pleasure.

You had no right to confront him! What you need to do is study the other woman and copy her. She obviously has such powerful feminine magic that she can convert a gay man to straight. Instead of whining about your loss, learn from a master about how to get what you want.

you are extremely lucky you weren't fired. 1 this is why you don't date coworkers, don't shit where you eat. 2 obviously he has no interest in you, leave him the hell alone. when a man does this to a woman, everyone starts screaming. it's not acceptable for you either. don't interact with him unless you have to, and keep it professional

Man gay men get all the women.

Look it really sucks he lied to you, but a non-answer is an answer. Dude obviously lied to you because he's not interested. Supremely shitty, of course, but you shouldn't be trying to date coworkers anyway, and you really shouldn't be confronting coworkers about their love lives at work.
