The Bloggers With The Most To Say
I boinked a co-worker...UPDATE!!
I don't even know what to say...we got drunk at a work function. We had been flirting for weeks. He has a long distance girlfriend. We knew what we were doing, and before I left the next morning, I said see you monday. Monday was fine. We were cool, however today, it is weird. He practically avoided me at the water cooler, and has yet to send me an email all day (which is a rare occasion). I left a bracelet at his house... so the question is...do I text him Friday (he said he would have it back to me by then) or do I give it up and just let us go about ignoring each other for the rest of our careers (which should be long and prosperous).

Nah, don't ignore him or the bracelet. There is no reason for it to be awkward. Just act like nothing even happened. Seriously.

Just be upfront about it. Communication is the solution to about 99% of your life's problems. Bring up what you're concerned about and put it to bed. End of story.

Consider it a lesson learned, the hard way (no pun intended).
Did you leave the bracelet behind on purpose or by accident? Maybe the girlfriend found it and that is why he's now acting weird. I mean is this bracelet really your biggest concern here or are you more concerned with getting this guy to stop ignoring you? Because I feel this isn't really about the bracelet at all. Whatever the case may be, it doesn't really matter.
What matters is that sleeping with co-workers will almost always lead to some degree of awkwardness in the workplace, sooner or later. Best advice - don't sleep with the people you work with.
Oh...and go buy yourself an even better bracelet to love. :)

Half the time I used to ask for my stuff back I really didn't care, I just wanted the guy to talk to me again. I agree with David, make sure you aren't just trying to get his attention again. He is probably feeling guilty. If your bracelet is really important however, just ask for him to bring it to work or something. Awkwardness is normal in a situation like that and hopefully it'll go away. Maybe let him know that you didn't have the intention of breaking up his relationship and that it was just a random fling. I'm sure you both can just move on and go back to at least being civil coworkers. There probably wont be anymore flirting though.

I agree with Hipstercrite. If you don't act awkward it won't be. I'd stop flirting with him, get my bracelet back, treat him like everyone else, and it'll make him feel dumb for ignoring you. Good luck!

I agree. My similar situation I just acted friendly like it was of no consequence so he'd have a chance to see I wasn't going to flip out and have expectations. As soon as he saw I was no threat that way he got over it and it is like nothing ever happened.

My thoughts...why are you putting your sex life out there like that?

I don't see any reason to let it change who you are or to let go of a perfectly good bracelet, if you want it! I think asking for the bracelet and having open communication could be just the thing to send you both back into an ordinary state of co-workership. You both had the sex, you both saw eachother naked, you both have to return to work... so what is the sense in strange behavior?
Good Luck!

Oh man...I can just imagine the awkwardness. I kissed a co-worker at a x-mas party, and our relationship changed from fun and flirty to snappy and awkward. It took a few months for things to mellow back down to normal - and we didn't sleep together. And yes, he had a girlfriend. Although, in my case, he lied and told me he'd broken up with her.
My thoughts? Get your braclet back and move on. It may be awkward for a while, but since you now know how things turn out, hopefully you'll be less tempted to do it again. I agree with Linda - stay away from taken men.
