Was she interested???

[Anonymous]

30yo married man, recently went on an out of town business trip for a meeting with a female colleague I have been working with over a years time. She is single. At end of the day at work, she offered to drive me to my hotel room. She accompanied me up to my hotel room, we made small talk and then she went to edge of the bed, sat down and then fell back and commented something to the effect how comfy the bed was. I had planned to go out for dinner with her and she suggested room service to which I objected as I wanted the go out to eat. We had a nice dinner and she dropped me off front of the hotel. Nothing happened. I didn’t think much of any of this until I discussed it with a co worker who commended me for not taking advantage of the situation. What was this woman thinking?

A married man should not be alone in a hotel room with an unrelated woman that isn’t his wife. This is a question that shouldn’t even need to be asked so the answer is irrelevant. Shame on you!

Obviously she wanted to hookup. We did you invite her into your hotel room? You're married. You were sending the wrong signals.

If she is hot, you blew it OP. If not, no harm no foul.

Only she knows what she was thinking. She could have been very obviously sending out sexual signals. OR as a married coworker she could be so very definitely seeing you in the friend-zone that she feels comfortable with you. That she dropped you off in front of your hotel either suggests the latter — or her acknowledging that you passed on whatever she might have been offering earlier.

Then you discussed it with a co-worker?

Sounds like very obvious sex signals. I don't invite men to my hotel room - unsafe, risk that it's misinterpreted, ya there's no world I'd invite a male colleague to my hotel room, unless we were hooking up.

Agree about married man not alone in hotel room with woman not related to who’s not his wife. Know and do better.

The only appropriate way to proceed is to assume that she had absolutely no nonprofessional thoughts. Whether that is true or not you will never know, but as long as you keep acting as if you're sure it's true, you'll be fine.

Op here. I recall she wanted to come up. i had no ill intentions so was ok with it and it’s uncomfortable to say NO to something that may be just her being friendly and accommodating of sorts. I have to continue to work with this person, likely with more business trips upcoming so good to know what she may be thinking. I can then adjust my behavior.

Don’t you any common sense, OP?

She was (is) into you OP. Laying on the bed and then wanting room service means she wanted more. No way I’m going up to a married man’s hotel room unless I want sex and certainly not going there unasked as she did. Good no action on your part being married.

A married man should never go into another woman's hotel room. That's a very simple common sense rule, OP.

+1. Yup. She was on the prowl

Fortunately for your marriage, you’re a pretty clueless and naive person. Count your blessings and never be alone in a hotel room with a female colleague again.
