Re: Is it ok to joke like this ....?
May be I made a mistake in communication.I meant from that night I usually don't go to office alone at night. i.e. either I go with my other colleague (male) by adjusting timings with him or I try to do my work at home.(she never joined me whenever I was with my male colleague), because it is odd to be with a girl alone in the office or on the way as it can easily give rise to rumors. There are alot of Pakistanis here who know me and my family back at home, I don't want to remain in a position where people might get suspecious or false rumors might start.
Pakistanis aur judgemental na hoon, hahaha.
As long as you know yourself, you shouldn't be bothered about others.
Make sure to bring this issue with that guy. Tell him in a friendly manner that yaar, I am a married man and respect my female colleagues, so please don't make such comments. Tell him it makes yoy uneasy.
btw, I have noticed a common refrain in your threads. Shaitaaan is bound to come (i am not denying his presence though), he is bound to affect/influence one's thought process, he is bound to provoke me when I am alone with a girl, he might lead me astray...
I am not denying his devious ways but what I am trying to say is that there are countless others here/around who work in similar situations and don't ever make a distinction between teh genders, particularly in a professional environment. You should be sure of yourself and if you are strong no Shaitaan, the real one or the one in the form of human will ever be able to lead you astray.
