At work, almost all AFs are involved with WMs, except one who recently arrived from China. I personally don't find those particular girls attractive, look or personality wise, and I'm dating out as well so I don't care about what they're up to, but I often have people (YTs) talking to me about those couples as if they're trying to test my reaction to their relationships.
The latest was today at lunch when my manager (who's a huge Asiaphile/anime freak/I-love-everything-Japanese/you-know-the-rest) brought up this gossip about one of those AFs (whom he has a crush on) who's maybe marrying her white BF of 2 years and kept phrasing it in a not so subtle way (constant reference to their races and nationalities) to ask me what I think of it. I went around that booby trap and gave my opinion on the topic of nerd marrying nerd (one's a programmer, the other is a computer guy working for Dell) and joked about that for a bit before switching the topic to this creepy white guy at work who so obviously can't get his eyes off female coworkers' boobs.
I could tell that my manager was a bit disappointed that I didn't bite, but I get that sort of attempts fairly frequently so I know all the tricks. What about you?
