Would you repeatedly ask a coworker to join you for lunch if you didn’t like him (platonic or romantic)?

[Anonymous]

Given he or she always refuses. And if you would, why?

No I wouldn’t

Maybe I would

[PonyCar]

This question makes absolutely no sense. If you don't like/dislike someone, why would you (repeatedly) initiate a situation where you had to be around them MORE?

[Asker]

It does make sense because it includes being indifferent

[brightpapaya]

I would only ask coworkers that I like to join me for lunch, especially if we're going out and paying for a meal... I wouldn't bother with someone I don't care about. lol

Would you let a guy pay for your lunch on a regular basis, if he promised to recognize your status as being in a relationship, and to agree to maintain a strictly platonic arrangement?

[boggboss]

If we somewhat spoke but I didn't like or dislike them I would if we had lunch the same time

[Asker]

But why repeatedly ask someone you don’t care about to join you especially if you don’t talk that much and she never joins? Is it so unpleasant to have lunch alone?

[boggboss]

No but having lunch with others or a group can always be more enjoyable and I would tend to ask someone if they want ro join in if I though they looked alone

[Asker]

So you would also ask people you don’t care about or don’t find particularly interesting?

[boggboss]

I would ask someone who I'm indifferent towards yes

[Asker]

But repeatedly even though she declines?

[boggboss]

If it wasn't awkward or I didn't feel like she was bothered by it then yeah
