My co-worker just told me he had a full blood workup for STDs

[undeterred]

and not to get Plan B insurance because it doesn't cover very much... I wasn't sure how to respond.

[Droopy]

1. Just say, "Okay, man. Thanks for the tip."

[undeterred]

2. Yeah, thats probably better than

"your sex life sounds a lot more interesting than mine". Or "I probably won't be needing that anyway".

[Droopy]

3. lol

I know the feeling.

[undeterred]

4. If I needed a full blood workup for STDs I'd be scared to death

and I'd be worried about more than the bill!

5. Another reason not to cheat.

:(

I hope the tests come back as all negatives.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

14. yes because ofcourse you have to cheat in order to get an STD,

:eyes:

[lady raven]

16. I've had the full workup twice...

Both times due to cheating on the other person's part. Not fun.

Luckily, everything came out great.

6. perhaps he didn't trust his partner

or perhaps he was embarking on a new relationship

or who the heck knows

maybe he was totally worried about his sex life and contacts

:shrug:

lots of possibilities, but it is odd that he told you that I think... unless he is going to give you the results and then ask you out :evilgrin:

7. I had a guy bust out his lab results once

It's an odd but certainly practical way of making one's intentions known.

[undeterred]

8. I actually thought he was telling me he was gay.

If someone was going to ask me out that would be a really bad approach!

[SPKrazy]

9. yeah it wouldn't be my approach

but hell who knows

:shrug:

[undeterred]

10. Unless you want to meet someone with the same diseases

11. If I were dating again

And found myself in a new relationship that seemed like it might last a while, I would require that for both of us if we were considering not using condomns.
So many of our single friends get rid of the condomns without the STD tests, but I feel that it is a bad idea.
As another poster suggested just say "Thanks for the advice."

[skygazer]

12. Bingo

Exactly what I have required in the two relationships I've had after being divorced.

Of course, I didn't broadcast it to my co-workers. :eyes:

[pitohui]

13. how about "TMI" and a smile? EOM

15. Been there, done that...

especially when I found out my ex got HIV. Claims it was from a needle stick from a job she claimed to used to have.

I probably should have had one as soon as I found about her cheating, but, hell, I'm just stupid sometimes.

And I am quite happy to say I am clean as a whistle! :woohoo:
