I don't understand why I feel so obligated to ensure the coworker is happy. He's got stuff getting him down that's not due to me, but I feel like I should make him happy... and that going out with me would be the solution to that. It sounds vain and pompous, but he's said as much, although now things might be different.

*sigh*

I'm so tired and I have so much work to do. :P
