I Think it would have been Better had I Said.....

If I tell you something, will you keep it between the two of us? Rather than saying (to my only female coworker) "Can the two of us have a moment that we never tell anyone about?" The problem with me and my mouth is that 73% of the time I don't realize that I've just said something that is likely to haunt me for the rest of my days spent around that particular, tortured listener. No, I don't realize I've said something that could possibly be misconstrued until I see the look on their face. Which in this case was a mix between "I've just outed my coworker and she wants me!"
