Interesting Times
Have you ever noticed every once in a while, you enter a period where strange things happen?
You change, not necessarily permanent ones, but changes brought on by outside factors.
Alterations, perhaps is a better term.
Ive stumbled upon interesting times.
Wait for it kids, here comes an update that doesnt center around bitching about work:
As you may or may not have read in previous posts, work sucks. It started sucking worse recently.
We ended up with assloads more work to do.
So theyve hired temps.
One of them is cute. Very cute. Amy Smart (from Butterfly Effect) looking.
Definitely what I would call 'Out of my league'.
Yesterday, shes making copies.
Me:"What are you doin for lunch?"
Her:"Nothing."
Me:"Lets go someplace."
Her:"Ok."
Now after I got over my initial shock at A)having the cajones to ask, and B)her saying yes, I was in a damn good mood.
Then, at lunch:
Her:"We should go out for drinks later, sometime."
In my head:"She...she just asked us out, like, for more time with us...this...this is unusual. O_O "
So that put me in a really good mood. I cant imagine why...Heh.
So today, I went out to lunch again. This time with 3 other guys from work. Chinese buffet. At the end, we get our cookies. I open mine, and I read it, and proceed to grin evilly. "Give a kiss to the person who sits next to you." It took me all of three seconds to come up with an evil, and relatively cute, way of using this to my advantage.
About fifteen minutes after I got back to work, I show it to her "Hey, look at the fortune I got today." She proceeded to read it, smile a bit, and offered me her cheek. And i'm not the kind of person to turn down something so willingly given.
Needless to say, I was, and am, still very much shocked at this whole ordeal. Women are an odd breed, and this just confirms it. I wouldnt normally be this forward, but apparently when I get tired of waiting for something, i'll eventually go out there and take care of it/do it myself.
I have to say, that ive only tried this type of approach once before, and it was successful then. I'm noticing a pattern.
Either way, its simply not something I would have expected. Shes amusing, silly, a little daft(who isnt), and though shes not a rocket scientist, neither am I. And maybe Ive had my standards too high for too long now. I like her, shes attractive, I make her laugh, she makes me laugh. I dont think I could ask for more in a friend, and someone who could potentially be more. I'm not going to be totally blinded by the brushing against me, the hand on my arm, the playful nudges, but I have to say, they are a pleasant reminder about women.
