My current work crush is going strong, and it's horrifically funny. I went to visit the object of my desire at his cube today and after about two minutes, all I could do was giggle and blush. I don't know why this strikes me as so funny, because usually I'd be mortified that I was acting so girlish and "abnormal." I'm also unsure about why I got so giggly over him talking about the current bout of the flu that he's fighting, except for the part when he said he was going to go home and lay down in a dark room, listen to emo, and shed a single tear, which he would photograph in a mirror (that part was my contribution) and then post on MySpace. That was legitimately funny.
I'm still on the fence about taking it outside of work - I've heard great stories on both sides of the fence about work relationships, and how they can be both terrible and awesome, sometimes at the same time. I've seen them go down in flames, and I've also seen them lead to marriage (after one party left the company). I've never been IN one, so I have zero experience to draw upon. And there are no group events such as the hayride that I can invite him to. But without knowing what his deal is, I don't know if a group thing is cool or if it should be a one-on-one hang out situation. If he had a girlfriend he'd probably have mentioned her by now (it's been two months since I met him). I'm not counting on that fact, though. And without knowing if he even wants to hang out (I didn't get the girl gene that enables most females to be able to tell if a guy is into her on any level, I usually have to be blatantly told), this could also just be me being nutso.
Things I'm sure you've figured out by now (as if you didn't know already):
1. I have been single for a while and have lost all skill in approaching and/or attempting to figure out the men folk.
2. I tend to indulge in the overthinking.
3. I'm not looking for more friends. Not that I'm against having more friends, I'm just sick to death of being all my guys' cool girl friend, and nobody's cool girlfriend. And I am fully aware that this is a really bad way to approach any situation, that's just how I'm feeling lately.
PS - Hi, I'm back!
