Every day a little death, in the parlor, in the bed...
There is this guy at work that I think is really cute, nice body, seems very friendly, and I thought I might be interested in me. I think I mentioned him in an earlier post. Anyway, Have been thinking about him and decided I wanted to find out a little bit more info about him--such is he single. I thought about who i could get info from, as I am ne there, there isn't anyone who I know real well. Nevertheless, I decide i'll ask Courtney about him. BTW, his name is Richard. I arrive at work this morning and am greeted by Courtney. She pulls me aside and says, "Matthew, there is a stylist that thinks you're really cute." I ask her if she means Richard, and she says "Yes". We talk a bit. I tell her I was going to ask her about him and that I, too, think his is cute and nice. I tell her I'm sort of interested in him. Then I go about my work day. A few hours later, Joseph, one of the 'big bosses', approaches me and whispers in my ear, "stay away from Richard."
**HUH?!?!?**
I tell him I need a little more info than that. He replies, "That's all I can stay right now. Maybe some night when we are sitting around drinking at a piano bar (yes, Joseph is gay, too.LOL) we'll talk."
Okay, WTF? I get a break and I go track down Courtney. She tells me she mentioned our conversation to he two managers Joseph and Jennifer. She says that both of them reacted strongly. She said they told her that Richard is very nice and fun; but when he gets into a relationship he gets a little funny. She made is sound like he gets clingy or possessive or something. She tells me, "I have never seen that side of him." She also tells me, "You know, some people can handle that type of things, others can't."
I don't know what to make of all of this. I still think Richard is cute and nice and am kind of interested in going out with him. Later in the day, I run into Courtney again. She tells me, "I'm going to get a haircut from Richard and I know he'll ask me about you. I'll just tell him you are dating someone right now."
"NO!" I say, "Don't lie. I haven't made up my mind what I'm going to do about Richard. But don't lie. I may still ask him out. I don't know just yet. I do know, I'm hesitant to date someone that I work with. That's always a sticky situation. I just don't know yet."
"So, I can tell him about our conversation from this morning?"
"Sure. That would be fine."
So there you have it. I may or may not approach Richard. He seems like a really sweet person. I have watched him with clients and he is always smiling and laughing. Everyone that I have talked with seems to think he is a sweetheart.
After the whole MArc/Jeff fiasco, I'm feeling a little gun shy. I mean, people had warned me about Marc, too. They said things like, "Many are called, but few are choosen." I didn't listen.
What to do? Am I headed for drama? Should I just keep to myself? Fuck!
Anyone have any suggestions or words of advice?!? I may or may not listen, but i sure would appreciate any comments.
I gotta run, Dave and I are going out tonight.
Ciao!
