I may have fallen for my work colleague....I have had many disastrous situations with guys in the past which, looking back make me consider myself to be stupid, naive and somewhat desperate. I've been trying to find reasons why I'm being stupid here with Alex, because I think I have talked myself into believing that no guy is really worth it and therefore shouldn't bother trying. The problem with this is that I can't give a good reason other than we work together. He is geniuinely interested in me -he asks me more questions than I thought was possible from a guy (I blame Dan for that).
He really is perfect for me -he has two sides to him, the laid back one and the committed one. He is generally a scruffy guy who still makes some effort to look good but does anyway. I am still having difficulty with the 3 computer systems at work (2 of which he has down more or less) and everytime I have a question he gets up immediately to help. When he dresses in a suit and shaves he looks like a Tory Boy...he lives a 15 minute walk away from me and takes the same bus, except that we will, for the foreseeable future, work overlapping shifts so don't arrive and leave at the same time. He talks to me regularly about the football and rugby - he's a general sports boy (another reason why he's perfect). And he supports Liverpool. He's working late on Valentine's Day coz I asked him to swap shifts with me so I could meet Cami at the airport and didn't have a problem when I said it was V-Day...he lives with uni mates ie. he is single. He's told me all about his family and knows all about mine, but because HE ASKED ME.
Dan thinks I might have a brother and sister and my family live in Switzerland...I haven't seen the point in telling Dan anything about me in so long that the fact that he thinks they still live in Zurich speaks for itself -they moved to Muscat a year ago! Dan really doesn't care about me and never makes an effort; he won't notice in 6 months that he hasn't seen or heard from me in 7. I need to get rid of the useless piece of crap. Easier said than done.
