About 2 hours later, he came back.....he was dressed up this time. Turns out, he'd left to go to a church event and came back to finish helping us out. I wanted to make some comment, but words failed me. One of my co-workers quickly pulled him away to help out with something. Next thing you know, he's leaving the event. I kicked myself because I should have said something. :-(.
Today, I'm sitting around at a staff meeting, and who walks in? :-O. And guess who sat next to me? :-D. I started to say some mundane thing, but the person sitting next to him, thought I was talking to him....and since it was a general comment, I couldn't really say "well, actually, I wasn't talking to you." Grrr. Then he leaves the meeting early.
But fear not. Opportunity presented itself yet again. After the meeting, a coworker asked my friend and I to help her distribute certificates to some of the staff. Guess who had a certificate? That's right. So I would have personally delivered it...until my friend pipes up and is like "Oh, I'll give it to him. I spoke to him before."
She's a flirt, she can't help it. She's five feet tall (if that), cute as a button, sweeter than sugar, with an adorable slightly southern accent. Grrrr. What's not to love? I didn't want to say that I was interested in the guy and wanted to use the certificate to "break the ice"...so I let it go. @#$^%!. *Sigh*
This is typical of how it goes at work...I see a guy, spend all this time trying to figure out who he is and how I can be "strategically placed" to talk to him...next thing you know, she's telling me that the guy tried to talk to her, and do I want to hang out with them for lunch? And in her sweet, well-intentioned way, she'll say "he seems like just your type. You want me to hook it up?" No! No sloppy seconds, thank you.
Said friend has invited me to go on vacation to the Bahamas with her in September. I'm tempted to go, because I need a vacation, and my travel buddy options are limited....but then again, I don't want to be "the ugly friend". You know what I'm talking about. I'm not a troll, but I definitely feel like a huge, lumbering beast when I'm hanging around her. I'm relatively tall and so are most of my friends. She's petite, and so are most of her friends....I feel like Dorothy in Munchkin Land around them. What to do? What to do?
