Dating
How do you ask someone that you are working with out on a "date" without it being uncomfortable? Heck, how do you ask them if they want to hang out without them thinking your intentions are more than just hanging out? The guy that I do shift change with in the mornings is a really nice guy, and I've found myself developing a bit of a crush on him. Which is totally weird for me because I really haven't "crushed" on anyone since High School. Anyways, he's fun to talk to at work and I thought it would be cool to maybe hang out with him outside of the work environment. I'm a huge wussy though, so of course, I never asked. Plus, he is going through a divorce, with a woman he works with. Technically, she probably is one of my bosses. She has a new boyfriend though, and things seem to be okay between the two of them. Anyways, what is one to do? He's got two kids and I have my little one, he works days and I work nights, how would it even work? I'm probably putting way too much thought into it, but it would be nice to get out with someone new. I know that Selena's father and I will never be married, half the time I think we are just putting up with eachother for her sake. Is it so wrong to want a companion? I don't know...

I think it's normal to want the companionship with him. It might be easier for you to get to know him outside of work if he has a facebook account and you can chat with him through there. If you're brave enough, I would just ask if he'd like to hang out sometime. You could say it as casually as, "hey, if you'd ever like to hang out, just let me know." and that puts the ball back in his court. Otherwise, if you aren't that brave, you can just try talking to him more and hoping he'll ask you if he's interested.
ReplyDeleteI'm a wussy so I sent him a message on facebook and asked if he might want to hang out sometime. He responded with a maybe, saying he is really busy with his kids. He said when/if he gets free time that it could be fun. I responded and said I understand as I always have my little one, but a change of pace might be nice. No response. I guess I just wait and see what happens.
ReplyDeleteIn response to your question on my blog about losing weight and yet my clothes are tighter, it's because my stomach is getting bigger with the baby.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the update on this dating thing, though?
