Met someone from work, is he interested?
| Mon, 01-30-2006 - 1:24am |
So last week, my work had a a belated holiday party, fun times, lots of food, drinks, etc. Well the party ended at 5:00pm and many of us opted to stay at the restaurant/bar we were at and continue. I met a great guy who works upstairs from me...I had never met/ seen him in the office before. As people departed, he and I were the last ones left, he and I stayed and hung out...and I thought we seemed to have really connected. This evening was the first time I have ever met him, but he and I work with many of the same business partners and I am sure our paths will cross again. He ended up walking me to the train station and just as I about to cross the street, he kissed me on the cheek!? I hear he has a girlfriend. I am not sure what to think about him kissing me on the cheek when I had just met him a few hours earlier. Do you think he might have a crush on me? That's what my friends say. I am sure to see him at the office and not sure if I should drop him a note to thank him for walking me to the train station/to say hi or just leave it alone. If anything, I think he would be a great new friend to have, but since he seems shy, I don't want to scare him away. I guess the hard part is that I work with him.

Hi Crystal
Well it is difficult because you work with him and also because you have no clue if he has a girlfriend. I dated someone I worked with (same department, different group) and I must say it was quite difficult. People always wanted to know if we were dating and everything and we hid our relationship because we did not want people to think we were not doing our work. Also, if things go sour (ours did not luckily until after he left the job) you still have to see that person and still get along with them even if you really do not want to. You should make sure he really does not have a girlfriend before pursuing him. You might want to find that out for sure before even trying to re-connect with him. If you indeed find out he does not have a girlfriend, then drop him an email and thank him and see what happens...good luck!
