OMG - do you ever find yourself being swept up in something that you have no control over? I've had this flirtation with a co-worker and yesterday it turned into a little more than that. I thought we were going to go out to lunch today, but he didn't mention anything to me and we both just sort of did our own thing at lunch. So I thought, okay, I misread the signals and he's not that into me. But later he said non-chalantly "so, when are we doing lunch?" (our plans for lunch today were very tentative, so he apparantly didn't think we had made plans yet) I said "I dunno, you pick a day." He then completely defied his carefree attitude when he preceded to name the day he wanted to go, having already picked an exclusive restaurant because he remembered that I mentioned that I had never tried Thai food and he wants me to try it. Oh crap, so this is starting to feel more and more like a real date. I'm even thinking of saying something like "you know, that's kinda far from work and I'm not sure we'll be able to make it back in an hour - so why don't we make it for Friday night instead?"
Aaaaahhhhh! This guy is 21! He uses the word "dude" at the end of every sentence and dresses like a skater. He's the typical pretty boy, Abercrombie & Fitch type that I usually go for. And I work with him and so does my ex-boyfriend. The three of us work within 10 feet of each other. But somehow the idea of NOT going out with him is out of the question. What the he!! am I getting myself into? I do not want the repution of being the office whore. If anything does happen between us it'll have to be kept a secret from the rest of our co-workers. And I have to admit, the idea of a secret office affair is tempting. It sucks that my no-sex-before-marriage conviction has to ruin my fun.
On top of all that I have a date with another guy Tuesday night and I'm in the process of lining up 3 other dates for next weekend. Two are for drinks and 1 is for coffee, so I should be able to squeeze them in. Tonight I was talking to one guy on the phone while another buzzed in on call waiting, all while I was checking my email and I found a message from yet another guy. It's raining men, hallelujah, it's raining men....LOL (I forget who sung that song??? I'm thinking the Pointer Sisters?) If I didn't meet all but one of these guys online, I'd be feeling quite proud of myself. But I'm not all that enthusiastic about any of the online guys and chances are they are all going to fizzle out anyway, which will leave the office guy...crap, what the he!! am I doing? :D
