Coworker party ~ small crush
7
Sun, 01-06-2008 - 2:22pm

Attended another coworker party this past friday.... Had alot of fun, too! Developing a small crush on a coworker. this is the coworker that i have lunch with almost everyday as friends but i think he's cute. He showed up at the party. He had a few drinks and bought me a drink, too. I thought to myself "is he going to flirt with me now that's he's a little under the influence?" I don't think he did, though. So, I don't know if he's attracted to me or just sees me as a coworker friend.


History ~ we have lunch together nearly everyday as a group with several people and watch Family Fued during our lunch break... it's like a party at lunch time.... But even if others don't show, he and I will still have lunch together... we walk to a close by place and get something to go... or drive somewhere. In one converstation about dating he said, he hasn't dated since college and she was a psycho/stalker type. sounded scary. After that conversation i thought, he'll never ask me out so it's best just to be friends. But i haven't really put him in the "friend" category...kwim.

Well, I don't know either - sorry!! That is such a pain when you like someone but just have to wait and see. I would think that if he liked you he would indicate that - but as you say you don't want to make lunch awkward so I think you did really good with that. Maybe someone here will have an idea for you. But I think you should just keep doing as you are doing - wait and see - but don't get stuck on him.

Glad to hear you had fun at the party - sounds like you work with some good people.

Lunches feel normal but i'm slowly getting more interested.

It felt good when a sales coworker saw the three of us getting back from lunch and said "it's the three amigos"... because we get lunch together nearly everyday.

Most days LunchAmigo comes into my department and says "what are we doing for lunch?" But Tuesday, I took some initiative and went up to his work area to ask "what are you doing for lunch." My small gesture. Today, the coworker in my office called him and asked "what are we doing for lunch."

But i haven't been having the best self esteem lately (the worm dream, for example) so today, for some reason, i thought they didn't want to have lunch with me... when he came into the office, i continued working. But to my pleasant surprise, he say "come on loonybunny, let's go get some lunch." How fun. And then we had a fun walk to a nearby burrito restaurant. I'd like to think we're friends like on that sitcom Scrubs (Elliot, Turk, and JT).... in the meantime, I'm becoming more interested.

Did you make the character drawing that is by your name? If you did then your talent is most impressive!!

Okay - keep us posted on the happenings of the lunchamigos!
