So last night I went to happy hour, and sure enough i had a few too many Grey Goose and Orange Juice drinks....
A girl that works at the same building as i do was there and I did the normal "Hi!" trying to be cool, etc.
Anyway, I ended up hanging out with some other people while she was with some of our co-workers.
I have been mildy pining over this girl for awhile since the inevitable divorce thing .... I figured I would leave well wnough alone and not ask her out, etc. I know she is single and she is very sweet and cute as well....
Anyway...she leaves and I talk to someone she knows well from work, i of course poke around about her and the person tells me "I shouldnt tell you this in case you two ever get married or sleep togethor in the near future". Then she says I cant tell ou and holds back the info.
I was "what the heck does that mean?" I am sure it was a metaphor, but it struck me as odd since this perosn knows I have a "thing" for the girl. I did gather that she was going home to get take out and watch a movie alone.
So of course I am drinking and then I am thinking...and then my dumbass gets the best of me....
I decide I should call her and talk to her..we are outside work..it's not inappropriate...of course my friends are like.."DO IT!" so i call information and find her number (or i think i got it right) so i start spouting baout going out somewhere with soe mutual people we know..you can see the rest...
Of course she doesnt call back, and now I feel like a total ass for doing it..come Tuesday i know I am going to have to explain why I called here and what for and she will probably think I am a stalker or some crap...dammit!
UPDATE: 5-30-2004
Ok I called her yesterday and she was home....I felt like a total loser trying to talk to her about it, but I just said "This is my feeble attempt at an apology" i said I was sorry for calling her like that, I threw in a little "the friends thought it was a good idea..and I agreed with them at some point so I called."
Anywho!, she said it was fine, that she understood and was ok with it, she even chuckled at me a bit. So it looks like things are ok between us...whew!
The damn thing is that i think i could have asked her out while apoligizing...everyone I have talked to about it has been saying I should have done just that! Arrgh! The bad part is i think they are right...
we both kind of found it hard to say anything, I think i coudl have...dammit!
UPDATE 6-2-2004
Well, I saw her last night at a going away party for a co-worker, fun thing is I didnt even talk to her while I was there, kind of avoided her but I dont think I made it obvious or anything.
I was only at the party for about 30 minutes, long enough to say goodbye to the person leaving and some quick talk with other people there....ah well...I guess I am doomed to be bashful and shy for the rest of my life...oh well!
One woman I work with knows her well, she asked me how my weekend went and asked if I had called the girl and if I ended up going over to her house..this was the same woman who told me the girl was just going home alone....I am getting the feeling this woman is playing matchmaker and neither of us know it!
