So a girl down in HR who is very nice and friendly (it helps that i am dating her, but anyway) has worked with one of the guys from a rmeote site, he does project management.
Anyway, last time he was up they went to dinner (her, another person on the team, and him) then they went to a local outlet since he has no idea where it is and wanted to go there (L.L. Bean).
Nothing happened of course, she was just being the nice person she is, like me when we have a visitor form another site, if they want to do dinner, i will go with them, usually with other people as they did. He had her cell number while he was here, again for work stuff. i was also in on the whol porejct at times so it was all work related.
So on Friday she gets a call from him, he is coming back up here from his office for a week. He asks what she is doing for the superbowl on Sunday and she tells him that "we (she doesnt say her boyfriend) are going somewhere to watch the game" he says okay, she says but maybe we can have lunch at work sometime while you are here. I get the impression that this guy thinks he is wooing her or that their preivous work relationship might be more than just that..work.
She thinks nothign of it, she basically handled it as a co-worker who knows no one here but one or two people, was looking for someone familiar to hang with.
This morning, she has flowers on her desk (fake daisys) and she calls me to ask (she's all excited) if I left her something on her desk.
I of course say no I did not, and she tells me to stop jokng aorund and that they were very nice. I assure her it wasnt me, but now i am thinking this guy really does think he has a shot.
My question, or statement is..why is it that people think something is going on when people are just friendly? I mean really people..just because someone works with you and they go to dinner with you and 2-3 other people that somethign is going on and that they can just send flowers or little notes and what not...it just seems wierd to me...
She called me again saying she has not see him in the office, but that she is feeling very uncomfortable about it, and that she is throwing them away. That she doesnt want this type of attention from him, and that she doesnt understand why he is being like that...
And now I wait for the obvious answers...because people are attracted to someone so they thinkt hat the perosn must be interested in them if they are nice and friendly...
