Office Crush

February 23, 2006 | Category: Love & Relationships, Reflections & Musings

Okay, I rarely talk about work on my blog and not that I’m going to start talking about it but there’s this ‘thing’ that has been ‘in my face’ me for quite sometime. I know I would feel better once I let it off my chest.

There’s this guy who just started working in the office. He isn’t going to be long here as he’s just here to foresee some construction works thats been going on behind our office building. Honestly, I know very little of him except the fact that he works for an architect firm.

Now I’m not usually the type who likes to initiate a conversation out of the blue, especially when it comes to personal issues, especially when it’s a guy. The longest conversation I’ve had with him is when I had to ask him about the works and some labour problem going on. But good Lord does this guy give me the tingles. It’s weird because whenever I pass his room I’d steal quick glances and sometimes I noticed that he does it too.

I would love to ask him out for lunch but …

I simply can’t find a good reason to do so and I know well how office romance work and believe me once one person finds out, the whole wide world would know. I hate it when that happens. I reckon asking him out for lunch is harmless as opppose to dinner. Come on, it’s just lunch, right?

If I was any 3-4 years younger, I needn’t think twice about asking this guy out. Unfortunately, at this day and age I’d have to think God knows how many times before I make that leap. To tell you the truth, it very unlike me to think things through before going ahead with it. I usually make that leap and think of the consequences later. My bad.

On the other hand, I’m afraid that if he rejects the offer for lunch it will eventually be awkward whenever we meet or speak. I mean I’d be too embarass and he’d be just acting all weird assuming that he thinks I like him. It’s not that I don’t like him, it’s just that he seems like an interesting person to get to know.

Let me dwell on it a little longer.

If only God would give me a sign that will make the whole situation alot easier.

    As u said its only lunch… the more you beat round the bush… the more awkward it becomes. Who doesn’t want company for lunch? Maybe round up a couple of other peops and casually invite him for lunch with the group. Honestly, its no biggie. Guys love it when girls ask them out ;) Carpe Diem!

    Hey, I cannot imagine who would say no to lunch?! Its not like its dinner, when its after office hour or something like that? Colleagues go for lunch together. And when you have a new colleague, inviting him for lunch will just make him feel belonged. I would say, please ask him out for lunch. You might hit it off so well that you’ll both want to meet for dinner *WINKS* ;)

    Ask him. Otherwise…you’ll never know & it will be too late for regrets.

    Life is full of choices & opportunities.
    Life is full of risks & challenges.
    That’s what makes Life interesting… :)
