I'm back...with more stories....and questions.....

Hi there,

I like your Aqua folks here so much that I decided to stop by again (I've been here on and off reading but not posting lately).

I'm back to talk about my cutie-pie Aqua girl co-worker. When I last posted, things were looking a little down. The Aqua girl had been semi-avoiding me. My best guess was that I had been trying to talk to her and she freaked out. Other folks guesses were she had a BF, etc, etc.

In the time that has past (maybe a month or 6 weeks now), I decided to just decided to not worry about the Aqua girl. The issues of dating a co-worker were too much and given I work in a semi small company, it wasn't a great idea to begin with. Plus, with my co-worker on vacation for the past two weeks, I had too many things at work to worry about besides the gal.

Yet, in the time that has past, something has changed. The Aqua girl definitely seems to have relaxed. She is a lot more open and talkative and not as evasive as she was a few months ago.

The highlight came around today. The gal has this interesting habit of jogging quickly around the office for no particular reason. I asked her why she did that and she shrugged her shoulders. I then asked her if she used to "run" (like jogging for exercise or something). She said she ran track or something in high school. I joked with her that she should show us some pictures of her running.

Maybe she didn't quite catch the whole joke because she went to some lengths to whip out some old pictures of her FAMILY she had at the office. 😄

I'm just wondering how you Aqua folks would interpret this behavior? To me, it's a sign there is some trust gained. Now, as I said, I'm not overly concerned about the so called "romantic aspect" at this moment.

I just thought the recent developments were surprising. I thought the Aqua girl would just avoid me like the plague since I may have overstepped my boundaries a few months ago. I really did not expect the gal to be as friendly as she has been recently. But I guess Aqua are really just nice people......🙂

The fact that you left her alone and did your own thing...peaked her interest most likely. She could be done feeling you out and the aqua probe is just beginning...wait and see.

Dont read tooo much in it, yet.

"i drive myself nuts when i crush on a guy..."

me too! I never know for sure, ya know...if I like him or not.

"one day i liked him a lot, the next day, i didnt, the next day i kind of liked him..."

yup! but to my defense they often do things that turn me off, lol. But I do the observation thing and ask myself..."could I really like this..or that?...ugh, he is/isnt my type"

oh boy...I even confuse the ones who dont even get a chance to come that close😛

haha! wouldnt stop them...sometimes I think they prefer it.

LOL I got you. I get called weird constantly my guy...but hes never said he's figured anything out let alone women 😛

OneFineAquarius,

If you have the time to elaborate on anything I wrote, please feel free to do so. I would love to hear what you have to say. Everyone here's been pretty good with their comments and it actually is fun to read what others think. 🙂

BTW - thanks for the folks commenting again. I'm not really reading much into things at this point. However, I am very "sensitive" to sudden changes in attitude by people. So, this is fairly noticeable with the Aqua girl. I have to say, she is a lovely gal. She seems to have a good head on her shoulders and a decent personality. At this point, "friends" is just fine.

However, I am starting to recall some past experiences in watching or knowing some Aquas (both men and women) where they tend to "run away" when it feels like someone is constantly pressuring them. I guess the Aquas almost feel "boxed in" and they hate that.

I will say that I didn't do "my own thing" to impress the Aqua girl. I just did it because....well, that's just the way i am. I have plenty of things to do. Not that the females are not important, but if people aren't interested, I'll just keep on chugging with life.

OFA,

Thanks - I think your "friends first" sentiment is shared by me. In fact, I believe it was an aqua girls some years ago who sold me on this idea. 🙂 Also, most of the folks on the board have also advised to proceed slowly.

As the gal is my co-worker, I am in no rush to push anything. I backed off mainly to avoid getting in trouble but to also to not make the gal feel uncomfortable. We're all part of the same workplace so no need to make things harder than they need to be.

"see the thing with your typical aqua is they want to do things on their own terms! if you push anything, we are away in a flash!"

-so,so true!!! and this applies to BOTH aqua men and women!
