So I hear that this is an oddly successful combo and I'd like to know more. There's a man I work with who I've been attracted to for a while but never did anything about it (hey, it's the office. I don't want to embarrass myself or anything). We don't work in the same department and therefore rarely see each other. But I get the feeling he's attracted back. I make a point to set up happy hours every once in a while and he's gone but usually he's got other commitments, like a second job or he's on some basketball team thing (otherwise he'd go more often). He recently added me to his facebook profile out of the blue--and he only has a total of 20 friends so it's not like he adds every random person he meets. I've caught him looking at me during meetings and he never seems to look at me unless he thinks I can't see him.
So that's pretty much it. I'm thinking of starting to subtly showing how I feel to him; he seems shy..is this typical Gemini behavior? Nothing overt at all, just casual flirting. Any suggestions?
Please don't lecture me about office romance; I'm not going to do anything to embarrass myself! If I get the slightest hint that he's not on board I'll abort mission. This is also both of our first jobs out of college so neither of us plans on staying at this office forever (in case that matters)
Thanks! Just curious, why do you think there's a love interest? One of my coworkers has been trying to set us up ever since I started working there 2 years ago (I've asked her not to do anything as I prefer to keep control of the situation though). He was in a relationship up until, I'd say, 7 months ago. It was a short-lived thing though.
I thought if he liked me he'd approach me. However I learned that he's got the same worries I do about dating within the workplace. My matchmaker/coworker told me so.
You've got good taste in movies! Spirited Away is of course one of my favorite anime movies too 🙂
My dad is a gemini and we get along really well! I just need to figure out a way to get him to come out as a group. He told me he can really only go out on one day of the week so I'm setting something up for next week...let's hope it works!
M&M: I can never be 100% sure there isn't another girl in the picture...really all I know is he broke up with this girl several months ago and he's currently listed as single on facebook. I thought maybe you had a psychic vision or something! 😛
Oh, M&M I'd love to screw him! 😉 If only he knew...I haven't been seeing him around lately, just in the hallways on occasion. But I'm starting to wonder if I should ask for some assistance from my 'matchmaker' coworker. I just don't want things to get out of control or weird. That was something I did in high school (although I have to say corporate life isn't much different from HS)
I believe if you can get the ball rolling this match can work. My bf is a scorpio and things are going well. One thing i know is that if someone takes to long to show interest i usually move on to the next person. So you may want to formulate a plan so you can hang out. How about getting the cower/ matchmaker to arrange drinks after work. That way it's an informal get together. What happens after that...Well... you'll have to tell us.
I have been out with him during social situations but only briefly (I usually had to leave shortly after he arrived). We've been talking casually for the past few weeks, but I've been swamped with work AND have had several boys from the past trying to get back together with me, which has taken some of my energy away. I swear, is there something in the cosmos that made all these guys think it was cool to call me?
We're possibly going out to lunch today as a big group and we've got a company outing coming up so we've got some opportunities to make a move. I'll be out of town on business for the next few weeks though... I'll keep y'all updated (hopefully with juicy details!)
dont know about the love scale but i have lots of friends who are scorps. Love em! even tho they have some issues expressing there problems with you once they feel like it might hurt the friendship. Other then that its kool.
