- at work, there is a male coworker who isn't bad looking, that i enjoy talking to about sports (he's an alum of the U, me BYU; he loves the Suns, I the Lakers; he's rooting for the Heat, I prefer the Mavs (at least in this series). needless to say, we have some fun and interesting conversations/arguments. he stops by my office, which i share with my female coworker Jen, fairly often, to talk sports. yesterday as Jen and I went to lunch with the receptionist Triena, Jen mentioned that said male coworker comes by our office WAYYYY more often than he did before i worked there. doesn't seem to be a bad thing, right? until you take into consideration the fact that this guy is MARRIED. (yes, i always seem to attract the married ones). jen told me she didn't think it was anything in regards to infidelity, just said that she was making an observation. but now it had me worried/concerned. so when we got back from lunch, and he stopped by our office, again, i couldn't help but laugh. and feel SUPER awkward, knowing this little fact. even today, i was acting a bit more stand-offish towards him, because now i'm not sure how to act.
- today, i had to follow a coworker to the mechanics to pick up a car, and then i would drive the work car back to the office. not a problem. until i tried to park the car. i could not for the life of me figure out how to put the car into park. i know, i know, i've been driving for 7.5 years now, i should have a handle on it, right? wrong. it was a brand of car i'd never driven, so i wasn't knowledgeable on how to move from D to P. i was dumbfounded, and called Triena to help me. The coworker i had driven finally showed up at the office and couldn't figure out why i was having problems, until he thought about it and realized i needed to push the gear shifter DOWN and then move it. well, duh. of course. makes perfect sense...NOT. i felt dumb. super dumb.
- tonight: rec softball. attractive umpire (from a previous post). OBVIOUSLY i chose to scorekeep on his field. and what luck! we had two forfeits in a row. which let us sit and chat in the sunshine for TWO HOURS. glorious. until i found out he has THREE kids at home and a fourth on the way. boo. but oh my gosh. our conversation was stupendous. until we got on the topic of dating. and i reiterated my distaste for the whole idea of dating because of this reason or that. and then he told me stories of his dating history. and then he said, "i would totally ask you out on a date for the sheer reason that i know it would be fun and we'd be able to have a conversation since we just spent the last two hours talking, and this is only the second time we've worked together." GAH. i die. what do i say to that?! thanks? too bad you're MARRIED and a FATHER?! geez. it really is unfortunate because he's: attractive, easy to talk to, interesting, older, mature, and TOTALLY the type of guy i'm looking for right now. oh my life. the irony. and the awkwardness. not to mention his wife's name is the name of another certain individual's wife. *ick* that name has been ruined for me forever now. such a shame. and their meet story is adorable. and he wasn't sure when he first met her because she was only 18. and they've been happily married for 6 years. *tear* really? why can't i be that lucky to find a guy as great as him??
on each of these notes, why is it that all the attractive married guys i meet can see how fantastically awesome i am? and why do they TELL ME they would have dated me back in the day? what is WRONG with all the guys i know/meet? why are they intimidated by me and can't manage to ask me out, but the unavailable ones can see what a catch i am? can someone please explain this to me??
guys these days are not what they used to be. i wish i knew the explanation for this myself.
ReplyDeletein regards to a mini diploma: what is the lame one?! i will be making a few calls when i return to the states because i really really reallyyyyy want the mini one!
in regards to my lastest post: you are funny. i probably would have really embarrassed myself if i actually wrote embarazAso or embarasada, but alas i double checked all my sources (pocket spanish dictionary and google translate) a few times and made sure i was correct in writing embarazOso. both told me it means embarrassing! it would have been quite hilarious if i had called myself pregnant though. keep on commenting, i love it! and i can't wait to find out what color you are!
and ps what are you? people ask me that exact question all the time as in what ethnicity i am. i don't have a cool last name like you to prove that i'm half mexican, but abilez definitely sounds like it could be spanish or something. is it? and do you speak spanish fluently? you are wonderful, not awkward. keep it real, gf!
You just have to wait for the right one to come around and he'll make all of this worth it. Don't try to force anything, just let it be :)
