Confused_Squash Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 Hi, Sorry for the long post, and thanks in advance for reading. I just want to get some people's opinions/comments. I work at a medium size company approximately 150 employed. I'm a single guy in my mid 20's and quite well known around the office. My company hire this female worker 1 year ago, but I haven't been introduced to her until 8months ago, during our company softball tournament. I find her really attractive and chatted with her whenever possible, we had good conversation and joked around a lot (oh she is older then me by 7 years). At this time she had a boyfriend, who I met at the tournament. This guy doesn't seem to match her at all, he was shorter then her by 4-5 inches (she is 5'10"), balded and chubby; but that is besides the point. During the course of the months I would run into her once in a while; in the halls or in the printer room and we would chat for a long time. I would just keep running into her once a week and we would stop and talk. I do not work in the same department as her so our work have no relations. Our Christmas party came and she had heard stories where I was pretty crazy at these events haha. I told her that I was going to take it easy and drink moderately this time around. I headed to the dance floor and she came along, I asked how come her boyfriend isn't dancing with you and she said he is not the dancing type. The party ended and I was looking for her to tell her that a bunch of us are heading to bar/club to continue the party and if she would like to come; but no luck finding her. Mid January hit, and I was heading with some co-workers to play soccer after work. I was surprise to find her tag along. She asked me what other activities I like to do: I told her I like to weight train, play Hockey and Squash. She was very interested when I mention Squash and she would like to start playing some day. I told her to let me know whenever she is free and we can start playing, I have an extra racquet for her to use. She was excited, this all happened on a Friday. The next week, I totally forgot I mention to her about Squash. During the middle of the week, she came to my desk and asked me to set up a squash court for next week. The earliest court time I can get was 9:00pm and goes for an hour. I thought to myself that might be too late for her, and her boyfriend may be wondering why she is playing squash with some guy that late. I told her about it and asked if she would like to postpone squash until we can get an earlier time. But she said 9:00pm was good. She had fun and said the last time she played squash was back in high school. After squash I said to her I will see her at work tomorrow and headed to the locker room. I came out and saw that she was waiting for me. We walked to our cars and she gave me a hug and said thanks for the game. After that week, she would come by my area to visited me from time to time, and I would do the same with her. We would set up more and more squash game and just hang out. Anytime there is a company function she would ask if I was going to go, the answer is usually yes. A fellow co-worker sent out an e-mail about salsa dancing since he an instructor and said we would get free lessons, I have only been salsa dancing twice in my life which was a long time ago. This e-mail was sent out 1 month ago and he was trying to get a number as to who was going. She told me she was going and that I should come too. Naturally I said yes. Just last week she told me she broke up with her boyfriend and I just told her sorry to hear, I didn't want to get into it because it wasn't my business and I didn't want to get into that "friend zone". Salsa night came and she arrived earlier then me. There was 5 people from my work that showed up with thier husband/wife. Only she and I were single. The instructor started and began to show the class basic step moves. She was on one side of the room and me on the other. As the classes continued on she crept closer and closer to me. Then finally we were next to each other, the partner sequence came and I turned to her and joking said "may I have this first dance?" she just laughed and we danced. The place became a night club and we just dance with each other all night except for a few times. She kept asking me if I know of any other style of dance, I told her no and she said we should look up taking some other classes with each other. I just said sure. The night ended and we went to go eat, only one other guy came along and we just talked through the whole night. I didn't get home until 3:00am. After this night I can't help but to think she is interested in me, but there was a point in the night where she said I might be interested in her sister. I was totally thrown off with this, because I really like her and not really interested in the sister. I want to ask her out but: a) we work in the same company, b) she is 7 years older then I am, c) she just broke up with her boyfriend and d) why did she bring up her sister? Would she bring her up because she wants to see what my reaction is? Is she interested? Sorry again for the long post, I just had so much going in my head. Thanks.
