thecrazyfinn Posted September 3, 2013 Posted September 3, 2013 Hi everyone, I'm new here, and I'm going to apologize in advance for writing a long first post, haha. I am just in desperate need of advice regarding a crush I've just recently started having. I just returned from a two-week training course for my job. All of the new hires for my practice convened in a city on the east coast for this time and it was a ton of fun - the company gets a nice hotel, provides us with food, provides activities for us to do when not training, etc. One week ago, while I was still at the training, I met a guy who works at another office location of my same company. We had to work on a mini group project together and sat in the same room for 3 days. While I didn't spend much time with him, I got to learn a little about him, sat with him at lunch once, and eventually asked for his number (granted, I asked for another girl from my group's number at the same time - I didn't want to be too obvious, haha). We texted the last two nights of the training, and somewhat tried to meet up. He even mentioned at one point that there was a decent chance he would need to come to my city for work - not sure if that was flirting or just stating a fact. Anyway, the problem was that our two groups of friends wanted to do different things, so we didn't get to see each other again before training ended. I'm afraid that I came off as disinterested and flaky, when in reality I so badly wanted to have seen him. I texted him the day we left saying it was nice meeting him, that I hoped to see him again soon, and asked him to add me on facebook. He did so, but we haven't talked since. It's been three days since I've been back from training and I find myself becoming more and more interested in him, as odd as that sounds. The problem is that he lives a state away at the moment and probably doesn't even realize I'm interested in him. We are both starting our first days of actual work with our company tomorrow and I so badly want to text him to ask him how is first day is. I want him to know that I'm interested, but I don't want to be obnoxious... Overall, I guess my question is: how do I show this guy that I'm interested (despite the slight distance/working for the same company/not having interacted that much) without being creepy? Is it even a good idea, or is it too random that I like him this much? I might add that I have been interested in moving to his area for quite some time, regardless of him, so on the off chance it did work out, it wouldn't have to be LD forever... Ugh I hate crushes.
Philosoraptor Posted September 3, 2013 Posted September 3, 2013 Worst you can do is find out he's not interested. I'd go for it and at least get that "what if" thought out of your head. I'd ding him after his first day and ask him how it was, use that to start a conversation and see how that goes.
