The Pedicure kit and the unrequited love interest!!
I'm continuing where I left off, with an update on the romcom story I tried to develop from our office celebration. The hallway greetings, occasional Instagram interactions, and random small talks continued. Then, I found out that my commanding crush is serving his notice period and will be permanently leaving the organization – and my reach. But this isn't a bad sign! My biggest worry about approaching him directly was the potential impact on my career and the possible embarrassing encounters if he shot me down. However, once he leaves the organization, who would care?
“I decided to ask him out a month after he left the job and had been waiting for the day with curiosity and nervousness. Eventually, the day arrived! Coincidentally, his last day coincided with a workplace celebration, and everyone bid farewell to him, but I never got to say goodbye. Instead, I opted for a text conversation and reached out. Surprisingly, he revealed that he had searched for me but couldn't find me! That moment sparked excitement, and I hyped myself, 'You got moves, girl!' Feeling motivated, I opened up about my feelings, expressing my desire to meet him and get to know him better. I asked if we could meet and see if we click.
“He appriciated my intrest but politely declined since isn't in the right emotional place for a romantic relationship. I respected his decision and understood his perspective , we agreed to catch up as friends sometimes. After all, not all real connections need to be romantic, right? I'm looking forward to getting to know him better in a friendly capacity.
