Speaking of romantics, I think I've drawn the eye of another coworker. At first I wasn't entirely sure it was me he was talking about. A few weeks after I first started working, he had made a comment about me being much cuter than someone else. It was a nice compliment, but it was partly in jest in the context of the conversation so I didn't think anything of it.

That was about 2 months ago. Just this past week he had said my hair looked beautiful and that he liked curly hair (I have long given up on straightening my hair, so now it just does what it wants). He went as far to say that the gods would be jealous of my hair XD We also decided that I am Captain America, proceeded to geek out about comic books, and he casually suggested I should go over to his house sometime and read comic books.

This is, personally, my favourite pick up line to date.

It was here that I started clueing in on it. You have to understand, I am absolutely terrible at flirting. And I don't mean "Oh, you're such a dirty flirt," kind of a flirt, more like "........what?" I, seriously, can not tell when someone else is flirting or interested in me.

Unless they say it plainly. Or, apparently, become stalkerish.

He had told Kyle, his roommate and one of my work buddies in my department (the guy in question works on the other side of the store in another department) that he was falling in love with someone. This was a couple days after the cute compliment. We were teasing him lightly about it and I asked who the lucky person was but he was all hush hush with Kyle about it. I didn't think anything of it until now.

After what had happened last time I thought I liked someone(stalker gut), I felt a bit more cautious about it. But I have known him much longer and enjoy his company when I am in it. Since piecing this all together, I am still not entirely sure he is talking about me, but I find myself thinking of him often now.

I had said previously said that I can't quite tell the difference between anxiety and excitement (quite possibly love as well, why do they all have to be similar in feeling but different in context?) But this does feel different, as far as I can tell. At least that's what my brain and heart keep telling me.

Sigh.... I am not one to ask someone these things. Until otherwise noted, I will just continue to enjoy his company.
