Right so a few months ago this new guy started at my work, I’ve thought he’s attractive from the get-go but due to working in different departments we’ve not chatted much. I found out a few weeks ago he’s quitting, he took a week off – in this time I looked to find him on Instagram but was unsuccessful.
So when he returned last week to work out his notice I decided I’ll try and get to know him in free time at work before he leaves. We’ve had a few conversations and a couple of moments within those chats where I felt we were a bit flirty, although he doesn’t give too much away and is quite relaxed, I’m an open and flirty person also very hyper active. I went to speak with him yesterday for a while before I left to go home and had planned to try and get a way to speak with him out of work but I spontaneously up and bounded out before I plucked the nerves to ask him.
Now any normal person would think ‘silly me, I’ll try again next time I see them’ – but not me. So after a lengthy conversation with a sensible friend while also scrolling through my phone to find him on the internet, I discovered he has a LinkedIn profile. My good friend told me it would be insane to message him on there considering I don’t even have an account, I agreed and closed the page.
A few hours later, five beer and a large glass of wine down it seemed like the right thing to do and I found myself creating an account and sent him a connection request. I was notified he had seen it but did not accept until almost an hour later my phone pinged to say he had connected with my account, I couldn’t believe it so I’m the midst of my weirdness and feeling I’d already gone this far, I made it worse by messaging him
‘Hi, I enjoy speaking with you and I have had some beer hence why I’m messaging you on LinkedIn’
He read it shortly after and has still not replied.
I won’t see him now for almost a week for the way our shifts line up and I am already embarrassed for when I do see him. Thank god he’s leaving.
I feel like a stalker.
