@illfoandillfie turns out I never actually learn my lesson when it comes to men and work.
New job been at it for I wanna say a month at the time, was friendly with the people I had to deal with up in GC. Had a Teams meeting with his boss, my boss, the CEO’s son and him - First thing I thought and messaged the only other girl in our office?
Fuck, he’s very attractive.
I message him about work stuff maybe 2 weeks later on his mobile (didn’t really think about it being his work number, oops).
Starts messaging me, not about work. We’re very flirty, in a fun SFW way (thank fuck). He asks if I have a work phone, I tell him that it’s my personal.
He says, I feel bad for you having to take work calls on your personal so you can have mine. I tell him wow, so generous. He shoots back, “Well I’m in a generous mood”. Fuck.
We message, I wanna say, almost 24/7 for two weeks. He says he’s coming down to Melbourne before the end of the year. We flirt and laugh and we talk about things we’ll do in concept.
“Okay well let me revise that statement, I would like to go with you”.
We message a shit ton more, we flirt a lot.
We talk about dating and he mentions how his last girlfriend was South African (with a few other shared traits) like me with the 😳 emoji. We talk randomly about religion and sex before marriage - he brought it up, not me!
We joke about him booking a flight to come down asap if gave him my spare ticket to the Arctic Monkeys (my sister had already claimed it). We giggle about me planning a trip up to GC in May, for his birthday and not being willing to actually see him.
He asks me about the best areas to stay in Melbourne. He says he’s found a few really good airbnbs while we’re messaging.
We flirt a whole lot more. He tells me to come work up in GC instead of Melb. He’s “just saying….”
And then something happens and it fizzles.
I ask him for the CFOs sons personal number because A had crashed a girls dinner and paid for everyone without saying a word - I knew they were friendly because he had joked that A would be happy to take him out instead of me, when he came down to Melbourne.
He can’t come down for personal leave in December anymore - he’s thinking Feb now. But he’s still hoping he can come down for work.
Messages slow down, we joke that’s he’s flirting with one of the girls up in GC, but I get the feeling he’s not joking, not really - but not my problem, we’re just chatting.
I try to resurrect the conversation, works for a little bit but he’s not putting in the same effort and I get frustrated and mute our conversation for the rest of the weekend.
He gets grumpy and doesn’t respond after that.
And now he messages me on his work phone about work and that’s it.
I still want him to surprise me at work, with that imaginary work trip, but the weeks almost half way done and then December’s over.
I know, I’ll end up be heartbroken if he actually does come down in February and doesn’t tell me or if I hear about it from A once he’s already gone home.
I don’t think I was building things up in my head this time. But I’m not going to put myself out there again, just to get hurt.
But yeah I just thought I’d update you with my crappy relationship woes.
