Small work guy update:

I officially told him I like him. He said he likes me back but it was really awkward and we were leaving work.

BUT HEY HE LIKES ME BACK WHOOP WHOOP 🕺🕺 we will see how it goes tomorrow 👁👁

Omg omg omg I’m so glad you told him how you feel!!! Maybe it was an awkward moment to say it, but it’s out in the open and it’s mutual! That’s incredible, I’m super happy for you. I can’t wait to see what happens next, I am following this story like my life depends on it 🙏🏻

[subtle-edge-of-rot]

Sorry I have been busy with school and work, but yes, workguy came through <3

We haven't established anything big and we are still a little awkward, but I have a lot more confidence with this outcome than at the beginning of the work season. He wants to hang out when we get laid off for the winter and said it would work out more because then neither of us really have school or work. He and I were going to go and see Peepaw, but unfortunately, he was out of town today and idk if we can go after halloween since I am going out of town Thursday-Sunday. I do plan on asking and seeing if he wants to maybe go to a haunted house with me after he gets out of work on halloween though!

He has been very sweet to me though and he shows me tons of memes and I love it lmao. Plus he has interests in the music I like and if the interest was real, I might have someone to go with me and see Static-x in April :)

The only slight downfall is he might be moving next year about 4ish hours away for family matters. Which is chill because I feel like our connection is a LOT stronger so I think the distance would be alright. Plus the school I wanna transfer to is about an hour closer to him :) I have a couple plans and am hoping they will let him know that I am in fact interested in him because my anxiety isn't allowing me to just straight up tell him. I try to and I get super anxious and nearly send myself into a panic attack since I am worried he'll wind up like the last couple of guys I've fallen for and they rejected/ghosted me or used me. I truly don't think he would ever do anything horrible, and I truly do think he likes me back, but my anxiety is being stubborn lmao. Hopefully, it all works out. I am hoping tomorrow I can maybe pull a move

Also I have put myself on anonymous because I think he has tumblr and idk if I can handle him having my tiktok and Tumblr LMAOO Idk how he would find this, but it makes me feel better so </3

Sorry this took me fucking ages to respond to, I’ve been slacking on asks because I’m so up in my head and my feelings and it’s been a whirlwind.

I am legitimately so happy for you! I’m glad that it wasn’t a bad ending like we thought it was. I’m really glad he pulled through and that you guys are figuring things out. No need to establish things right away, just enjoy it for what it is right now, worry about the rest later 🖤 maybe you guys can watch PeePaw together on Peacock? And a haunted house would be fun!

And he likes the same music? That’s always a plus, y’all can sing in the car together and not argue about what to turn on (well, there will always be moments but still)!

Long distance is difficult but I think it’s possible to do. You guys could meet halfway on some weekends or something! I don’t think he’ll ghost you or reject you or use you, especially not if he was hung up on you enough to reach out again after silence. I don’t think it’s like that.

And omg omg work guy might have a tumblr? Shit we’ll keep your identity lowkey then when it comes to work guy updates 🖤

So...

Work guy came around and we're going on a date to go see the new Halloween 👍 I guess he stopped talking with me when I started working by myself because he was scared I didn't feel the same way about him. But now we're even closer, have multiple inside jokes, and are unofficially dating (pretty much the awkward first date stage LMAO because homies I cannot flirt/establish dating stages?)

In better news

ORIAN GOT A CUTE DATE TO GO SEE MIKEY WHOOP WHOOP 🙌🙌🕺🕺

WAIT WORK GUY CAME THRU??? GOOD FOR YOU BESTIE!!! SO HAPPY FOR YOU! Yeah this is definitely a date and it sounds like you two are pretty much already a thing. Tell us how it all goes!!!

ORIAN GOT A CUTE DATE TO GO SEE PEEPAW Y’ALL 🎉🎊🍾🥳

[subtle-edge-of-rot]

Well, I think it is time to put work gut behind me. I was gonna see if he would change, but it's been nearly 2 weeks and he hasn't talked to me. Our other coworkers have stopped to talk to me, yet he hasn't. I tried to talk to him today and he ignored me. Our other coworker had to answer my question. But my boss asked the same questions and he answered her. My theory that he likes my boss is feeling more and more real, even though she's married. I have chosen to move on and focus on video games and big tiddie slasher men LMAO thank you for letting me gush about him before I found out he was a complete and total douché :)

Noooooo!!! Work Guy you done goofed 😡 he sounds like he’s been rude as hell.

I’m sorry things didn’t work out. Take some time to manifest the type of person you want and to love yourself.

I’m right there with you chasing after big tiddy slasher bfs. Men are trash.

[subtle-edge-of-rot]

Fuck Work Guy and not in a positive way >:( he drove by and waved, but then snuck in through the park later so he didn't have to drive by me. Then he went around the back and didn't even wave at me. Kind of mad at him ngl. I feel like I wasted my time on him, even our other employees stopped to talk to me for a little bit. Idk man, if he doesn't straighten up I might move on completely, I'm not trying to jump out of my way for a gut again. I'll talk if he shows interest, but this is kind of hurtful negl

Anyways, I hope you're having an amazing day and I will now be reading fics to make me feel better

What?! This is NOT the news I wanted to hear 😠

But one thought I have is maybe he wasn’t trying to avoid you? Or maybe he’s shy? Idk but I’m sorry he’s acting sus. Don’t write him off completely yet but if he continues with this kind of thing, move on.

Sorry you’re going through it Ori. Love and light to you!

[subtle-edge-of-rot]

Hey there Payton! I hope you're having an amazing day and congrats on almost 800 followers, or maybe you already have 800, idk lmao.

Anyways, I have come with what may be the last update I have with Work Guy. Saturday was unfortunately the last day that I get to work with him until probably August/September. Unless my boss can find someone to work the position that I have to fill in.

So, on Saturday he shared a lot with me. A lot of it was personal and cute family stories. He even showed me photos of his baby pigs since neither of us really have the time for me to go out there and look at them. It's kind of busy for us both, but I don't mind since he showed me pictures 😌 He remembered that I wanted to see them at least haha

He was also telling me about these motorcycle trips that he wants to go on, and that got me real excited. I love motorcycles, and I plan on learning this summer(I think I already said that before lmao.) But he was telling me about them and I told him a few that I wanted to go to. I said that I wanted to find a friend or two that would be willing to go with me, but didn't know if it would be too weird to say that we could go, maybe. Especially since we haven't hung out outside of work, yet.

Then his riding lawnmower that he was using kept dying on him. So he would come to look for me to get me to help him jump it. He was so freaking cute when he would come over. He would have his head ducked down, watching his feet until I stopped weed eating, then he would look up at me and give me a half smile and ask me to help him. I swear he looked like a lost puppy. He did catch me singing away to Stone Temple Pilots. I don't know if he actually heard me over the weed eater, or if he just saw me bobbing my head. He was smiling all goofy at me though 😭

He did end up looking for me again. I wandered off to weed eat the other side of the camp ground and when I was heading back to the truck to put more gas in it he was looking around for me and it was so fucking cute. He saw me and came over to me to ask me if I would help him jump the mower, again. The battery is shit, honestly.

Then when we were leaving for the day. I did tell him, "If you ever wanna go fishing, just let me know." Because I got nervous and I know he likes fishing even though he says he never has the time to. I didn't wanna say something that would be like- idk weird or lame. He just smiled down at me, since we were walking side by side to our vehicles and was all "Oh yeah?" And I got nervous and just nodded my head and said "Yeah, I could always use more fishing buddies." Which he just chuckled at and nodded. He didn't really say much so I hope I didn't say the wrong thing.

He does have to drive by the Pay Booth that I'll be working in starting tomorrow. So we'll see if he actually stops and talks with me for a bit, or if he just drives by like he and the guys last year did and just give me a quick wave. I don't really blame them since last year none of us really knew one another. Work Guy trained me last year for the Booth, but that was it. I was really awkward and he was too so we never tried to be friends until this year when we worked together every day for a little over a month. I really hope he comes to talk to me, but idk we'll see. I'm not really trying to chase a guy ever again or look needy, I don't need to be used again 😭 I'm hoping since I offered to let him go with my friends and I to the movies a couple weeks ago, also that I offered to go fishing with him if he ever wants to then he'll end up trying to reach out. Idk, we'll see. It has reached the waiting game era.

Hi Ori! I hope you’re having/had a good day! I’m not to 800 yet, still hanging out at 799! Hopefully we get to the big 800 here soon, I’m so excited!

Nooo this can’t be the last update!!! I love these updates so much.

I’m glad he opened up and showed you his piglets and he looked out for you. I think he’s gonna miss having you around, considering how often his battery died and he specifically asked *you* for help. I bet he can’t wait for August/September rolls around so he can see you at work again.

Definitely invite him to go fishing sometime! Don’t give up or anything. It sounds like he was happy you offered.

I’m sure he’s gonna say hi to you at the pay booth. It sounds like you two hit it off!

Work guy update:

I hope you're doing well and oh boy 😃 a lot has just happened TODAY at work 😭

So it has been pretty swell with the homie. He's been more open, I've been more open. I reconnected with a guy I used to like and I was questioning if I still liked him and I was moving onto work guy because I didn't wanna date said friend because he is moving in a couple months for seven months for college.

Well

I feel like Work Guy just sensed I was questioning if I really liked him because homie was pretty touchy today 🤨 in respectful ways, but like- he has never touched me before. He keeps brushing his hand against my arms/hands. I was struggling trying to fix something and he got behind me and put his hand on mine to help 😃 like homeboy, thank GOD I don't have a dick frfr

But then he told me about something personal and I was shocked because he hates talking about it with people.

THEN we got to where we had to mow at the lake. Homie went looking for me because I wandered off to talk with our boss. I was talking and she giggled and was all "[NAME] is looking for you." And I turned around, and sure enough he was looking in the truck and then around the truck for me. When he saw me he came over to ask if I would go with him back to the shop to get the other mower. He normally makes the other guys stay and goes by himself, and I could have stayed to weed eat. But he insisted I came to help.

Then when we got to the lawn mower it's a little push mower. He had me help him lift it into the truck, so leaning down our faces were right next to one another. When we got back to the camp ground, though. He lifted it out by himself with zero problems. I feel like he's having me help with 90% of this stuff just so I'm near him 🕴 so me being me was all. "Why did I have to go then?" And he said "I don't know, honestly." And then I told him I was just giving him shit to make sure he didn't feel bad or anything lmao

But yeah, this is fr all just from today, and rn is lunch. So this all happened in the span of 4 hours 😭 man's be giving me butterflies fr

But also ily and I hope you're having a great day! Drink some water and don't forget to eat something today! :)) 💙💚

Ahhhhhhhh I think he likes you!!!

That’s all so wholesome and sweet. I love romance. The slow build is sweet torture. Enjoy this!

He’s leaving lingering touches and helping a lot more, making sure you’re around and coming with him in the truck. Yeah I really think he likes you. Keep us updated!

Also ily2 please take care of yourself today! Water, meds (if needed), food 🖤

Work guy update!

Sorry, it's been a stressful few days so I've laid off social media for a bit lmao but I have updates

He has bigger tiddies than me. That's it. That's the cake.

LMAO okay fr this time. He and I have been talking a lot at work :) we work alone for the most part, now, and we get to just chat about only God knows what. He's told me a lot about his family and even offered to take me to his pig farm when his one sow has her babies 🤭

I got gutsy and asked if he wanted to go to the movies with some of my friends and I. He really likes Marvel, and he said he hadn't been to the movies since the Live Action Jungle Book came out. So I offered. He said "Hey, thanks for the offer, I'm not going to be able to make it, but thanks". Which was okay, I was a bit disappointed, but it worked since I ended up not going because my friends pissed me off.

(I live 30 miles from town, had to stop my chores to head to town, got to the movies at 3:20 because it started at 3:30. No one was showing up and I THANKFULLY texted the guys I was going with before I bought my ticket because they decided they were going to the 4:15 show and didn't tell me. So I just went and hung out with another friend.)

But I was talking to Work GuyTM today and he said he was out of town or else he would have went, so I told him I ended up not going but if he gets time our next day off we could go, and he said maybe 👀 so 👀👀

I might ask him to go fishing with me instead though, that way we can talk and goof around instead of sitting through Doctor Strange since both of us are kind of scared to watch it with how Marvel's been lately LMAO

Oh, the other day he found a black Widow. I pointed it out because it was trying to fall from its web onto him and he grabbed it by the web and fr walked it outside like a dog. This man is fr crazy lmao

ALSO HE WAS LIKE LISTING OFF ALL THE GOOD QUALITIES OF ALASKA BECAUSE HE WANTS TO MOVE THERE??? I-

He didn't straight up tell me to move, but it felt like he was hinting and trying to see if I would ever move away from where we lived. He seemed interested when I said I'd rather move up North than South(Texas got brought up) because I prefer the cold. He was all "yeah, me too, love the cold." And then he started telling me about his plans for Alaska or Montana. Which I've thought about moving to Montana tbh.

He also was telling me about scars he has and all that jazz. I want to hold his hand fr. I wish America wasn't weird about physical affection towards friends, and that I didn't get overstimulated so easily 😭

He also started bringing extra water for both our water bottles- like- love this guys heart, it's so big fr

Sorry it took me so long to see this update, I’ve been in a mood lately and I’ve kinda checked out, but I’m feeling better today!

Wow a lot has happened! He seems like a genuinely sweet guy who’s testing the waters to see if you two are compatible 😌 also you better go see the piglets at the pig farm!!! Pigs are so cute. And this guy isn’t a pig but he also sounds cute so double cuteness.

For real keep us updated I love seeing all my friends out here being happy and having new experiences and possibly falling in love 🥰
