Well the thing is this was the first (and definitely the only) time I ever tried the "workplace romance" thing. She was flirting with me for a couple months before I took the chance and asked her if she was single, told her I was interested, and asked for her number. There's no way she could have misconstrued my intentions.
We talk on the phone and stuff. I take her out. Things seem to be going pretty good from my perspective. There's no rush.
Then during one of our conversations she lets me know the "friend" crap. She actually had the nerve to say these words:
"I didn't lead you on did, I?"
Me: "..." (starts thinking about the super lowcut v-neck sweater she wore with her triple d's smacking me in the face across the table)
Me: "Well, I did think you were interested in me as well"
Her: "I am...as a friend".
After a few more phone convos that determined she was not playing hard to get (unless she was playing reallyreallyreallyreallyreally hard to get) I decided to stop wasting my time.
Now months later after no communication (except for a "what's up" or whatever if I happened to come in for some overtime on her shift) she wants me to call her? Couldn't she have been calling me if she wanted to talk?
Ehhhhh...broads! *pulls out (root) beer and stuffs hands down pants Al Bundy style*
