I feel like a teenager all over again shygirl2006: I have been lurking and getting more involved in this board and I must say I really enjoy this forum. Great people and good advice. My topic is about feeling like a teenager again because well, that is what I feel like lately. I want to first stress that I am actually enjoying this and having fun with it.
What is my drama? A crush! I am almost 30yrs old and I have a massive crush on a younger man! I am in the stage of seeing if he is interested or not and just enjoying it. I do not know how old he is but I’m guessing mid 20s.
We work in the same building and our shifts overlap a little bit. We do two completely different jobs and our jobs require us to be locked up and we do not have freedom to just go wander around our work places. I at times have been out on smoke breaks with him and we had small chat. Rush back to work kind of thing.
A month ago he came in off work and I ran into him. He smiles when he saw me and talked to me. I talked a little and said I had to go outside and smoke before I went back to work. He followed me outside and said he would smoke with me but his were in the car, so of course I am going to offer up the smoke for his company. We talked for awhile and it was a good conversation actually talking about personal stuff and not just work. He never mentioned a female in his life and even brought up he bought a house etc. He never said he bought one with someone. I dropped in the “I’m divorce” hint and that I have a child. The body language was okay, he paid attention to me and I did to him about our conversation. We stood across from each other and had a great conversation laughing. I finally had to go back to work and left.
A few nights later I happen to be outside with some co-workers as he was leaving work and he approached us and my co-workers left and I walked towards the door in a hurry to go back to work. I was nervous. He followed me and talked to me so I stayed and talked for a bit. Body language again was relaxed (except I was a ball of nerves) and he listened to what I had to say, smiling and interested in the conversation. We have great conversations. Some of his co-workers came out and we all chatted they left, and then one of my co-workers came out and we were all talking. I had to leave again as I was called back into work.
I don’t run into him often.
One day I ran into him and I got the nerve to at least acknowledge him. He always smiles around me and it was a quick encounter as he had to return to work.
A week ago two nights in a row he saw me as he walked by and seemed to look at me fast and just walk away. We were in no situation to talk but I was discouraged. However, the third night he walked by and I could tell he was looking towards me and I wasn’t looking up but could tell. When he was right in front of me I looked up and we locked eyes and I just smiled and he had a small smile like he was in thought. LOL I was confused after that one.
So I don’t know. Some say I should ask him out, I am not that outgoing though and rather he do it, but at the same time I do not know if he likes me. I am just waiting for some more obvious signs that it is approachable. I can tell he is shy and I am shy so that is not good.
It sucks we don’t run into each other much but also at the same time it keeps it interesting!
What do you think about this? What is your advice?
Re: I feel like a teenager all over again chaotic: Just ask him. I would be flattered beyond anything to be asked out (I dont think it has ever happened to me).
If you have been having conversations, and everything is looking good, go for it. He may be too shy to ask you, and is starting to get discouraged. Then again, maybe he was deep in thought those times trying to rehearse asking you out. Trust me I have been there. Almost walked by the woman I wanted to ask out because I was rehearsing the whole thing in my head....That sucked.
Good luck
Re: I feel like a teenager all over again corkscrew: Ask him out. Even if he says no, you'll feel kick ass for having the nerve to do it. Sounds like he digs you but might be doing the self-doubt thing too (ironically just like you).
Re: I feel like a teenager all over again Maximus: Go for it! I feel like a 21 year old all over again, only this time I have more money to buy whatever toys (bikes, cars, etc) my heart desires.
Enjoy your life!
