My archenemy

Immediately upon starting work and being introduced to this cute co-worker of mine, I decided to make a concerted effort to tease her like a smitten schoolboy. Later, I realized that she had a boyfriend, but that only made it easier by removing the pressure to succeed and just giving me the freedom to have fun with it. Nevertheless, the poor

Oh my god that is long - I can now see why you waited so long to write it. I will read it later, right now I have a lovely Physics lab to finish. You should watch The Office if you don't already though. From your first paragraph, it sounds so much like it already.

I have seen a few episodes of the office so I know what you are talking about and I can see how you made the connection.

I am so fucking drunk right now

Thanks for sharing.

You are making great strides in confronting your fears, for this I have swellings of pride in the cockles of my being. Be forewarned, however, that you do not let this behavior develop into a crutch. I assume that, if not for the boyfriend, you would have romantic interest in this girl. With that being the case, you currently have a great setup should she ever exit her current relationship; you aren't the sensitive fawning friend who she will go to with her problems, you're her fun coworker friend and have a relationship that could easily progress into heavy flirting in the onset of a breakup. If that point comes, I can only have faith that you will do the right thing. And then get you some tang.

excellent story, good to hear you are getting along so well ;).

Along the lines of what ross said. One of the best things I did when I got to Washington was search myspace for women available in the area. I messaged one of them, and after talking to her a lot, I started to realise that I was getting too attatched too quickly considering I had only talked to her online. So I messaged two other girls and started talking to them as well, to keep my mind off of just one. I still told each one of them what I was doing, which peeked their interest towards me, and eventually went out with each one.

It just so happens that one of the girls I messaged to get my mind off the first one is now the girl I love(and am in a wonderful relationship with)... but it just goes to show you, that when you don't focus on just one, it makes it a lot easier, and sometimes something even better can come along.(atleast it did for me) :D.

I'm glad you liked the story. I really lost track of what I was trying to do with it after a while, so it pleases me that people have read it and perhaps enjoyed it.

If I ever meet multiple attractive women that are single, I will certainly heed your advice.

i really don't know why i wrote that. it seemed appropriate at the time.

Hrm, that story wasn't depressing (as I thought it would be). All you told me was there are 2 cute girls at work, and both have boyfriends (one of which is cool, and one of which is not so cool). With this full version now revealed, it actually seems like there could be possies. Hope is good, but nevertheless, it's also a dangerous thing, as my boy pross alluded to.

Wow, that one paragraph about her being the social hour organizer and you being dragged there, partly against your wishes... Did you realize that was the exact same situation I was in? I got chills. We can only hope that your story will have a different (happy) ending, though.

Are you still planning on going to school again or are you reconsidering?

Um, is your LJ linked in your AIM profile, and do you use AIM at work? You know where I'm going with this.

[spaldawg]

You thought my story was going to be depressing and yet you still clamored for it? Oh well, at least one of the four people that demanded that I finish/post it actually commented.

I think I may have inadvertently implied that I was hoping to see a romantic relationship develop out of this eventually (since everyone seems to be trying to give me relationship advice). In truth, I have reached my goal and am extremely satisfied with our current relationship and am seeking nothing more.

I still have not decided about school either way. At this current moment though, odds are in favor of going back to school.

I am not that stupid. Not only do I no longer even have an lj link in my aim profile (which you should have known), but we don't use AIM at work either (which you also should have known seeing as how you don't see me online during the weekdays).

the post was so perfect that it didn't need to be commented on. hey, at least you interact with people instead of spending all your time in a dimly lit room staring at a 17" screen for the majority of your life...
