So uhm conundrum...problem...issue...
There's this coworker who is leaving soon and he and I don't date coworkers.
Buuuuut everyone and I mean every single other employee seems to think we either are or should be dating and several are friggin shipping it.
He and I have matched once before years ago on a dating app and last month he popped up as a higher compatibility match on this other app I was using like high too (93% as in 93% chance of being together for awhile and working out). I told him where I knew him from at work after he popped up again and everyone joked about it would make comments to him anyways, I just found out they all ship it!!! Of course this was after I maimed his wrist a little bit, I dug my fingernails in and pulled while fighting over a stupid lighter...it's healed, he holds it over my head but eh whatever.
And I actually do like him he is older than I am but we just kinda click??? Oddly enough we like a fair amount of things. And our conversations the last 3 days we've worked together have been dorky and random and comfortable as well as childish at the same time if it makes sense.
I told him to grow a pair and ask me out on a date already yesterday and he reminded me of the rule we share to which i pointed out thaaat he is leaving in seven (7) days and he should ask me out that last day he then laughed and said it's 2023 you could be asking me out and this is where my issue, conundrum, problem lies:
I've always been the one to ask a guy out, or plan the date or suggest we do something.
I want a guy to ask me because the first one who does I will dead ass say yes. But do I tell this man why I won't ask him?? Or just let it be and wonder what could've been?!?!
