I fancy the work IT guy

Ermmmmnowwhst · 2024-03-05T15:57:26+00:00

He has a really hot voice, he fixed my problems, we had a real laugh together on the phone and according to his WhatsApp photo he is seriously sexy!!!

But what if he has a 3 and a half inch floppy?

That would possibly be better than a 2.5 inch hard 🤣🤣

he works in IT. Send him a meme! That is IT guy love language. Seriously 😥

If you have an interview for next job, send a message "got an interview btw" and follow it up with an appropriate meme.

"Hi, do you fancy getting a coffee sometime?"

It's really that simple. Either he says yes, or he says no. If he says no then you'll likely never see him again so wheres the embarrassment?

He's already made the first move. It's your turn now @Ermmmmnowwhst

Yes, definitely this. What's the worst that can happen, nothing ventured nothing gained etc. Go for it. 🤞

Because (and I realise this makes me sound insane and/or a massive bunny boiler) but I only worked there for 4 days before quitting 🤣
So I have literally nothing to leverage here.
But I do think that considering I just miraged in and out it's interesting he whatsapped me....../hopeful

Message him and say omg I just had to tell you this dream I had about you - and make up some bull. That’s what the guy I was seeing last year does when he wants to remind me he’s still around (but he never does anymore than just a text or two), it’s always a dream and it’s always something really random and clearly made up!

No, seriously they are all the typical computer geek type. Some of them dress normally to be fair. But genuinely never met a hot one;,sadly. Although I’m sure their wives and girlfriends all think theirs is the hot one.

Whether someone is attractive or not is subjective after all.

So maybe - like female teachers - the “hot ones” only appear hot against a background of freakshows. And if you saw them out of context they’d be freaks too, but they appear hot due to a sort of general theory of hotness-relativity effect. Quantum hotness: simultaneously hot and not.

I work in IT. If there is a hot guy, every one fancies him - they contact so many people across the business and get to 'save' them from IT problems, so usually they have quite a few dalliances. More if they are single.

Oh come off it, it’s a bloke working in IT not James Bond, stop trying to rain on OP’s parade

OP, just WhatsApp and say oh shit you’ve poured coffee on your laptop, but he could take you out for a replacement? (Coffee not laptop)

Is that like how there are never hot women in teaching ? First rule of teaching. They always wear jumpers with scarves and big bead necklaces, flat shoes and short hair.

My dh is the 5% and I have to hold my tongue a lot during work events with some of the behaviour from other colleagues. So if he is single for for it.

We bred and had ultra techie, blonde, beautiful children.

There is never hot men in it. It’s the first rule of it. They all have long hair and wear heavy metal t shirts and leather waist coats.

Tell him you're not working properly and need turning on again.

Beat me to it !

LittleMissSleepyUK · 05/03/2024 18:13

Just ask him for a drink!!!

inneedofaglowup · 05/03/2024 17:13

You need to put up either a seriously hot WhatsApp picture so he notices and sends a compliment or something hilarious on your WhatsApp status so again he notices and responds to it.

NashvilleQueen · 05/03/2024 17:04

If it's this one then you're definitely not being unreasonable

He used to and maybe still does live where I live! Saw him out and about a couple of times. About 13 years ago though so he’s prob moved.

4 days? Thats maybe why he asked to be fair.

Aquamarine1029 · 05/03/2024 16:52

Ermmmmnowwhst · 05/03/2024 16:10

Because I don't really know how, I've only spoken to him once before so we dont have a connection and now I don't work in the same company so what am I going to say, "hi can we meet up so you can teach me more about phishing emails sometime"

Can't you ask him out over Whatsapp?

You are finding excuses not to message him. Your reasons are still not cast iron. I would counter with the option that you could say 'hey, it was a short stint. Happy to explain over a coffee?'

Then, if it goes well, you could always have the 'I only joined to meet you' stance for the wedding speech 😂

Oakstreet · 05/03/2024 16:39

Wow amazing. Bless you to be 15 again 🤣

How trite - an IT stereotype joke.

Show quote history

Such a stereotype. My new man works in IT.

Has a really sexy, deep voice and looks normal. In saying this, he still has time to prove himself to be a creep so I won't wax lyrical about him too much.

Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain · 05/03/2024 16:34

Ermmmmnowwhst · 05/03/2024 16:17

I should have spoken to you guys first as I have already missed my opportunity and conversation has ended. I should have told him I need a deep defrag.
I think I'll leave it a few weeks and then accidentally drunkenly text him

No no don’t drunkenly text him. Wait maybe a day or two and send him a friendly open ended text. One where he can ask you out. Maybe detailing your new job moves or something.

The 4 days is nothing. Maybe he’s concerned you left so soon and maybe he liked you from your IT interactions.
