Okay, help me, I'm such a tit.
Basically, I assumed there was some back and forth subtle flirting between me and a colleague (same office but not part of the same dept)
He would smile at me, would catch him looking at me while I was working, whenever I walked by him he would stare at me, and follow me with his eyes until I sat back down. We've been trying to strike up chat here and there in passing, but I get so flustered I end up making excuses and going back to my desk.

Anyway, after months of this, and I mean months! I decided to add him in Facebook, I'd been toying with the idea for a while but put it off for some reason or another. However, it took about 2 week for him to accept, no big deal I thought, must not use his account regularly... the day after, I decided to send him a PM, basically just saying hi etc.. hes read it and not replied. I'm so mortified, I feel I've misjudged everything and I'm dreading work tomorrow now.

Please can someone find me a black hole I can jump into.

@Bellesboo2 what happened???? Am over invested

Bellesboo2 · 08/11/2019 19:08

I walked in, head up and strutting my stuff. (Clearly not looking where I was going) I then didnt realise there was a bag on the floor... and had a tiny stumble over my feet Blush to avoid it.

What's the text? What's the text?

simplekindoflife · 08/11/2019 19:49

What did he text??

Bit late to the party but there's nothing wrong with sending a friend's request and the message u sent! You've done nothing to be embarrassed about... except the stumble maybe! Grin

Another overly invested one here!🙋🏽‍♀️What did he text?

angell84 · 08/11/2019 19:57

@Bellesboo2 for god sake calm down. You said hello to someone on facebook. He hasn't replied yet.

Why are you over reacting this much?

byefeliciabye · 08/11/2019 19:58

@angell84 Why are you being so rude?

angell84 · 08/11/2019 20:03

@byefeliciabye you think that is rude? I think it is tame.

Calling someone a f@€king idiot - would be rude.

I don't see the epic,epic disaster in texting some one hello on facebook and waiting for them to reply.

What an over reaction

Fairylea · 08/11/2019 20:04

Shamelessly placemarking for text reveal!

EmmaC78 · 08/11/2019 20:05

Come on OP, what did the text say ? Grin

byefeliciabye · 08/11/2019 20:06

@angell84 There are varying degrees of rudeness and yes, I think your post is rude. If you don't like the thread then move along. All you're doing is invalidating the OP's feelings because you wouldn't feel/act the same in her situation.

angell84 · 08/11/2019 20:08

Okay @byefeliciabye

Champagnetaste · 08/11/2019 20:15

Don’t leave us hanging, what did the message say

1CantPickAName · 08/11/2019 20:17

RightEarlobeBreath · 08/11/2019 20:18
