Chatted up?

[1DAD2KIDS]

Ok I think yesterday I was chatted up at work. The reason I just wonder a bit is that I am terrible of knowing when I am being chatted up by either sex. Maybe it because of low self esteem. There has been times when it has taken other people to point out to me when I am being flirted with.

Anyway to paint the picture I am a train driver by profession. There is train dispatcher at one of the stations I stop off at regular. She always seems to light up when she see its me coming into the station and we both smile and wave at each other enthusiastically as I am moving down the platform. Often there is no time to talk but on a couple of occasion we have had a brief chat on the platforms. I must admit I do fancy her, she is such a ray of sunshine and so upbeat. Anyway last time I saw her she was actually traveling on one of our trains (not at work). I said hello, we made a bit of chit chat but she didn't seem to have much interest.

But then yesterday as I come in (as normal) her face lit up and we smiled and waved. Then she when all the way down to the front of my train to talk to me. This is not normal as they normally stay close to the trains guard (drivers are billy no mates). But its what she said to me that really got me:

So how is the most hansom driver on the network today?

I replied in my normal ironic self deprecating way, you'd be surprised how much I hear that. I don't think she got my humour at first and replied no doubt you do here that a lot. But the main thing was I don't think it was a piss take, I think she was genuine in her compliment. And the following brief chat went well and I felt butterflies in my belly.

So is it just me or does this sound like she is interested and showing intent?

Well I saw her twice in passing the othet week. But unfortunately I was driving long trains. My cab stops way passed the area of the platform where she operates. The normal excited waves and smiles on approch. But sadly with about 45 sec to 1 min time at the platform no oppertunity to talk. I have not seen her again now all last week. She has no doubt rotated again.

SleightOfHand I was thinking of asking some of my guards what they know (They get to talk to the platform staff on the platforms) or my mate who works for the same company (different station). I don't like making moves in the dark. What if she is not single, what if she is not interested in dating men. Not that you can judge a book by its cover but she does have a (very cute) tomboy/non gender specific look about her. I know that appearance doesn't equal sexuality, but it did make me wonder.

AutumnRose1988 I like your seggestion. But as to Facebook I rarely use it and I like to keep only a select few friends and family on there (that why I use a alias on FB). I only have a couple of good work mates on there. Having said that it could be worth a look on their friends just on the of chance she is friends with any of them. But yes I still have a concern about being at different life stages (as unromantic and practical as that sounds). She does have an ageless look about her so any insight FB could offer would be valuable.
