I’m back from my lunch and I need some more advice, this time about coworkers and boys
Ok so last week a guy came in (I wasn’t there, I was off that day) and presumably my coworker liked him or knew him before that, I don’t really know how it began. But anyway, they ended up going out on a date on Thursday and my coworker was overall a bit disappointed. Not because the date was bad or anything but just because they didn’t seem to have that much in common and were just totally different and my coworker was disappointed because other than that he’s was really nice and good looking too. Basically she’s really into her cars and stuff like that whereas this guy is more into gaming and geeky stuff.
So she was talking about it on Friday and she and another coworker both said I should talk to him instead because they kind of know I’m into that sort of stuff (I don’t talk about it with any of them so I don’t think they quite know the extent to which I’m into ‘geeky’ things…).
And then at the lunch today she was saying that she didn’t meet up with him again and that he’s too geeky for her and has a gaming room but he’s otherwise really nice and another coworker then looked at me and basically said I should go for it.
I am interested but the thing is… How does this work? Were my coworkers, specifically the one who went out with him, being serious when they said I should talk to him? Or was it just one of those things where someone says you should do something but they actually don’t want you to??
And if she did really mean it how the hell do I even start something like that? What do I say to my coworker to get his details without it being awkward? And if I do get his details what the fuck do I say to him???
Maybe I should just forget it, I don’t understand social etiquette like this and I’m too awkward and sfglkjsglk;ndmj,shk
