Ok, quick situation report simply cos its p*ssed me off today.
I work in a pretty small firm, theres about 40 staff total, and its finance so its pretty much at least 80% guys.. To top it off of the few of us that are under 30 all the others are in LTRs/married/have kids.. so essentially untill recently work contributed zero to my social life.
Now, a while ago, this chick who had just finished her 2nd year of uni (she's 20) came to work for us for the summer.. then another girl (whos about 23 I think) came on full time, (I'm 26 (just) btw) the 3 of us quickly formed a little social unit, going to lunch together and stuff and the pub now and then sow work got a bit more fun for me.. Anyway, today the older girl was getting into a ******ng session about the woman who is office manager and stirring up trouble implying we shouldn't be hanging around together as we're not working or whatever.. Then she mentioned as an aside, "since we're getting things out in the open, she reckons you two have something going on" I just smiled and laughed, the younger girl got really mad though, "I can't believe she'd say that". etc. etc. "I hate when people assume if I'm talking to a guy I must be sleeping with him" and then, "well I guess I should change the way I am around you then" I don't think she should change the way she is, trouble is it seems to have really got to her.. she's taking it a bit too seriously, I reckon either cos its a bit close to the bone and she likes me, or maybe she doesn't at all and is offended by the idea!
we've been flirting a bit recently but nothing much really, otherwise we just get on pretty well. Oh, well except once when I was doing some work with her and my boss came over to talk about it and she started rubbing my ankles with her feet under the desk.. So, when she did that I thought maybe I can get something out of this after all. (But its only the once, a few days ago, she's done anything like that) She's going back to uni in september (miles away) so it's ideal to try and get her as a little fling over the summer (i don't think I'd wanna date her) and then forget about it..
Who knows.. hopefully she'll realise its just stupid gossip and ignore it.
