Met my new coworker today šŸ˜

The girl who did the dishes with me today at work, and will be doing the dishes together going forward was this very pretty 30 year old bilingual Latina woman who was real cool. Man I thought I set a bad first impression because I was so tired off two hours of sleep that I could barely speak. But I don’t think it was as bad as I thought. . My voice was very soft and I didn’t feel comfortable completely. I told her I was taking Spanish class next week and I got to practice my Spanish a little with her. She was cool about everything, she was ready for any conversation. At one point she got angry at me, and then she apologized. She lives in my city and she’s from the Bronx where my whole family is from. Her brother is my other coworker or one of them and he seems chill too. This girl is pretty tall, I kept pointing it out because her brother is shorter than her, I thought that was interesting. I said at one point " I never thought dishwashing could be so fun " and she went awwwww. As if she was the reason it was fun, I didn’t want to burst her bubble so I just went along. But does it sound like she likes me at all? I made most of the conversation I think but she was cool. I’ve shared before I really like Latina women and she showed me why. Also are you supposed to make friendships at work like that. I’ve heard mixed things. You don’t ā– ā– ā– ā–  where you eat I’ve heard, I’ve also heard work is the place to meet people for someone like me. I almost told her I was Sz and then I said I would wait for another day. I just want her to know why I had job services help me out. But I’m not gonna tell her just yet or anyone for that matter even though my bosses probably know. Who knows she could have a boyfriend for all I know but oh well. She’s definitely the coolest of the girls at my work to me. Thoughts?

Oh and my boss was going over my schedule going on forward with me and he said after I’m done with my working interview, I will go to regular schedule! Which pretty much means as long as I don’t ā– ā– ā– ā–  it up , I’m hired!

Thanks man, all my bosses are really cool. The main one wasn’t in today but this other guy was tons of tattoos give me a fist bump when I came in. He’s pretty damn cool not gonna lie. I’m excited. Because this seems like a good job. I think if nothing else this girl and I can be good friends and she can help my Spanish. I thought I heard one of the other Spanish woman says it’s a Novio or boyfriend to her which makes me think she has a boyfriend. She had ā€œdenial eyesā€ when the woman said that to her I think. But I could’ve hallucinated the whole situation for all I know. She did say she lives with her brother though, so I know she’s not in a very serious relationship

Very exciting, @Jonnybegood!

Sounds like you have a very lovely co-worker.

Its also great to hear that your working interview went well and you’ll likely be getting the job!

Everyone has a dating in the work place story, including me.

It seems like it either works out great, or becomes a catastrophic shitstorm.

Not a lot of middle ground.

I’d take it very slow, don’t tell her your schizophrenic, don’t rush into asking her out or anything,

Just focus on having an appropriate and pleasant work relationship and see what happens.

It might turn sexy, it might not.

Regardless, you’re working and you have cool co-workers!

Way to go, homie!

I told her my sister was fluent in Spanish, en espagnol. She was very impressed by that. It says nothing about me, but then it also says a lot about me. It says nothing because it’s my sister not me. But it does say a lot about my family values and I think she has good family values too. Evident by her relationship with her brother. So that was a plus point for me

I also guessed her sign. I thought she was a Gemini like me which is why I said May or June you were born in. She said how do you know? I was born in May. But I got the sign wrong, she’s a Taurus not a Gemini . She didn’t seem creeped out by that at all. She quickly asked what I was. It’s OK, it’d be cool to have four people working the sink at once, I have a Lotta good friends are Taurus. Probably my favorite sign for friendship. Sorry I couldn’t resist ha ha

I can tell I really like her because I keep running the tape over and over in my head of everything we said to each other. That only happens when I really like someone. But like the who said, won’t be fooled again, so I doubt this lust I have for her can last too long. Only 2 or 3 girls in my life have I ever liked for more than a week and none since I was 19. Because, won’t be fooled again. Great song by the way. But it’s hard for me to be captured under a spell anymore after my heart was broken as bad as it was. Could never happen again and I swear by it. I tend to think that could be used to my advantage. If I’m a clingy love puppy girls will get sick of me quick. I learned my lesson with the last one. Well, it wasn’t just learning, it was I could never trust like that again unless the relationship was like " real "

I wouldn’t tell her you’re sz. That can be a very scary detail. Especially for someone who does not know you that well. I know you want to be you, but she could go in reaction and quit because of it. I’ve had things like that happen to me for being too open in the workplace. Just sharing my experience.

Thanks man sounds like a good plan… She seems pretty open minded but you’re right you never now completely.

Maybe I’m reading into it too much but when I came in she asked for a coffee, she looked at me and then asked for vanilla with extra sugar… Ha ha, I’ve heard the joke I like coffee like I like my women…black. I wanted to use that line when I was 19 before I knew anyone else used it. It was before I ever drink coffee too but I almost used it on this African-American waitress in Florida she would’ve cracked up. But I didn’t know coffee could be vanilla. But if I’m not reading into it too much, then she was attracted to me right off the bat which I like! Ha ha euphemisms can be hilarious but used to drive me crazy!!!

I think Euphemism is the wrong word but it’s sort of along those lines

Now That I look at myself in the mirror, I look damn good today despite the being tired to death. My eyes look bluer than usual. And sharper too. Maybe she was into me. OK I’ll stop boring you guys to death of my ranting I’m just excited sorry

It’s really great that you have a colleague you like! I had so great colleagues in the past and it changes everything. The job is a lot more fun, it makes also you better in your work and your colleague can end up becoming a really good friend! :slightly_smiling_face:
