It all started with Star Trek. We had chatted about it a few times, and my Trekkie necklace caught his attention. Then one day, he asked if I ever dress up like Uhura. And he was so shy asking it. Adorable. So I grinned and replied, "Oh honey, no...I wear blue!" And proceeded to show him the photo of me in the Captain's chair.
I happened to be looking at his face when I showed it to him. His eye bugged out and he looked very interested. Suddenly, it went from a friendly chatting with a customer to a *ding* "oh, he's interested in me?" moment. We continued to flirt, but became even more obvious about it to each other.
Then one day, I was walking towards the bank for some change and he was heading to the store. He asked me about the Bachelorette party I'd mentioned once. It was going to be a group of ladies dressed up in Star Trek uniforms going to the Children's Museum for the day. He said he couldn't wait for those pictures. As I continued on my expedition, I had the thought that instead of just showing him pictures on my phone, I could send them to him...if I had his number.
I waited until it was closer to the week of the Bachelorette party, just in case he asked for my number or a date before then. Then he came in, with his buddy. Said buddy politely vanished as I walked up. I told him that I could send him photos of the day, if he wanted my number. He'd forgotten his phone. So I whipped mine out and got his. I then texted him the above picture so he had mine. And so it began...
He very much enjoyed the pictures from that day. And we continued to flirt. I once "complained" that the wrong fireman had been in my store. He showed up within fifteen minutes. I also told him that I had a severe lack of cute fireman in my store, so he came by to "remedy" it. He's a geek and he's very into Batman. He also once referenced a Sleestak and I swooned in geeky delight. LOL
This all began months and months ago. Everyone is getting impatient because there's been no date. I am...not exactly impatient...just eager and wanting to get on with things. As his coworker said the other day, "They've got the hots for each other, but nothing's getting done about it!" Well, I'm trying!! I've invited him to multiple things, and once we were going to get together, but he was very sick.
At this point, I have bluntly asked him to get together...today actually, because the same coworker told me he was not working. However, I sent two texts on Friday, then a photo of me lookin' hot last night for Punk Rock Prom...and never got a reply from any of them. I'm thinking that either he didn't want to say no and so said nothing...or his phone is acting up, or something along those lines. Hmm...
