Only a few of you know the details of my crush, Darryl, but basically we've talked a few times.. just stupid small lil jokes and such when we're working. Those are all fine and peachy, but I want to have a semi-real convo, where I get to know him better. I want to do this though, without acting like Im not interested in him like that, even though I am -.-. I mean, I dont want him to think I DONT like him, but I also dont want to come across as really liking him, in case he doesnt-- itll save me some humiliation. I usually only see him in the aisles when Im walking around putting stuff back, so I dont want to be like.. sooo whens your birthday, how long youve been here, etc.. I dont want it to seem as desperate? All I got so far is "hey, whats up?" -.-

Talk about any random thing the next time you see him. Those kinda things really do strike up semi-real conversations! :D

Talk about the job. That's one thing you have in common, right?

Guys aren't that complicated. We don't mind when women approach us and start a conversation.

UGH I always do that. Make it seem like I hate the guy and don't give a **** about him when I'm really infatuated with him. :lol: And I don't even mean to do that. :lol:

We do, but we work in different departments which makes it kinda harder for me. If he worked right with me itd be a lot easier.

Whoa... scary... you JUST described me!!! I totally relate with you. Want to be nosy and desperately know the "facts" but not want to show the desperateness towards the guy. That's just like me!!

In fact, I couldn't give any tips because I have failed myself and have made myself appear quite nosy. :lol:

Any tips from the guys out there? ;)

"Hi!!! I'm shy, do you f*&k?" :wave:


always worked for me........


but I guess......that's a little bold eh?

What departments do you guys work at?

It might be possible for you guys to interact more...I work at concession and Anthony works floor, but we get to see each other a lot. ;)

I work in the front end AKA checkout, he does grocery. I volunteer to do returns a lot so I can walk around :D

What exactly does he do in grocery?

Well, hes usually in the aisles stocking shelves and such, which is why I do returns.. I put everything back! :D

:lol: Well, it's a start! :D

Ooooohhh...you know what? If you guys work at around the same time, you guys can ask take your lunch break together! :grineyes:

When you're doing returns, drop and break a bottle of ketchup or something else really messy. That'll get his attention.

CLEAN UP IN AISLE 3, AND CRYSTAL NEEDS HELP WITH HER SHYNESS WITH DARRYL TOO.

Kidding, is there a place that employess have lunch? It might be easier to start a conversation without the pressure of working.

I don't think where I shop would ever make a run and exchange if I got the wrong item. Do you do price checks too?

you're a klutz right? just "accidentally" knock him over and land on top of him - then say something cute like "nice running into you"

if yer lucky maybe you'll put him in traction and you can go visit him in the hospital :p

OMG!!!!!! So I did 10-5 today and got 2 breaks, cept I wasnt scheduled in, so they kinda forgot about me. I had barely seen him all day so I was getting all pissed:, and then at 4 I asked if I could take my 2nd break, and as soon as I shutdown I saw him walk outside. *F(D&F DSfsd*F(DSFSD. ANYWAYS, he wasnt at the benches, but I go over there anyways and pretend to look interested in my cell phone. Some guy sits on the other bench and theeeeeeen he comes over. Usually, he sits on the table part and faces the parking lot, but DUDE he came and sat across from me and then we started talking. I was actually 2 min. late from my break [which is no big deal], because we were talking. Wheeeeee. Now I am going out there every break I get :lol:

Oh, and I thought he has only been there for a couple weeks- and he was all "you thought I was new? *smiles*. LOlll. Evidently, he used to do overnites and hes been there for like, a year or so. Aaaaaaand hes got family and stuff in the same area where I used to live.

Drama and romance in a grocery store. This is exciting! Sounds like you're making some progress Crystal. Little by little, like sands through the hourglass, so are the....

Bring a lighter to work (Even if you don't smoke) and you could light his cigarette for him if he doesn't have his or can't find it. I do that when pretty girl asks for a cigarette and a light. :D

I know how you feel. Tonight I got a few moments with a woman I have a serious crush on. But between those moments there was alot of other things going on.
Such is life! When it rains it pours.

Keep trying!



;)

Well we're pretty much friends now :D

But it stops there -.-

We were talking today and I found a few things out.

Hes got a 15 month old daughter, with his 'girlfriend' of 6 years. I use 'girlfriend' loosely because the way he was talking, hes basically with her for the baby [which I actually admire] and that theyre not 'together' they just live together and share a bed. HDOUSYF&D(F ydafd.

Thanks :) Well, wouldnt it be akward knowing now that hes got a kid and stuff?

I hope it all works out - just do what you feel is right. Good luck! :D
Thanks! I was real upset earlier when I found this out, but evidently he still considers himself single. Not that I want to be some other woman or anything, but atleast theres still that 1% chance if he did in fact like me lol.

I really hope that it does work out for the best Crystal. He really does seem like a good guy. :D

Ive been seeing him everyday now on break and in between training and whatnot, and I pretty much feel comfortable around him. I never would have imagined this 2 weeks ago, I love it. :biglove:

HOWEVER

Its like, damn I notice him a few weeks ago and now all of a sudden hes a pimp. Theres this girl I work with, SaraLynn whos my age except shes prettier and a hell of lot thinner and blonde :snob:. She talks to him during work, during break, AFTER work. I am a very jealous person, so I of course immediatly get jealous and upset and disappointed, yet Ive also got this rage going through me too thats just mad. Me and her both got out at 7 today and she gets all her crap from upstairs and I see her on her cellphone, and Darryl is doing the ice machine up front. She stood by him on the phone a good 10 min. I went outside to change and get my wallet and Im walking around and hes out in the back room and shes out there bugging him again all "Ill see you tomorrow anyways...." I know hes got a daughter and is still living with the mother and stuff, but UGH. I was upset lastnight when I found that out but I got over it since theyre not fully "together" and now Im stuck seeing SaraLynn all over his ass all throughout the summer.

I never liked her to begin with - so this is def. not the only reason lol. Shes very snobby and acts like she knows it all, which quite frankly I probably know more than she does. She never made the attempt to get to know me, but I dont care for her anyways so no loss to me. Im going to do my best to get as close to him as possible before her and I wont give up til I have his number or we are friends or whatever.

It's about to be a....WHAT? GIRL FIGHT!

Take charge. Don't let her walk all over you. I bet you she's only doing this because she's seen you hanging around him, so she just wants to mess this up for you. So wear a ton of makeup tomorrow, put on a blouse that's really revealing (And try rubbing some glitter over your chest so that it sparkles in the sun and he has no choice BUT to look). And just be really happy, bubbly, flirty, etc. And if all else fails, show that bitch who's boss and knock her ass to the ground. And tell her there's more coming to her if she doesn't back her ass down and away from YOUR man.

:rofl: Oh Chris, I love you. Dude, you totally inspired me though to dress myself up pretty tomorrow. I was all pissy earlier so I was gonna go in looking pretty much like a bum -.-

:rofl::rofl:

:lol: Reminds me of the Friends episode when Rachel takes up smoking to hang out with her boss to get in good with her!! Don't do that!!

Just warning though Crystal - watch when he says that he's just there for the kid and that they're not really living as boyfriend and girlfriend. I don't want to burst your bubble, but I got suckered that way and did end up the other woman and getting my heart broken - very badly. And from what I've heard, it happens a lot - its a line some guys will give. :(

Thanks :). Well I never see this turning into a relationship EVER, but if it did Id def. be speaking to her too. I know there are girls out there who are stupid, and I wouldnt want to be one of them. As much as I like him, I want a meaningful relationship.. not to be some bed whore.

Maybe he's a flirty boy like ____________ is in my case. :p

Don't worry...I think you're a better person than that SaraLynn girl and probably a lot prettier too! I hope Darryl will be able to see that too. If not, then that b can eff himself. ;)

I always feel sorry for the wife/girlfriend in those cases. I don't care if she's the biggest bitch in the world, no one deserves that kind of pain. The man needs to be big enough to step up and admit that he's ready to move on and THEN get involved with another woman. That bull**** of "i'm just here for the children", well your not doing them any good. Growing up watching your parents act like they hardly know each other and never show any kind of love towards each other is one hell of a way to be brought up. Be a man/woman, and get some sort of joint custody. That will do the kid a hell of a lot more good.

Crystal, i'd say let the tail go with the hide


edit: i realize that women cheat too; so this goes for both sides
