there's this guy I work with who I like. He's dead sweet and raps poetry when he's drunk and is shy. He's hinted he's not confident (I rap poetry because when I'm drunk I can't think of anything to say and look silly) which I find cute. In short I like him and have since I started work.
We all went to the pub after work and were drinking then I left to go home. This tramp stopped me and asked if I was pregnant and I was dead offended (I'm not). I text him like do you think I look pregnant? and he replied you look fit no offence and I said none taken you're not too bad yourself. Then the next morning he was like man I'm so silly when I'm drunk and I said we all say dumbass stuff when we're drunk then thought this sounded like I didn't fancy him.
In a moment of panic I asked him on a date. This was saturday. When he didn't reply by Monday I text him saying forget it I was stupid. He didn't reply until last night when he said he'd had no credit and had been busy, he'd be into the cinema but to be honest (which makes me suspect he's not being honest) he's too skint and had he made me feel awkward because my last text had been off. So I said thats cool I'm away in Bournemouth anyway and skint and that I was just being mega stupid. He asked why I said mega stupid and what I was doing in Bournemouth and I told him I was visiting the uni and that I was shy and it made me be silly. He hasn't replied and that was at like 8 this morning.
Does he like me? I feel so bad about the whole thing. I'm really scared of what to say, of being rejected or of being a **** and having to work with him. I used to be mega confident about this stuff and play the game well but I met my ex (who I was on off with until recently) who constantly put me down and I also put on a stone (which translates to a dress size). Now I feel fat and repulsive and like he won't want me. I feel so worthless and stupid as well and I think maybe I'm bringing these emotions into how I'm handling this situation. I desperately want him to like me.
He also has been on off with his ex til recently and everyone in our office is always like it's your life but I wouldn't go there. He had a one night stand at the weekend.
What am I doing wrong? How can I get him? Am I being stupid and clinging because of my self esteem? HELP!!!
