dammit
Of personal historical note, there was a girl who applied at the record store to more easily hit on me and then we ended up dating for years. She was always jealous of coffee girl and sort of killed off that avenue of friendship. She always thought that coffee girl was interested in me, but since it never happened on a physical front then I dismissed the idea. Not that there wasn't cause for her thinking this.
Later, after the boob incident, I mustered up the courage to ask coffee girl out and she said "Oh. . . I have a boyfriend." Which normally is a lie to get rid of a dude, but she had told this to another coworker as well and others had seen the actual BF, but since she hadn't shrugged me off till then I was venturing forth to see if it was true or not. I said "Oh, thats okay." And went back to work(we were having lunch together when I asked). Later, coffee girl comes rushing back into the store and gives me her phone number. We talk on the phone and later, while her bf is out of town, we go out to see a movie together. I made no moves because she had a BF and I didn't think it cool to make a physical move, yet still I was going out to a movie with her and talking to her on the phone. After the date, my gay friend and her official gay friend tells me "Did you make out? You know she likes you." And I just shrugged it off and said I didn't try. I think the other guy workers wanted to take my balls off for that, as the mall was aching to 'hit that'.
I had somebody actually passing on that she was into me, I had her go out on a couple dates, and 'discussing' what was up with her, but mostly she strung me along. Looking back, I realized there was chance to make a move but never a relationship chance and it was my personal morals that got in the way. Plus, I was naive to all the signs.
I remember once one of the assistant managers was discussing how her breasts defied gravity, and I was like "hey, thats my friend you're talking about!" =/
