Recent Going-Ons

Abel called me yet again the other day. And AGAIN he asked if I had "thought about it." I reiterated (sp?) that I was not looking for anyone, that I just did not want a relationship at this time. He still won't accept that and insisted, "I'll wait." So I asked Abel, "What if I end up with someone else?"
"I'll still wait."
He just doesn't get it. I also told him that he should find someone else. "I have." He said.
"Who is it?" I asked.
"You."
Argh!

I have developed a crush on a guy at work. It's not a big crush though, and nothing I'm taking too seriously as I've learned from my past few and recent experiences : do not take things too seriously. It's weird that I even like him. This guy works on the sales floor and I think it was pretty recently that he started cause I never really saw him around and he doesn't work all that often. I never really noticed him before; we had never talked as we don't really work around one another and I just viewed him as another Target worker. (Target Team Member! :) ) One night he came through my line; he was buying a microwave dinner for his break. I was just going to get him through and not really bring up conversation but then suddenly he did. Granted, it was work stuff, but still; he took that chance to talk. "You closing tonight?" He asked?
"Yep, fun stuff." I said in a horribly sarcastic tone. He went on to talk about how far the sales floor had got with their zoning and saying that it shouldn't be too bad that night. I then said to him, "Cool, well at least we get to participate in it together." I was being sarcastically sweet...if you can comprehend that. :) Later that night when I saw him while we were closing, we both looked at one another, our faces erupted in non-fake smiles and we said hi to each other. There was a crush.
The other night I biked to Target and I'm wearing but only short shorts and a tank top. I'm walking around where the cosmetics, dish soap and greeting cards are and I spot him as I walk by an aisle. I just walked right past and it would have been very obvious if I were to have just stopped and said hi. Secretly I'd hoped that somehow we'd be in the same aisle or something and then I could say hi. I was about to proceed to the check outs but knew I'd be disapointed with myself if I did only that. So, I headed back around the store, looking like I was looking for something and then came back around the aisle where I had spotted him. Well, no use not being obvious. He was in the middle of the aisle and I stopped and turned back and then came towards him. Yeah, "not" obvious. I just said, "Hey, how's it going?"
He seemed happy to see me. We started talking and I made sure to mention that I had biked to Target. The other night I saw him biking home so I felt this might spark his interest. We talked a little about music, about work, and other miscelaneous things. At one point I was looking away and when I looked back, I could see him looking me up and down, just checking me out. That was enjoyable. :)
So yeah, that's my crush, his name is Clay. I have no idea how old he is. I'm guessing around 24 but I could be wrong. He's super tall, has to be around 6'2. It's strange how we just started talking. I mean, we never talked or anything before and then BOOM!, we're talking.

Life is weird.
