There was a girl I used to work with that I though I saw recently out a bar. We used to flirt at work, went out to lunch a few times, but no socializing out of work. We were both interns, but I didn't want to escalate because of work and we literally sat two feet away from each other every day. I thought it could get awkward if I started to really pursue her, and things went south.
She went back to school after winter break, and I haven't talked to her since mid January. Last week, I thought I saw her when I was out at a bar, it turned out it wasn't her. But I sent her an email the next day, because I didn't have her number.
element0: Hey, thought I saw you out this weekend, did you turn 21 yet?
HB: no
haha May 3! so exactly 1 month from today.
element0: That's right, just when school let's out. Have fun at (place I used to work), tell ***** I said whatup.
HB: haha okay will do. thats if i get a job there. i still havent emailed them about this summer yet.
element0: You'll work there. I saw ***** yesterday literally sprinting down Carson. What's your number? We gotta hit up Carson street sometime.
HB: ha too funny! he was texting me about how the lady we always saw in the hall was getting fired! yeah sounds good ***-***-****
So I waited a few days and texted her last night.
element0: Hey HB, it's element0, stalk T Swift lately?!
HB: Hey! Nah, thats more of a summer hobby when I don't have anything better to do haha how are you?
element0: Same old, just no more (place I used to work)...it feels great!
HB: Yeah, I'm dreading going back ive been putting off emailing them cuz I don't want to accept my fate. Did you get a new job then?
element0: I feel for you, that lab is hell on Earth! I got a job downtown doing cost analysis...they are actually putting me in charge of the interns this summer...gonna work them to death! How's Meadville treating you?
HB: Haha nice. Eh same as always. I'm writing a paper tho so I gtg focus, Ttyl.
element0: Fun...later
Not sure if I played this right, but the interaction seemed to flow between us, so I left the conversation feeling like I can further the interaction when she gets done with school. I haven't had a lot of practice with this stuff, so any comments are appreciated.
