It drove me nuts. I&#8217;m not sure why, it just really got under my skin.<\/p>\n<p>Well, as it turns out, it was only my sweet bruised little ego burning with envy. My jealousy wasn&#8217;t directed at the attributes of my hot female co-worker. Rather, it was just a general &#8220;pay attention to me, too!&#8221; sort of thing. I certainly can&#8217;t measure up to a tall, blond, slender Russian, but I&#8217;m tragically cool and flirting with me is nothing if not fun.<\/p>\n<p>Lately, though, we&#8217;ve had quite a few exchanges, not exactly award-winning flirtations, but he stops by my desk frequently and starts up strange conversations. I can only assume it&#8217;s his version of flirting. Whatever it is, it&#8217;s enjoyable and I feel much better about myself as a result.<\/p>\n<p>The lesson? Lose a few pounds, get a spectacular haircut, and you, too, can flirt with the dorky new guy at your work!<\/p>\n<p>Well, he isn&#8217;t new anymore. And I don&#8217;t think my hair or my weight has anything to do with it. And you know, he isn&#8217;t nearly as dorky or annoying as I first believed. He&#8217;s actually a pretty funny guy, interesting, smart, peculiar. I just had to give him the chance, which I never did until our team-building office outing several months ago. All I&#8217;m saying is we&#8217;re friends now and it&#8217;s nice.<\/p>\n<p>Crazy the things that happen when you get drunk in Provincetown in the middle of the day with your office mates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do any of you remember my little rant about the awkward flirting between two of my co-workers?
