thank you all for the advice.

things seem to be progressing with the work crush. we boozed it up with coworkers last night, eventually trailing off to another bar, just the two of us. nothing happened, though. i was thinking on the cab ride home "oh, she's totally over me." why? because i was definitely being friendly and giving social and physical cues.

i came home and checked my email. in the inbox, a message from her. "you are sooooooooo adorable. just sayin'"

things could get slightly uncomfortable today, but i suppose i am prepared for it, as much as i actually can. i did write back, as i'm sure you were wondering. i told her the feeling was definitely mutual.

update later, i'm sure.
