Oooops

I hate to say this but I have fallen for one of the women in one of my meetings. She is very friendly with me but I think she is friendly with everybody. I think my narcissism is a bit out of control. I thought when I got back from Christmas that she seemed be going out of her way to talk with me. She would ask me if I was going to be at next week’s meeting and would tell me that she wouldn’t have her son so she could pay more attention when talking to me.
Me; I put all this stuff together and think, “Oh she must be interested in me!” This, by the way is the first time in my life that I ever thought a women might be interested in me without my solicitation. This did not even happen with my ex-wife. I made a point to go down to the production floor to talk with her. (We met at work.) And, for the longest time it seemed that she would go to lunch with me because, well, hell it seemed better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.

I have never before her, (her name is Carrie) or since thought that a woman was interested in me. I have only solicited three times with Mary, with my ex, and with you. What I mean by solicit is asking, “You wanna go to lunch?” or calling on the telephone.

So the first time I have this thought and act on it, I find out that I am wrong. I think I will go back into my shell.
