Cutie in the building

What do you do when you spot a cute guy in your office building?

I've seen this guy off and on for years, but months go by between sightings. The last time, which was probably last fall, we locked eyes on the street, but no words were exchanged. Like a school-girl though, I felt my pulse quicken and my eyes smile after the moment passed.

Since then, I've been convinced he got a new job. Not so much as a glimpse in months! Then today, he was walking back in with a co-worker, coming from what appeared to be an afternoon coffee run. We shared an elevator (he works on a floor above mine), and his co-worker was on a tear complaining about another co-worker. Cute Guy appeared slightly embarrassed to be associated with the rant. When my floor came, he held the door for me, and said, "sorry you had to listen to all the complaining."

I almost audibly gasped. He was making an attempt to engage me in conversation! I quickly replied, "that's ok, we all go through it!" He thanked me with a smile as the doors closed. Of course I wished I had said, "that's ok, here's my number!" instead.

Regardless, my pulse has been quick ever since. (can you tell how sadly starved I am for male interaction?!)

It will likely be months before our next encounter. I have no idea where he works, what he does, let alone his name, relationship status or even gender preference! Oh well. Nice to know there are cuties in my midst. It's been awhile since I had noticed.
