I thought we had a moment a few weeks back. The signs were subtle but they were there. That slow smile when you caught me staring. I smiled back but I had to look away. You sensed my nervousness and decided to boldly hold the back of my hand. Caught me off guard but not in a bad way. I wanted to ask you right then and there but the setting just wasn’t appropriate. So I ran away. But I came back because I was sure I read that spark right and I couldn’t let it slip away without at least trying. You’re so kind it really could’ve just been friendly on your end. It’s hard to tell in wlw dating world. But I really wouldn’t have minded even just being friends. Your boss and co workers being so close and the setting is just not something I’ve ever had to work around. I regret not being more discreet in how I approached you today and I regret not asking the day you handed me change (literally). I totally messed up from my nerves getting the best of me. The rejection wasn’t even your fault and you still apologized. I’m the one who should’ve apologized. I shouldn’t have put you in that position while you’re at work. I’m pretty sure it was the only shot I had though. I’ll probably never see you again. I just wish I would’ve went about it differently. Now it’s just a moment I’ll have to forget. I have to admit I’m pretty bummed about it. And embarrassed, definitely embarrassed. I guess a glimpse of connection is just that sometimes. Tough lesson learned today.
