After reading this, I probably should not have put the note there, or at least stated how I knew which car was hers. My co-worker kept going on and on how I needed to do something, and the note was her idea.
The contents of the note were basically:
“At the risk of looking like a 3rd grade schoolboy, I am placing this note on your windshield. I tried to find you at lunch time, but didn’t see you. We chatted a bit over breakfast. I’d like to talk some more. If you would, too, call me at ________”
It might not have been ideal, but it shouldn’t make her think you’re a stalker (IMHO). I say well done for doing something to find out if she likes you.
Hmmm, my thoughts, as a guy, after reading the note are that she probably won’t be too creeped out, though it is a bit odd. But I wouldn’t count on a reply, unless she liked you too.
Glad it turns out that perhaps I’m not a creep. (I was really starting to think that I did the wrong thing) She hasn’t called, and I’ll just put this episode to rest.
thanks gang, and I’ll keep you posted on my further misadventures
I had a similar experience once when a guy in my building left a note in my mailbox. He introduced himself, said he had seen me around (we had said hellos to one another) and was interested in getting to know me better. I was surprised but not creeped out. At the very least, it was a compliment, and we did indeed become friends. I think had I never spoken a word to him nor seen him before, it would be creepy. But because we had met and talked briefly beforehand, I took it as a pleasant surprise.
If you’re never going to see her again (meaning she isn’t working where you do) then there’s no harm done. No awkwardness having to see her regularly knowing she didn’t respond. And if she does respond, well, yeay for you!
Rubes, I personally think that this was a good idea. What else could you have done really?
There is no worse a feeling that to realize that you could have done something, but for whatever reason did not.
Life is too short to not take a risk at happiness. If I hadn’t taken a big risk, I wouldn’t have met my wonderful wife six years ago.
The note was polite and didn’t sound creepy to me. If she calls, great. If not, take the next opportunity that comes your way. Carpe Diem! (sorry…don’t know how to make the accent marks)
