Went on a night out this evening...

..and it wasn't one of my better nights!

To start with, a member of my department is leaving the UK and to say goodbye he booked a function room at a local bar. A lot of my team turned up but about half of them came from other parts of the company. I generally stuck with the people I knew....

One guy - who started going out with a girl I have a crush on - asked if I wanted a drink - I said "No thanks" because I wanted to leave reasonably early to meet some 'friends'. He joked: "So you actually have friends then?!" ....I felt like sh*t but disguised it by smiling as if I didn't care. He could have just been joking because he sometimes makes similar comments when he goes out drinking. It doesn't stop me feeling bad about it though...

This guy that she's seeing is nice enough but he smokes and drinks heavily - why are women attracted to that?!

To make matters worse. Whenever I'm in the office I keep seeing this girl looking at me - not all the time, just when I get up for a coffee, to the mensroom etc.. She sometimes stops at my desk to say hello.

It does my head in a bit. She invited me to her birthday party in a week's time. It's on a saturday so there will be lots of none-work people there as well. I know one of her close friends will be there who I met a couple of times. She is stunning but I can tell by body language that I'm in with a chance but only if I had a personality bypass!!

However, my plan is to try to get close to this girl as a means of making the other one jealous. Sounds silly I know but it would make me feel better!
 
yea, things that people say can be hurtful but just take it as that...it was a joke and since you did say he was drinking..i'm sure he wasn't aware of what he was saying. Anyways goodluck with the girl, the party sounds like fun..just be comfortable and open..i'm sure at least a couple of people will take notice. :wink:
