There’s no use is me trying to pretend otherwise. I could sit here and tell you that I should have said no and declined the offer. To this day, I still get worked up over his smile. Later, I would find out that he had been watching from his office window. That’s because Nick pulled up and offered to give me a lift home. It didn’t take long for that answer to arrive. To make a long story short, there was a problem my car’s ignition system something that required a tow to the automotive shop.Īfter calling AAA and watching them haul away my vehicle, I was left trying to figure out how I would get home. In the fall of last year, I found myself stranded in the company parking lot. Some folks call this gaydar (at least I do). But if you are gay, you just know when someone’s interested. He wasn’t obvious about it and never said anything outright.
Since being hired last year, I could tell Nick “liked” me. While not my direct manager, he oversees departmental operations, which basically means he’s the boss. His name is Nick* and he manages our work area. Personally, I identify as gay and he … well, he doesn’t know WTF he is (but to the outside world, he’s straight). Without giving TMI, I’ll tell you that both of us work for a large industrial company in the Midwest.
