I was really energized today. It was busy in garden but I was on top of it, zooming through customers, navigating the wild waters of questions and requests. At one point a customer who was paying attention to how I was working said "You're good!" and I really felt how on I truly was at that moment.
When I hopped off the register to go home, it was with an excess of energy. I walked into the store proper and saw a customer approaching from the opposite direction, seeming to have a spring in his step which so happened to be to the music. As he got closer I spontaneously asked him if he was dancing to the music. He said that he wasn't, just naturally had a bouncy walk and then I helped him find a shovel.
He asked what I was reading, I had the Dragon Age book I have slowly been reading under my arm. I have had a few people ask me the same question and I have been responding with a grimace and sheepish explanation that it is a prequel to a video game. But this guy just wanted to know what game. When I said Dragon Age he blew my mind by saying "I actually work for EA."
"Oh my god, can I hang out with you forever?!"
He gave me a significant yet quick once over and said something to the effect of yes.
We chatted as I walked towards the break room. It was easy conversation about computer preferences (he works with Unix systems and abhors Apple products like I do) and music (he doesn't like rap or country but is eclectic otherwise...just like how I describe my tastes). It was odd how easy it was. Enough so that when he offered to meet up for coffee on one of my days off I hesitated knowing that he may be thinking more is going on or has potential to go on than there actually is, but I said sure. So now I have his contact info (he offered to give me his info instead of mine to him because he understood it could be intimiating for a girl to give out such information) and said that if I didn't contact him he would figure I don't want to meet up. Easy enough.
I don't seem any harm in hanging out with him, but I will have to make it clear that he wont get anywhere with me, and if he is hoping that to be the case we should stop before we start.
