I finally got up the courage to say something to my office crush that suggests "let's hang out" but was shot down like a B-24 over 1943 Germany.
Long story short, my work crush won a secret prize in a drawing at a work event last week (in which I pulled his name, oddly enough). I had joked to him then that he would have to share his prize with me. When I asked him what he won yesterday, he told me it was a Visa gift card. I've been looking for my "in" to hint to him that I would like to get together outside of work for weeks, so I carpe-d that diem and blurted out "Nice! Where are we having lunch?" as he began walking back to his desk.
He said over his shoulder "It's only for $25."
MY PLANE'S BEEN HIT MAYDAY MAYDAY
His reply was so unexpected, that all I could do was laugh. I mean, the worst outcome I was expecting was for him to just laugh off my suggestion. And let’s be real- two people can eat at Chipotle, and each get guac, for under $25. WTF mate?
When I texted my friend Katrina to tell her that I had been shot down, she told me to "pull that parachute cord." She is one witty B.
I landed on my feet, dusted myself off, and got over it like RHOD's Cinderella would:
