This Tall Male Canadian Fella
I was told yesterday that i have an aptitude for fun and for that reason and others, i was also told that my latest crush on this tall male Canadian fella would not work out.
I have a crush on this tall male Canadian fella who was ironically, the very person i told myself i would never have a crush on almost half a year ago. Half a year ago, he and a group of three other people visited my then-office for a "tour" and i brought them around and i remembered telling myself how geeky he looked and so not the kind of guy i would have a crush on. And yes, i would now tell myself never to count the chickens before they hatch.
He also happened to be one of the interviewers for my current new job. I arrived that day at the reception area and saw him standing beside me, exchanging for a temporary pass to get through the security. A hunch told me to run ahead of him because that hunch told me that he could be my interviewer. And so i strode hastily to the lift and tried to press the lift doors close when he slid in smoothly.
He would not recognise me, i thought to myself and seconds later ... a "Hello D" wormed its way into my ears. "Are you my interviewer?" i asked and he gave me a sideway glance and uh huh-ed me. And i remembered thinking that sideway glance was adorable but my raging nerves overwhelmed me.
I saw him in Canada during my trip and this time, i remembered how adorable he was. He has very endearing mannerisms and i conversed with him much more during this period of time that gradually i built up more solid affection for him.
Me: "So you know how i felt for you?"
Him: "Yeah, i'm not totally inept you know. Only about 98%. But you also have to know that i am extremely shy."
And so i was talking to this other colleague, FE, who knew more about him yesterday about him and FE said it would not work out because he is so painfully shy, he basically shuts everyone out and is blissfully unaware of his feelings.
FE: He would never say he likes a girl.
Me: So you mean if ever one day i can make him say he likes me, i should go out with him?
FE: Yeah! Wait... on the other hand no, he would probably still mindfuck you. He wouldn't know how to handle a relationship because he has never been in one and i bet he has never even kissed a girl before.
(Why does that somehow sound even more appealing? Hmmm...)
FE: And both of you are so different. Ya-dah Ya-dah Ya-dah.....
And in my mind, what kept floating into my consciousness was my last day in Canada when he came to find me to say goodbye and we hugged (okay .. i hugged him and he hugged me back) and when i told him i would miss him, he said "I would miss you too" back.
What to make of it?

this is a huge challenge for our twit.
yeah, a step at a time! i like this guy already.. :)
Mindfucks are crazy mannnnn
woohoo~~ so sweet! such guys are just so tempting.
good luck~!
Twitty, go for it ba. It's worth a try.
I've always thought about having an ang moh girlfriend, but for someone as unattractive as me it's almost impossible. Whahaha. But I hate those high-and-mighty kind. I prefer the humble, well mannered kinda blonde chicks.
Which is why I think that Canadian guy u spoke of is worth you getting together with! It's not often you get caucasian guys who are shy and well mannered.
hah i say go for it too! he's probably the last available shy male alive!!! sounds lk a potentially v sweet r/s (:
Screw the Mental! Just fuck him...
hm.. BIG time crush. mind-fucking crush. ;P yes.. go for it!!
I'm pretty shy so I can understand that guy a little. You just need to put in the extra effort until he's comfortable with you :)
Bah! What a nerd. He's lucky.
This story sounds like mine. And I got with him. For 6 years and now we've broken up.
I think it's the whole opposites attract thing. And the challenge.. we popped the cherry...uhhhh...or something like it.
Haha..irony is, he was from Canada too
