Should I Back Off? Am I Coming On Too Strong, Too Fast?

Tweet

Just a warning, this is a lengthy post. I have liked a driver that comes in to work for awhile now. Actually, the first time I ever saw him about 2 years ago, I thought he was hot, but far out of my league. I tend to have no self-confidence and I have struggled with it a lot the past couple years. I have a couple friends who are always telling me that I should just go for it and if I get turned down, then I just get turned down, not to let it get to me. So, on Christmas Eve I started flirting with the driver. His friend(my co-worker) gave me his phone number that day and told me that I should text him sometime. I didn't have the nerve. Then I found out that both mine and the driver's phone had quit on the same day, Christmas Day. So, I told his friend that it was a sign that I wasn't supposed to text him and his friend said, "No, it is a sign that you were meant for each other". I just laughed it off. On Monday, I finally got up the nerve to text him. It was before he came into work and I just texted him simply, "Craig(his friend) wanted me to text you and tell you how hot you are". Okay, he didn't text me back. I was really sweating it BAD! Then he came in to pick up his packages for the day and I went to him and asked, "So, did you get my message?" He said, "Yes, my question is who thinks I'm hot? You or Craig?" I said, "Well, who would you rather think you are hot?" He said, "You because Craig kind of scares me sometimes." I tried to flirt a little with him, but he didn't really seem to respond to it. I just thought to myself, "Well, he's not interested at all". So, on Tuesday I had planned to just chill out when he came in and try to hold back. Well, he came in and was talking to Craig and I just kind of looked over at him and said, "So, Craig was just telling me how hot he thought you was". He said, "See, I told you that he scared me". Craig said, "Watch it, because she will spank you for talking about me like that". Well, the driver walked over to me and bent over and let me spank him. Okay, so is that a sign that maybe he is a little interested? I don't know. On Wednesday the driver came in. My co-worker didn't have any packages for him so when he came in I said, "Well, he doesn't have anything for you today, but you know I have something for you". He said, "Well, Alright" and he walked over to me and gave me a hug. On Thursday Craig(his friend) came over to me and told me that it was the driver's birthday on Monday and that he had totally forgot about it. So, here I am, my mind working yet again. So, I text the driver again and say, "So, Craig told me that he forgot your birthday on Monday so I was wondering if there was anything I could do to make it up to you". Again, no text back. I told Craig about texting the driver and he kept asking me if he had texted back. Once when he asked I was standing by a friend of mine and she looked at him and said, "So, why don't you help her out and hook it up for her". He said, "It wouldn't be that hard, really." I just shook my head no and he said, "What? He would go out with you. He's the type of guy who if he knows a girl for awhile and he knows you that he'll go out with you". He came in to work later that day and went over to my co-worker and started talking to him. Now I was standing at the station behind them and he wasn't looking at me. Then he looked at me and I said, "So? What can I do to make it up to you?" He walked around to me and put his arm around me and said, "I'll have to think about that one". I said, "Well, just let me know when you figure it out". Then he stuck around and talked to me and told me that his birthday was actually the day before and not on Monday like his friend had thought. He just stood there and I felt kind of like it was awkward so I just tried to talk to him a little more. I was so nervous, I don't know if he was or not. So, then his friend came up and he went over to him and started talking to him. So, now it's Friday. He comes in and he starts talking to everyone and I just keep on working. He gets his packages and takes them to his truck. He was down in his truck and the guy I work with was standing at the dock door. The guy I work with asked, "So, are you coming back in?" He said, "No, I guess I will move on down the road". So, I couldn't take it. I said, "So what about my hug for today?" He then came back in and gave me a hug and then he left. So, what do you think? Am I coming on too strong? Should I back off and just let it go? Should I ask him out or should I just wait and see how he acts and if he wants to ask me out?
