On occasion, for work I had to travel to different satellite offices for various kinds of meetings. I remember going to one of the satelite offices and went to visit a friend's office on the second floor. As I walked over, I caught a glimpse of someone across the way. I notced that he was handsome, but I did not recognize him, so I assumed he must have been new. Once I made it to my friends office, I immediately asked her who the handsome guy was that I saw and where did he work? She told me that he actually worked for our same division and that he reported to her. She told me he was really good at his job and that he was really nice. From that point forward, I seemed to run into him in more and more meetings. We would exchange some small conversation on occasion and would notice each other from across the room. As time went on it seemed like I felt more and more comfortable talking to him. We began to also communicate via email. When I went away to a conference it seemed we began to email more frequently and have longer conversations. I kept hoping he would ask me for my phone number, but at the same time I felt as though he may not because I held a high position at work. At that point I decided I needed and wanted to give him my phone number. Sooooo......when a large reallocation of staff occured in our division I decided to use ths as an excuse to reach out to him to see how he was doing. I emailed him my phone number and told him that if he wanted to chat about the "work changes" or anything that he should feel free to contact me off work hours and we could talk as friends. A few hours later, I was pleasantly surprised as he did call me right when he got off work, Unfortunately, I did not answer because I got off of work later. He left a really funny voicemail that made me smile . His voicemail for the most part was along the lines of "Hello this is Chris Munoz, please call me back when you get a chance". This made me laugh as I thought it was funny that he was so professional. I was a bit nervous as I still was not quite sure if he was interested. I called him back and we spoke for hours over the phone and found we had alot in common. To make a long story short, we spoke for a couple weeks for hours at a time on the phone and then he FINALLY asked me out on a date!!! The rest is as you can say is history! We have only looked forward and never looked back since :) |
