Two weeks ago while on Instagram, I decided to look at my suggested friends and this I never do. A man who partnered with my company and I took a liking to, profile was listed. (Some of you may have seen my Attracted series updates here from months ago) I was shocked. I battled myself for a while about requesting him. Here's why: While he worked in the same building, our work did not cross paths. He seemed to take an interest in me and after some time I approached him and introduced myself and gave him my number. Never saying, I wanted to date or anything serious. He kept the number for some time and eventually told me he wasn't interested and wasn't looking for a relationship. Respecting this, I stopped initiating things with him. More time passes and he starts showing interest. Popping up at my desk asking about my day, engaging in a few minutes of conversation before having to leave, smiling at me, and always walking by. This became rather old quickly so I started ignoring him completely. Many people noticed our chemistry and apparently started approaching him about it and I guess it turned him off, so he stopped walking by and wouldn't even look my way. Became very cold!

Since seeing his profile, I have this desire to reach out to him. I'm not sure why! Is it the chase? Am I just too hopeful that a fine man like himself will now take interest? I find myself typing him a message and then I get lost for words. When around he made me feel seen and heard but he was extremely hot and cold. Without making excuses, I know that probably meant he just wasn't in to me. So why do I have this desire to reach out to him and should I act on it? An even better question, he and I have NO mutual friends, so how it is he was suggested as a friend?!

Thanks for any advice 🥰

**Thanks ladies! Coming across as stalker like, DEFINITELY crossed my mind. No love lost. Lisa, he did ask me out but a day or two later said he wasn't interest. Not to excuse everything else but he did ask. Oh well. I don't want to be that woman, who like y'all said "can't take no for an answer because that's definitely not who I am. Thanks again y'all**
