Hi!!! Just wanted to stop by and say thank you so much for giving "Insatiable" a shot. I really appreciate it. Hope you were able to enjoy it. 

Conclusion...
          
          If you've read this far, I truly appreciate it because this is what I need a second opinion on; whether or not I should tell him that I know why we seemed so familiar to each other as it's something that he's brought up a few times--about how familiar I am. 
          If I do that, do I tell him I figured it out that first night at the bar or just keep that to myself? 
          Also, do I tell him about my crush on him just to get everything out in the open or do I keep that to myself as well?
          I've been mulling over this for a while now, I mean why bother bringing it up if he's involved and nothing can be acted on. Assuming, of course that there's anything to act on... maybe the flirty exchanges have all been in my head and I've been feeling guilty for no reason. Man, I really need to find a shrink...

          Anyway, our job is very physically demanding so, sometimes I'll have a quick snack for lunch so I can spend most of it getting in a power nap like a few others so. I did just that a few days ago and I wake up to hear a few of the guys are back from lunch (because most of these dummies drag their feet when they walk) and they're trying (and failing) to speak quietly, the main one being Daddy Cake Boss (because of all that ass). He's explaining how she's been strange lately, trying to pick fights with him that end up in screaming matches knowing that he's already stressed out about passing his final exams so he can move up a paygrade and how he doesn't know how to deal anymore or what he wants to do. I felt so grateful that I woke up at the perfect time to get that tea but also bad for him because he sounded to conflicted and burnt out. And then I felt a little guilty for listening in on a private conversation because more people came back from lunch and they quickly changed the topic.
          
          Cont4: Conclusion

          Until recently, we weren't working in the same crew/building so it was easy to not always think about him, just stay busy with work and focus on other things. Now that we're working together, it's damn near impossible. His energy is just magnetic. He's easy to talk to as well and kinda goofy and the eye contact..Phew, the eye contact. I usually have trouble keeping eye contact with guys I find attractive. I get stuck in my head and feel embarrassed af but it feels natural with him. His eyes are always bright, alert and focused. When we talk, I know I have his undivided attention. I have to constantly remind myself that he's taken, to respect that and to keep my distance. I figure that he's happily so because I've seen his home screen on his phone. It's him and some pretty girl, at least I'm assuming she's pretty because 1) guys like this never have an ugly gf and 2) my eyes are bad and I only saw the screen for maybe 2 seconds like a foot and a half when he took it from his pocket to check a notification a week ago.

          Immediately after he shook my hand longer than the other guys had, the hoe on my right shoulder said, "Suck his dick, Sis. The eye contact and that firm grip on your hand... you KNOW it's big." The hoes more practical twin on my left shook her head with an eye roll and said, "Girl, if you don't go outside and touch some grass... we ended hoe-phase 2 years ago. You need to chill." But then he stood up to get another pitcher of beer, and y'all... that ass. Just, guh-dayum. Miss Practical looked over at Miss Hoe, right hand cupping the side of her mouth and said, "Nevermind, give him that Gluck-Gluck8000. The sloppiest of toppy." I shake my head subtlety to shut them both up while trying to figure out where tf I know him from because it's not like I go out much if at all being the homebody that I am. Then it hits me--- we matched on Bumbl like over a year ago and exchanged messages. 
          
          So many thoughts run through my head at that realization and before I can organize them hes back with the beer and joining in on the conversation going on at our table. I zoned out for a second trying to compartmentalize my thoughts but then zone back in when I hear him mention a girlfriend. Miss Practical comes back with another eyeroll--"Of course he's with someone. Guys like that always have a girlfriend." Any thoughts of telling him that I realize how we know each other are thrown out of the window and run over by oncoming traffic.

Hey, Y'all!
          
          I need some guidance/input/advice on a situation--- there will be multiple parts as apparently I ended up writing a dissertation instead of a quick message.
          
          So, I changed professions this year and now I work with a union in Electrical and damn, I was not even thinking about how I'd technically be on construction sites all the time surrounded by some sexy ass men 50-60 a week. Anyway, nearly every Friday, the guys I work with go out after work for drinks and they made sure to include me on my first week of being on the job. 
          
          When I get there, I'm introduced to even more guys that work within the same company but whom don't see as often because they work in a separate building. One of the guys that introduces himself looks really familiar but I couldn't immediately place where I recognized him from. Y'all, he is just so beautiful-- kind, warm hazel eyes that look more green outside in the sunlight, with long, thick, inky lashes and perfectly arched, fully brows. His peaches and cream complexion is complimented perfectly with his dark, wavy hair and thick, full beard that's always neatly groomed. His cheekbones are high, but when he smiles, the apples of his cheeks round out and look chubby, making him look boyish or baby faced. His bottom lip is beautifully plump while the upper is slightly thinner with a rounded cupids bow and that smile... goodness. Two parallel rows of shiny, well cared for teeth.
