I’ve been making eyes at a customer at work for a while. It seemed like the attraction was mutual.
They put in a special order and I took down their number so I could tell them when it came in, but they happened to come in the day their order came in before I was able to text them.
When I asked about holiday plans they responded a few times with “we” so I assumed they were partnered and left it alone.
Today they said “you should text me sometime” and I immediately replied with “I didn’t keep your number.”
Them: you didn’t keep my number?
Me, hurriedly writing my number down for them: you gave it to me for the special order so I didn’t want to just start texting “hey, what’s up?”
Them, taking the paper: ok. I’ll text you when I get home.
It’s been hours. No text.
TL;DR: I told my crush I threw their number away when they suggested I should text them.
