Russ and I have worked together for a few years. We've always been friendly but recently our relationship has gotten much more intimate.
Last fall, during the Presidential race, we discovered we had a lot in common. I'd go sit in his office to talk about the latest events while staring at him and thinking decidedly non-work related thoughts. During these conversations we learned more and more about each other. And the more we learned, the more we liked.
If I had to fall for someone, Russ is a great choice; tall and lean, smart and funny, with blond hair and blue eyes. He's very easy to look at. You can tell that he cares about his appearance but not so much that he seems vain. And with that nice body, he looks great in everything he wears. I'm not usually attracted to blondes but I made an exception in his case.
I knew he was married and that he loved his wife. I'm married too. And that was alright. We were just talking, as friends. I didn't start out looking for anything in particular, but things moved along after I asked about a ride in his car.
I'd heard Russ had a little sports car that he liked to drive fast. Figuring that it would be harmless fun, I told him I wanted to go for a ride in his car. He responded "Would it be ok if we went to lunch together some time?" Ummm...YES! After thinking un-pure thoughts about him for several months, getting away together for some private time sounded great to me!
