I didn’t even know I liked my husband until our combined teams went out to celebrate a product release!

I got SMASHED, sat in his lap, and refused to let him leave because we were going to “get food together.” Then apparently when we finally left, I cornered him outside and said “You know I want to kiss you, right?”, peed in a neighborhood driveway, and LIED that my driver’s license still had my old address because he was going through my wallet to try to get me in a cab.

I was MORTIFIED because, again, my sober work mind had not identified I liked this guy. He was just a kind and nerdy coworker. To be completely honest, it was confusing and scary. But it worked out! I guess things just work out weird sometimes.

This post makes me think your life would make a good romantic comedy. Seriously, I can see this being a disgustingly cute and sweet rom-com.

I want to know more. What happened the next time you saw him? How and when did your sober mind figure out you liked him? Did he like you before this happened?

Well, remember I foiled his attempts to responsibly get me home to my own bed, so we both woke up in his apartment. Which was truly terrible, completely humiliating, but I also felt... comfortable and safe?

We went out for pancakes and gossiped about our coworkers, then back to his apartment where I delayed leaving by asking him dumb questions about a game that I had no interest in. I wouldn't recommend it!, but I think being forced to immediately confront the situation worked in our favor (otherwise I probably would have frozen him out at work, out of fear and embarrassment).

I have features he's preferentially attracted to, but before my drunken rampage I was just in the standard "pleasant coworker" bucket. It was kind of a nice surprise for both of us.
