There's this girl I've worked with for almost a year now. In fact, we were both hired on the exact same day, went through the company tour, and were in training for the same period of time. It's a relatively small company that doesn't hire a lot of people, and there's only 4 of us total (the other two had been with the company for a couple of years before we joined). Our training was pretty much a matter of the company giving us a basic run-down of what we're supposed to do and how we do it, and then several months of us working on our own to learn how to do it and practicing it. We had to rely on each other for problem solving when one of us couldn't figure something out.
So needless to say, we kind of clicked from the start.
I'm not going to lie, when I first met her, I definitely thought she was a hottie, and if we met randomly at a bar, I'd probably try and make a pass at her. But over the months of acquaintance, I've developed certain feelings for her.
No, no, don't worry, it's not what you think. This isn't one of those threads.
We had a little get together one night a couple weeks ago, she got a little drunk, and she started coming on to me. She started kissing me, and I went with it, but soon, she tried to escalate things.
I simply couldn't get into. I've grown too attached to her to think of her in a sexual manner. So I put a stopper on the whole situation.
Needless to say, she got a bit too drunk to drive home, so she stayed at my place, and we ended up passing out on my bed watching Netflix.
I know. Suuuuuuuuuuuuch an anticlimactic story. But oh well. It happens.
The next day, after she left, I spent a decent bit of time thinking about what went down, and why I couldn't pursue anything sexual with her that night, and it dawned on me.
Some how, I feel like she's become more of a little sister in my life.
We're both in our early-to-mid twenties, but she is a few years younger than me. She's a bit naive and gets reckless from time to time, and she has a habit of doing stupid things and getting herself stuck in stupid situations that really get on me nerves sometimes, but if someone ever hurt her in anyway, I'd really have to fight the urge to punch whoever did it in the throat.
Not looking for any kind of advice for the scenario. I don't believe any advice is needed. I'm just curious if any of you have ever felt the same way about someone in your lives?
