LOVE BY THE CORPORATE WATER COOLER.
You did the right thing by going on the offensive, win, lose or draw. You put yourself on the line for a legitimate chance at true love, but missed the mark for whatever reason he wanted to give. Nice try! Women out there in the singles game need to make the effort. Pretty gutsy. At least his asking for your number is a start. Being 27 and without a track record of successful lov'in, I am going to make an educated guess that your career has been more important to you than finding Mr. Right? Most women in your position have done just that, that's why they're the "boss's boss"! Sacrifices were made on your part and now it's time to settle down with someone. I don't blame you. There's a lot more to life than mak'in money and climbing the ladder, as you're finding out. Maybe, just maybe this guy is the one. As one who understands this principle, only a few "number one choices" come along in a lifetime. Waiting around for a movie ending is for losers...and you don't qualify as a loser by any stretch of the imagination. I would make another effort, put the pride on the shelf, and try another approach. Again, if he asked for the number you know there's interest. A guy doesn't ask for that and not be a little tempted to pursue. Trust me. Something's brewing inside of him...maybe he's shy, maybe he's this or that...I don't care to be Dr. Phil. It doesn't matter why, it only matters to me how to close the deal! I want results. And as the boss's boss, you understand results better than most...
