Have you ever known someone you thought you would never be attracted to in a million years? Met someone you were only interested in a friend, if that? This is the position I’m in now. You all know how I had a huge crush on FMM. Then there was the other maintenance man (now known as MM). I was completely NOT attracted to MM. He was friendly and used to talk to me all the time and usually whenever something needed to be fixed in my apartment, MM showed up to fix it.

Of course we got to be chummy and I saw him every day. And little by little he started to grow on me. It’s now to the point where I definitely like him and I find him attractive and I think he feels the same about me but I’m not sure.

I know it seems like I’m just going to start to work my way down the maintenance man list but it’s not like that. When I think back, I was attracted to FMM, but I didn’t know him. When I got to know him, he wasn’t so attractive. We are still friends, very good platonic friends. But I could never deal with him on a boyfriend level.

In MM’s case, I’m attracted to HIM. It’s ironic, it turns out he used to be a cashier at a drugstore I used to go in daily. Yes, I remember him and he remembers me. Philly is huge. I could honestly go a long time without seeing someone I know.

Here’s the scoop from today. My central air isn’t working. BLAH! I called the office and reported and maintenance showed up (not MM). He told me my unit is frozen over. I don’t know how that happened since I haven’t run it. I guess that was my problem! Tomorrow they will send the cooling guy over first thing to fix it. Until then, we sweat.

About 10 minutes after he left, MM showed up. He asked what was wrong with the air. So I told him what the other guy told me. My dad asked him to sit down and he was chilling with us awhile watching MASH. MM told me he was working on an apartment that night and if it got too warm to come on over. He told me this about 4 times before he left.

I had no intentions on going over there, because I’d feel stupid. But then I saw MM on my way to get water ice. Naturally, I asked him if he wanted one. Of course he did. I came back with it and we wound up sitting in the apartment talking for about TWO hours! This isn’t the first time, but it’s the first time off hours. We talk a lot during the day as I see him.

I really wonder where this is leading…
