we have a small group at work that’s pretty close and we all use the bump app to see who’s around it’s mostly for fun like checking who’s grabbing coffee or who’s still stuck at the office it became a small habit and everyone in the group keeps it on so we can meet up after work sometimes
there’s this new girl who joined about two months ago she’s super easy to talk to funny always nice to me we started texting a bit outside of work and i started to think maybe she liked me too i know that’s dangerous thinking but she was always friendly and kept the conversation going so i convinced myself there was a spark
last night i saw on the bump app that she was at a restaurant not far from my place my brain short circuited and thought hey maybe i could just walk by and say hi maybe grab a quick bite if she’s alone it sounded harmless in my head so i did it i went there walked inside looked around and saw her sitting across from a guy they were laughing sharing food and clearly on a date i froze like a deer in headlights and then did a full 180 out the door
the worst part is she saw me i know she saw me our eyes met for half a second and i could literally feel my soul leave my body i spent the rest of the night pretending it didn’t happen but i barely slept this morning i opened the bump app and she’s gone maybe she turned on ghost mode maybe she just doesn’t want me to see her location anymore either way i deserved that
it’s totally my fault i read too much into friendly energy and then acted on impulse instead of common sense i’ve been cringing at myself all day and i don’t think i’ll ever look at that app again without feeling secondhand embarrassment from my own stupidity
TLDR saw my coworker’s location on the bump app thought she liked me decided to stop by the restaurant she was at found her on a date she saw me and now she’s probably on ghost mode while i’m dying of shame
