Funny story, so I ended up hooking up with the bartender at my local spot years ago. But was completely unaware.

Went there pretty much every day after work for a beer and dinner or a snack. It was a popular working ppl bar. Pretty much made friends with the whole staff over the years, went to weddings, gave relationship advice, etc. The bartender and I would often sneak to the bathroom to do some blow.

But this whole time I'm like yeah, sure I'm friends with some people here but mostly it's just when I'm here and definitely nothing romantic. One night I ended up closing out, had just broke up with someone, and she insisted I stay while she closed up. Then she was like, you wanna stay at my place? I was like yeah I've had a bit to drink that's really nice she was concerned. So I'm still 100% oblivious, sitting on her bed while she went to grab a beer, until she comes back in just in lingerie and beers. We didn't drink the beers haha.
