So weird situation. I’m a contractor that does work at a lot of commercial kitchens. A few days ago I was repairing a piece of equipment at a local resturant where I work fairly often and one of the new employees there called me out by name and said she recognized me from somewhere but couldn’t remember where. I didn’t recognize her at all. We chatted for a bit while I was working and neither one of us could figure out how she recognized me. I was back a day later to replace a part on something and she said she still couldn’t figure it out and of course I still had no clue.
Well, earlier today it suddenly dawned on me. We matched on tinder like 5 years ago. Back then we chatted for a couple weeks but it never really went anywhere beyond casual chatting. I kind of get the feeling that neither of us was in a great head space at the time so things just dropped off.
Well, I’m going back there on Tuesday to finish up the repair. Should I tell her why she recognizes me or would that be inapropriate considering we are both working? The last thing I want is to make someone feel uncomfortable and trapped.
I don’t think it’s unreasonable to share, as long as you’re able to adequately convey that you don’t feel entitled to her time or attention because of it
If nothing else it can be a shared laugh. If it make sense to maybe it makes for a nice date :)
Oh, yeah. I’m not really expecring anything out of it. Besides there’s really no way to set up a date when we’re both working. Not that I wouldn’t be open to it,I just don’t see any way of that happening without one party taking a whole lot of risk.
Yeah that makes sense
I hope that, however you decide to go about things, it works out well :)
