OMG Drama Follow-up

Got an email from a reader today wondering what happened with the flowers that Trivia Boy sent to The Rebel a couple of weeks ago, so here's the update!

She got the flowers just as planned and apparently texted Trivia Boy the following day (mid-morning) with just a short "thanks." Trivia Boy proceeded to call me while I was at work (he was out of town visiting family) to ask what I thought the text meant and if Rebel had said anything about the flowers to me. She hadn't mentioned anything to me (and in fact 2 weeks later still hasn't said anything to us girls in the crew about the flowers) and I didn't really have any good insight on what her text meant, but I told him that since Rebel was watching his puppy the flowers might have been mistaken as a "thanks for watching my dog" kind of thing instead of a "hey I'd like to go out with you" gesture. So I told Trivia Boy that he should just ask her out when he went to pick up the dog. He said he'd think about it and then hung up.

Three days later Trivia Boy called me immediately when his plane landed in Useless City (literally hadn't de-boarded yet) to fret/stress out about whether he should really ask Rebel out when he went to get his dog. 45 minutes later he finally made it to his car and was on his way to Rebel's, I told him to just do it so he'd at least know one way or the other if she was interested. He called again 5 minutes after leaving her place, he somehow convinced himself to just ask her out to dinner, and she said sure. Problem is, Rebel is currently working odd hours at the job she found to bridge the gap between law school and bar results, so she's not available most evenings. So they haven't actually been out on a date yet, Trivia Boy was convinced today at work that they won't actually end up going out because she hasn't gotten back to him about a day/evening that would work for her (he thinks she's blowing him off).

Meanwhile, both Trivia Boy and I have been put on a huge important somewhat high profile project at work. So far we've been doing well on the project, we both got lots of praise from the 2nd highest ranking person in the office last week during a meeting where we brought the mountain of research we'd done and the memo on the subject. My direct supervisor was impressed at how well we co-wrote the memo. Hopefully it'll lead to good things job wise for the both of us in October, fingers crossed!
