This is a vent more than anything but its gnawing at me! I had to call the IT department for a problem I was having with my internet the other day. The girl's voice immediately got my attention in a way that made me think she was someone I would find attractive. I dismissed that thought because I was calling IT for help, not a dating service. Anyway, at one point she said there would be 10-15 minutes that it would take for her to run a test and gave me her number in case the call was dropped. I didn't right it down. SO, after a couple of seconds into the test, she asked how the weather was where I live. From there, the conversation took off. It was very comfortable like we "clicked." Nothing romantic was said but we talked well past the "test" she had to run. We talked like two people interested in one another's lives and it felt "right" somehow. If someone would have been in the room they'd have teased me after hanging up saying "somebody's got a girlfriend!" lol I've talked to IT people and others on phone calls where we chatted but this was way different. It was like we were holding back because it was an IT call for goodness sake! Eventually, she brought up the test and as it turned out, I would need a tech to come by my house. She was back in "work mode" then, explaining various things. Then we said our good byes but it was like "we" were back in the non-professional mode which wasn't inappropriate but just like two people that don't want to end the call...but we did. It was like she said "good bye" 3-4 times in a soft voice and each time saying something like "i really enjoyed talking to you." I returned the sentiments. I feel silly about this but I can't get it off my mind and wish I would have asked to talk more to her when she's not working. What can ya do? Nothing I suppose.
Years ago I worked a job where at the end of every day I had to call our stock order in. I usually got connected with the same guy and our calls became very friendly, even talking far beyond that day's stock order. At some point we met in real life, I think it was an industry convention where we all showed up. We definitely did not click in real life.
It was sort of like reading a book or true story and picturing one of the characters in your head, then seeing or meeting the actual person and it's not at all what you envisioned.
I'd just chalk it up to a fun human interaction. They're nice.

Yep.
I have those kinds of phone conversations all the time, with guys and gals.
Some good human interaction, but nothing close to being a relationship.
Just some sunshine foe a dreary day...
This is definitely NOT a intimate relationship issue.
Maybe not, but he's clearly asking what our thoughts are as far as getting back in touch with her and that could become something. People get into relationships by things like this all the time. No need to blast him out so fast.
She could have a lively voice and yet when you see her in person you could find her unattractive. You should call her up and ask her out right now. Or ask her to send you photos. That would be smart! @@
Oh dear. OP, don't "dwell." Even if there was something there... the situation wasn't right. This was a business interaction, not a personal one. It was great to talk to her, sucks that it didn't work out, but oh well. Nothing to dwell on... just smile because you got to talk to someone cool and let it go.
