So here is something that happened.
We had a Christmas party at the office and in addition to our employees, former employees and their partners I also invited some folks that we've recently started working with and will basically operate as our sales team next year.
This year was our best year in history in terms of revenue and profit. Our biggest shareholder (aka boss) is on vacation so I had to do the speeches and what not and since I'm basically responsible for most of our current success. I caught wind of this founder/builder/accelerationalism mentality in tech and invested and hired instead of cutting back like everyone else. At some point we had to deplete our savings to pay all the wages. But I told them EU regulations would freeze as soon as Trump was in office and that thanks to Elon, Altman and Nvidia AI would explode and everyone would automate not hire because of inflation. It happened as predicted so our big bet paid off and they had a lot of nice things to say about me too. Because even though they don't all agree with the politics they're happy we benefitted and were shielded from the collapse of the sustainability stuff and NGOs that is destroying our competitors.
Anyway after my remarks I ended up at the table of the new sales team. Earlier that evening one of them had asked me a couple of personal things (if I had a partner, where I lived etc.) and since she was older (in her 50's) I didn't think much about it. But at that table she turned to her younger co-worker and said: "Didn't you have a question for Nintex, I already know..." and this redhead turned bright red and started to nervously chug down her drink and mumbled something like "oh I'm way too nervous to do this now". And the other two fired more questions at me. If I cooked (and if she cooked), how big my appartment was and more random things. And while that did calm her down a little she never got to ask me her "question" before they left.
Anyway suddenly other things that happened earlier started to make sense. Like how I had to show her where the glasses are and how she was sort of nervous whenever standing next to me. And over the past week she called me a lot for things that could've been an email. The first time we met a few weeks ago, the subject of dating apps came up and she lamented dates post 30 being akward and more akin to job interviews.
I dunno if it will lead to anything but it's certainly an interesting turn of events. I have her number so I'll text her to see if she is more comfortable to ask her question that way and otherwise I'll ask her if she wants to go on a date sometime.
In terms of where we are in our lives (32F / 35M) it seems like a good enough match and I like her character and redheads in general but I have no idea if we share interests.
