I've been getting The Eye from the formerly-hot nutbar mentioned above, "Tammy" as well as another cougar-in-potentia in the office "Kari". We had a team meeting in person today, which is unusual. During the meeting, Tammy kept looking my way, keeping eye contact longer, keeping her shoulders oriented in my direction, and smiled like we were sharing an inside joke when she adjusted her blanket to keep warmer. Yes, she was under a blanket in the conference room while the team met.
Yesterday, Tammy was wearing a very short casual dress at work, and when I followed my morning pattern of filling my water cup and tea mug in the break room, she coincidentally happened to be standing in front of her cube, and said that she had made breakfast. I declined, because I'm not eating grains right now and she had baked muffins.
Earlier last week, she brought me a few cans of my preferred energy drink. I still use them occasionally, even though they're not in line with a strict interpretation of my diet.
Kari has been holding eye contact for much longer than necessary, and I've been giving her the head toss acknowledgements in the hallways. It's like a nod, but my chin goes up instead of down. She smiles when I do this, and nods in return.
I've been staying at home way too much lately if I'm getting results like this in the office. I need to get out more where I can enjoy this effect.
*** UPDATE ***
I'm getting strong urges to hamster-bait Tammy. A friend of mine suggested I romp with her, and that is not even an option for me: the consequences are too dire, and I don't fool around at the office as a policy. Still, there's something in my brain that keeps toying with the idea of seeing how far I can push things with her.
