Yes! And boy have I regretted it! Many years ago I had a roommate who tried to kill herself, so I had to call emergency. One of the firemen who came was gorgeous and I recognized him as a customer at my work.
I was married at the time and my husband died in a bad accident about a year later.
The fireman came into my work and started asking me if I would come visit him at his station. I couldn’t understand why he wanted me to come visit him- I was badly grieving the loss of my husband. He kept coming in asking me to visit him but I never did because I kept thinking that he was some kind of counselor who was thinking I was suicidal or something because of my husband dying.
He stopped coming in my work and years went by without me seeing him there.
Fast forward to now. I have an elderly lady who rents a room from me and she has had to call an ambulance a few times. The first time I was there and there were tons of police and firemen at my house and the hot fireman was one of them! He recognized me and was very friendly and said he would come visit me at work sometime but he hasn’t so far.
My roommate called the ambulance again when I was at work and again, he was one of the firemen that showed up. She said he kept looking around and asking questions about me!
I realized that he was interested in me, even way back years ago. He had moved out of town and was now back at the same station by my house.
I got my nerve up and called the station and talked to him, thanking him for taking such good care of my roommate when I wasn’t there. I was sure that he would ask me for my phone number but he was polite and friendly but hung up pretty quickly without asking me for my number and I still haven’t seen him at my work.
So I know he probably has rules to go by as far as not fraternizing with people and no telling who was sitting next to him when I called. Maybe his boss.
Either way, years ago I had no clue he was actually probably trying to get to know me by asking me to come see him at his station and I will always regret not doing it years ago!
