I Love Free Massages

I think the National Theatre's masseur has a crush on me!


I work on the fifth floor. Everyday, to go down to the canteen, I have to take some staircases and walk through a few corridors on the second floor. This route takes me past the masseur's room, otherwise known as "The Quiet Room". It's here that actors, directors, etc. (I'm fabulously guessing) come for relaxation, massages, and facials when they need it (all paid for by the NT, I'm sure). The room has a massage bed, soft colours and a couch, and its door is usually open. Sometimes, when it's closed, I assume there are people in there getting treatment.

One day I walked past the room and the masseur was standing by the door, waiting for someone. He was about my height, with shaved head and big round blue eyes. My gaydar was immediatly set off. He gave me that piercing inspection look that all gay men give each other when their paths cross, but I didn't make much of it.

So, because I have to go past that room often, I've naturally been running into that guy too. I would think that by now he would just ignore me, but he always stops what he's doing and stares. Last week, he was talking to a woman as I passed. He stopped what he was saying and I could sense that there was some silent exchange between them before he said "anyways, continuing my story..."

This could all be my own paranoia, of course, if the evidence hadn't been mounting since then. Last thursday, I sensed there was someone really close to me in the canteen's line up. I caught the glimpse of a big guy in white just standing behind me (he always wears white). I moved to get my coffee and this person followed and positioned himself in front of me. Then he stared! I, of course, quickly ran away.

Well, the reason why I'm writing this is because I just came back from the canteen with a coffee. He was sitting with an older man talking. He didn't seem to have noticed me so I thought to myself "I'll just quickly walk across the room and leave." But, of course, as I was approaching their table he snapped his neck in my direction and stared at me. Hasty retreat followed.

Maybe he's just curious because he senses I'm gay too?

Do you want to talk to him or not?

hm. very curious. next time he stares you should just go "WHAT?!" [then again, that's what I would do and I have the social skills of a centipede so that might not be the best course of action]

Ollie... sometimes... I want you to know that you're great.
This is one of those times.
