I work in research and development for a large UK-based cosmetics/toiletries manufacturer.
To make up our formulas, we buy chemicals from assorted suppliers. Sometimes, these suppliers' sales staff like to visit and talk about how wonderful some of their particular products are in a bid to try and get us buying from their promoted range; not so long ago, one particular supplier had many products to present and a number of them had applications beyond cosmetics and toiletries, so members of several R&D teams were gathered together for a group-wide presentation at one of our central sites. Since the site I work at normally sends two people to such events and one of the usual attendees was off on long term sick leave, I stood in for them.

The presentation itself was nothing out of the ordinary. What made it worthwhile in my mind was the opportunity to meet from other sites, in particular a specialist I knew by name and had briefly spoken to on the phone many moons ago but had never before met in person. I certainly had no idea she was about the same age as me and quite as bonny a lass as she turned out to be.

On several separate occasions, she made clear, direct eye contact and held it for several seconds, sometimes even looking over the shoulder of the person she was talking to to do so. This made me take an interest because, well, stuff like that doesn't happen every day. Once I got talking to her, I found out she was not only attractive but (apparently) compassionate, funny and intelligent too. Somehow I managed to stay coherent and fairly suave, but my face felt like it could have served as a busy restaurant's hot plate.

The presentation was over by 1.30, and I returned to site for a few hours of work on that unusually sunny Friday afternoon. When I got home, I found that the memory of her wide expressive eyes, perfect cheekbones and sweet smiling mouth had lingered and imprinted itself into my unconscious mind and was now going round and round and round it like a stuck record. Before I knew what was happening, I had regressed from my usual cynical-old-bastard self into the love-stricken youth I never was.

Yeah I know, gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyy etc. There's no conclusion or punchline to this story by the way, I'll go back to spouting senseless bab tomorrow.

So your story is
I fancied the girl who came to sell us stuff.
(Mork, Fri 16 Mar 2012, 10:25, closed)

Wrong, I fell for a lass who came to listen to someone trying to sell us stuff.

Also, it doesn't help that there's a word missing in the second paragraph.
"meet from other sites" should read "meet colleagues from other sites". I may be able to spell when drunk, but my proofreading really goes to shit. For this grievous error I can do naught but apologise.

tl;dr version
"I met a hot girl, she seemed to like me too, but I did nowt about it."

Conclusion: crippling autism.

I'm afraid I can't accept that
The correct answer was, "I'D SMASH HER BACK DOORS IN LOL".
