becoming more comfortable with men

Well, some of you might remember a while back one of my male co-workers tried to pat me on the back only for me to freeze like he was going to stab me instead, so I wanted to pass on an update.

It seems that I've become more ... comfortable around men, or at least the men I work with.

For example, one of my male co-workers came to work with his shirt totally unbuttoned, exposing his chest right down to his belly button, and I was able to tease him about it.

Then last night, the same co-worker who tried to pat my back gave me a sideways hug, and I didn't even flinch or get a case of the heebies.

I think this is a good sign, don't you?
