Thanks for reading.

 

I've been with this girl for a little while now. We had an argument and I broke it off with her. It was mainly over her sister. That's another story.

 

Anyway, when her sis is not around, we are great. Part of the reason I broke it off with her was a hope that she reconsider the willingness to come to a compromise with me. That hasn't happened yet. I really like this girl but I know I can't go on unless this changes. I want to give her that chance without being a jackass.

 

What would be the best way to approach this situation moving forward with an "open door" policy in mind?

 

By open door, I mean, I want to portray the fact that I am not upset, but caring. I want to do the right things that could eventually lead to a second chance. I figure, even if the second chance doesn't work out, maybe this could help our work relationship.

 

Is there anyway to avoid these awkward situations at work? I have worked with her a few times since this happened (different departments). The first time I saw her I asked for my key back. She was very angry looking.

 

A few days later, we found ourselves hanging with the same co-worker friends. It was weird because we were both ignoring each other, yet standing right next to each other addign to the conversation. Never directly addressed one another.

 

A day later... I am standing, working on something and out of the corner of my eye I catch her walking down the corridor, with her eyes beaming at me. A few hours later, I am getting a snack, looking straight ahead, and when I turn to walk away, she is beaming at me as she is walking past.

 

Not a word. I know body language is louder than words. What do you guys think this is all about?

 

Like I said, I just want to do whatever I can to make it possible to reconcile (hopefully) or be friends (eventually). I want her to see that I am a good, caring man.

Geez, I dunno. You lose all credibility by saying that you want to leave the door open for future. You should be wary of breaking up with someone with the hope of getting back together with them. If you're not compatible, you're not compatible. Time may make you forget how incompatible you were, but it will not change. Why would she suddenly change her relationship with her sister at this age?

I think it's going to be hard to get over her when I have to see her everyday and vise-versa.
