Am I about to be Friend Zoned?

[Emissary]

Ok so theres this girl, I was moderately certain she was into me. We work together and it's been really busy lately, I've had a hard time getting her alone for a moment, I got a small chance to talk to her today, I asked her out but I completely botched my wording, I looked like a fool.

 

Her answer: "Can I get back to you on that?"

 

She also let me know I'm adorable.

 

My take on those words, I caught her by surprise, she didn't know how to say no politely enough so she's going to do that tommorow.

 

I just don't understand, she isn't the type to try and mislead somebody, yet I've been getting a lot of what I saw to be little hints. She's beautiful, and yet she's always putting herself down around me, to which I felt it only natural to tell her otherwise. In an earlier conversation she suggested we watch a certain romance together, she touches me a lot, always asking me for little favours of which I'm only to happy to help.

 

For my part, I did try and drop some hints of my own that the question was coming. We had this whole boyfriend/girlfriend joke at work, would flirt like crazy, I stopped doing that and instead became more reserved yet open when taking to her, and whenever I talked to her I looked her straight in the eyes (I'm rather shy, I thought this would make things more obvious).

 

That's going to make it all the harder to take, when I looked her in the eyes I knew, knew that I really do, for want of a better word, love her. And I know I'll never be able to look into those eyes again, lest she see regret reflected back unto her own.

The verdict: She doesn't want to become involved with anybody she works with as it could seriously mess things up in the workplace. She did say that we might be able to start dating once one of us leaves the workplace.

 

I'm thinking of asking her during our next shift if she could clarify herself, I think I made it clear through my behavior how I feel about her, I think she should give me a general yes or no answer, is she interested in me or not.

She doesn't owe you anything, guy. She doesn't have to clarify anything to you. She is not your woman and you haven't even had a physical relationship with her.

 

 

There comes a time in every man's dating life when he has to take a hint. Your time has arrived.

 

 

If you want to make this woman happy and a lot of the future women you will date and have one night stands with, learn to take a hint. She is letting you down easy. The flirting was just for fun. If she really liked you, the whole work thing wouldn't stand in her way. People say that because it is a great excuse to use for someone who likes them at work but they are not attracted to them in the same way.
