The old question of "Does She like me?"

[dalsim12]

Hello everyone,

I would really like some advice as I am a bit confused, what's new I probably hear you say This is the first time I have considerer looking or posting for advice but here goes

Just a bit of background really, a new girl started at my work.... not really the best environment i know but bear with me a minute.

 

• We are both the same age (late 20's) and live in the same area
  

• We work in different departments in a small office
  

• Bumped into each other and started chatting. Found out we have a loads in common, a lot of the same hobbies, music tastes, TV etc. Caught me off guard a bit as she like video games, anime and the type of TV and comedy I like.
  

• We often meet by chance in the kitchen when making cups of tea and just end up nattering for a while even when we really should be getting back to work.
  

• Starting going out for morning and afternoon cigarette breaks together and having more great chats.
  

• We quite often just bump into each other walking about the office and always stop to have a chat. Kind of seems like no matter what time it is there is always time to have a couple of minute chat.
  

• We are always laughing and joking even when I say dumb things we end up just cracking up sharing stories about crazy nights out among other things. We are emailing each other during the day at work talking about random things and having a laugh.
  

• She seems to appreciate me always opening the doors for her and always mentions how chivalrous it is, and this week I have been given her a lift home as she lives on my journey home.
  

We have started going out to lunch at the same time and just walking around chatting non stop before realising that the hour is almost over. We went out to the park today as the sun was out and sat there chatting away and she had to take a call from her parents and she said she was out at lunch in the park with my friend *insert name*. Its the first time I have heard her mention my name to anyone outside of the office which kind of got me thinking even more than i already was

 

There is lots of really great eye contact, holding long stares while talking and we get on great. I know most of her friends are guys so I am really not sure if she is just being friendly or if there might be something more there. She is smart, funny, really pretty and fun to be around.

 

I would really appreciate any advice anyone might be able to offer, being a shy guy like me it makes this even harder for me to work out. I am not the sort of guy that has a long trail of women, I am pretty old fashioned when it comes to stuff like this, which probably does not help my cause always I am probably just over analysing everything majorly

 

Thanks in advance for any replies

The only way you can know is to ask her out. We can sit down and analyze all day but the only sure way for you to find out if she's interested or not is to simply ask her out on a real date.

Exactly. Ask her to do something outside of the work environment. You say you're "old fashioned"...well, maybe a movie would work?

 

It's easy to read too much into things when you're attracted to someone, so it's important to just ask and get it over with. If it's a no, you're still friends. If it's a yes, well...

Send her a note.

 

Tell her to check yes, no, or maybe.
