Guitarisgood Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 (edited) We're uni students whom work the average summer job. Throughout we have been on really good terms and flirt a bit. Recently we both became single and the flirting became even more intense. We got playfully teased about it by our manager. This culminated at our work xmas party where we were much more 'touchy' compared to everyone else sitting around a small table. Our hi5s ended with us grasping each others hands than letting go. As a therapist student, I started giving everyone massages and maybe spent a bit longer on her. When she left, I was the only one who she gave a hug to and I playfully lifted her up. So I think people would have noticed us. So now, last few days at work have been weird. First day back, when she said hey, I went to mess her hair (our little joke) and she went in for a hug. We'd originally planned for her to help me pick out presents for my parents but that did not happen. She's stopped flirting with me at work or even talking to me. Although I did become a bit distant - wasn't feeling it. Everything feels so awkward after. When we do have to talk - work related, she seems shy but everything is straight to the point. I've caught her staring at me every now and then. She's also stopped talking to me about her love life (she still confides in others) when we use to tease ourselves about each others. Today towards the end of my shift, she started talking to me more - still no flirting or teasing as usual but. When I said my good byes to all. I caught her mentioning how well built I am but didn't catch the rest of the conversation she was having with our manager. So what has happened? Do you guys think people at work have started teasing her about what happened at the party? I actually want to ask her out but don't see no openings for me to. I don't see myself staying at this job hence I'm not too worried about workplace rumors etc. If not to ask her out, I wish things can go back to how they were before the Xmas party yet I do not know how to talk to her about it. Anyone got any input into this? Edited December 24, 2013 by Guitarisgood
ExpatInItaly Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 Maybe she's started seeing someone. It doesn't sound like you were more than friends so she could have a romantic interest elsewhere. If you want to ask her out, don't sit around and wait or someone else will beat you to it.
Author Guitarisgood Posted December 24, 2013 Author Posted December 24, 2013 Funny thing is because we work together, I have been the one pushing her into the friend zone but now after the party I actually want to pursue something. Funny had another coworker not sat between us we would have most likely hooked up. Now I am at odds what to do. I am even considering quitting my job and moving on to greener pastures because I have had enough of the job.
