CaliforniaGirl Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 Didn't work. It's been an interesting week at work, one of the managers broke his foot, so I've been working 6 day weeks and 10 hour days. It was a busy week for her too. She cashed in her chips in a failing business and her favourite baseball player got inducted into the hall of fame. I started giving her the cold shoulder, just saying "hey" when we saw each other and by the end of the week avoiding her all together. Why did I do it? It's been bothering me that she wasn't putting out any reciprocal interest. Either she's scared of risking her job before her probation or she isn't interested. So yesterday we were in the same department and she was mouthing the words to one of her favourite songs on the PA. Me: I saw you mouthing the words to a song on the pa tonight, it made me laugh Her: Is this your way of apologising for being an immature idiot all week. Me: Yeah, I guess it was. I like you, a lot actually and I just want getting the vibe it was mutual. Her: Giving someone the silent treatment when you are an adult male makes you an idiot. Her: Can you imagine if we dated and had an argument? Jesus..I cant imagine how you'd handle that. Her: It was still childish. I am a grown woman. I don't play that way. Me: I agree, wholeheartedly Her: Can we just be friends and normal please. Me: We can. I like her. 3
Whodatdog Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 If someone called me an immature idiot before I had even had a chance to go out on a single date with them, they wouldnt have a chance to have a date with me.

It's moot, since she already gave the giant non-hint hint of "friends." She doesn't want more so it is no longer the OP's choice. His "giving the cold shoulder"/pouting, then making some lame half-hearted joke to get talking again could have had something to do with it. It would have for me, anywhere past the fourth grade. Next time just be a grown-up, OP.
Author Sm12345 Posted January 30, 2017 Author Posted January 30, 2017 I like her. I do too. Even more so now. I was being an idiot. She was busy with two jobs and it was petulant of me to expect her to clear her schedule so we could go out. We talked and she gave me some cake her friend made last night, so perhaps there's still hope.
