Parobe Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 (edited) Trying to understand the meaning of a message. I took one week off work when a colleague was leaving. They messaged me saying “ I was confused and upset when I saw you had taken the week off as I wanted to say farewell in person. However I understand the situation and it’s fine!” What does this mean, am I reading more into it because I want there to be something between us?

Ami1uwant Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 They will miss you. If they are still local to you and you have their contact info you could meet for lunch. 1
Dis Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 Sounds like she likes you and she wanted you to reach out before she left but she's trying to play it cool
Wiseman2 Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 It depends. Are you having an affair? Do you have a crush? Is this a supervisor? Not sure why someone needs to say farewell, when a coworker goes on vacation. How close are you?

Shocker I know! Is there background here though? Have you expressed romantic feelings for her? Does she know you like her? Did you know she was leaving and you took the week off intentionally? We're missing a lot of informattion, but from that text it seems as if she knows you like her but couldn't be around her because you're upset that she's leaving. That is a huge assumption but you're not leaving us enough information to make a more informed interpretation. If you like her, use this as an opportunity to ask her out. Call her (don't text) and say something like "I'm sorry we missed each other but I'd love to see you, when are you free to get together?" I think you'll get everything you need to know from her answer. No need to tip toe around the issue. Edited March 21, 2021 by dramafreezone 1
Miss Spider Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 Without any other contacts, I’d say it probably means literally what she said. 1
smackie9 Posted March 22, 2021 Posted March 22, 2021 Sounds like they know you have a crush on them, and understand that you really didn't want to be there to say goodbye because it will be hard for you. Did this person kinda friend zoned you? 1
Versacehottie Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 Hmmmm, I'd worry less about what it means and what the entire intention behind it is and do what you want to do based on the fact that you got an "opening". I think if you are into the person--which it sounds like it or you wouldn't be wondering this hard--just use it as a reason to be in touch. Now if you don't work at the same place is the perfect time to try to see if there is more there than just a work friendship. And you will probably get a clearer answer from the person outside of work, ie if they are into you they will try to keep the convo going and suggest some getting together or drop hints and vice versa you could do the same & see if you can get some traction. Good luck
