You're probably clicking on this thread thinking I'm going to break down a commonplace situation and how I'm overthinking it. Well, you'd be right! But I do need a little insight as to what took place.
I work at a company with a lot of people, many of whom are in their 20s like myself. The girl in question is a HB9. A couple of years ago, this HB could not stand me, for reasons unknown. It wasn't pretty. Over time, perhaps aided by her moving to another department, her negative feelings have subsided and we get along rather well when we run into each other from time to time. She laughs at my wit and engages in the interaction. We go to the same gym, so there are some inside jokes as a result. Despite this, I have not once asked for her number or tried to set up plans, due to me being unsure if the atmosphere from a couple years back is fully in the rearview mirror.
That's the background info. Now to the minute issue I'm overthinking. A couple of nights ago, HB9 randomly emails me about some project she is working on asks if I know where one of the items she needed was located (because she figures I'd somehow magically know?). Keep in mind that I have literally no connection to any of the items needed for the project, and she knows several other people in my department. Again, very random.
For what it's worth, I found the item rather quickly due to some veteran tricks she wouldn't know I knew. She was very complimentary when I emailed her the good news. But was this simply a very random work engagement, or is she hinting at something more? Yes I'm overthinking a basic situation, but the thought of her IL swinging from 0% to over 50% without me doing much of anything is intriguing to me.
