The back story isn't really important. She was into me due to years of myself building up respect and never giving her the slightest interest (and me dating other girls). We work together. She made this very clear she was into me (but not so clear that my method of thinking a month ago could be certain, but the signs were there).
We spoke a few times, joked, she would go out of her way to joking with me. It came to a boiling point when we got the oppertunity to hang out outside by pure chance, I blew it, didn't escalate and moved to escape out of being a pure wuss.
Following this I took 2 weeks to regroup and I made a move, I got her phone number with the intention of asking her out, she gave it to me without worry. However I texted her a few times and didn't get to the point, she ignored two messages in a row which were pretty clear, and we once again fell into silence for 2 weeks.
Now since then she will intiiate conversation with me very friendlyish, she also always looks to see if i'm looking at her. But I have shown clear fear and that is the problem. Most of my above actions have been done with quite alot of nervousness and lack of confidence and I destroyed what I spent 2 years (unknowingly) building. She could tell I was super nervous too.
The thing is, she still seems somewhat interested, she goes out of her way to speak to me, she still always looks at me to see if i'm looking at her... But i'm not sure what I can do to get anywhere. I've had a few conversations with her and whenever I joke or tease her she responds with very positive emotions.
Lurking this forum has taught me absurd amounts and every time I have contact with her i'm getting better and better at doing what I used to do naturally (oh the irony). How would you guys proceed?
