"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

so this new girl started at my work and she's been very flirtatious, pressing up against me, grabbing my arm, tons of kino. She is training to be a boss in the company eventually so I'm like should I go for it. I got her number the other day we haven't worked together much recently but we do work together a lot after this week. I'm wondering how should I proceed?
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Only if you don't give a flying eff about your job security. Go ahead, have at it.

well a normal job I would say you're right but people do hookup at my job. Bosses transfer out all the time so it's not like I'd be working with her for 10 years.

If you're spinning plates, just looking for a fling, etc its dangerous. If you plan on going full AFC and going slow, a lot of guys meet their wives at work.

Overall though, probably a really bad idea.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Same advice as Rex....stay away from office romance. Its is a loose loose situation. What happens when she is pissed off at you ...or you dump her cause she pissed you off...and you have to see her at work the next day? Can't people think beyond the next day and their d*ck? Only exception is if a company is soooooo big you work buildings away and never in contact with them at work.

how many women work at your job and how involved is she with them ?

you'd be very surprised at how quickly women can turn other women against you and in an office environment it can be toxic

if you must proceed

show extremely little - no interest in work , don't be cold but just don't give any indication your interested in her goods

make your move on a works night out after plenty of drinks

The thing I find about 'attractive' women in work is that the attraction arises from a) over-exposure to that one individual, hence ease of constant prolonged access and consequent familiarity and, b) under-exposure to other individuals, hence the one individual becomes 'the best of a bad bunch'.

Out in the wider world, that one individual in large external group, she'd likely fade in to the crowd. She would likely behave quite differently. People are generally more confident and comfortable personalities at work because they are familiar.

I currently have a stalker at work. Awww-Kwarrrd.
