how is everyone doing. I need some perspective. I'm only 25 and still in school. I am a rather laid back. About 2 months ago I started a new job as a stock guy for a clothing store. In my department, I work with all females. This one female I work with in particular is 21 years old and is fairly outgoing person. I am somewhat intrigued by her. I have a uncommon first name, so the first time the assistant manager introduced us, she smirked and lightly shook her head and said " Ok, I like that". Don't know what that meant, but I smiled back and politely greeted her. That same day while I was in the stock room, she came up and started to hum to herself, you know like when a person wants to talk, but they want you to say something first? So i chatted her up and everything was cool.
Not sure if it was that same day we met or the second time we worked together, but the manager asked if i could stay a half an hour later. I agreed and was getting ready to tell my ride to come 30 mins later than expected but she offered (I didn't ask) to drop me home, seeing as my car was in the shop. We talked all the way home, conversation was great then she brought up her boyfriend out of the blue, but I played it cool. After that I would catch her looking at me a couple times and whenever we talk she always kept eye contact. Sometimes she would initiate conversation, sometimes I would, but we always talked. Sometimes when we would talk she would just drop her boyfriend into the conversation, I took it as her warning that she is taken, but she would flirt and tease me a little, but i took it with a grain a salt seeing as she is very outgoing. Also when I started the job, it was seasonal position but upon talking to some of the receiving guys I found out that both my manager ( which I already knew the manager liked how I work) and this same girl "loved me" (their words) and guaranteed that I would get hired on permanent, which I did. The second time she dropped me off at my house, before we left the store she said she was hungry like 5 times in one sentence,so I offered to buy dinner if she wanted to stop and she said no, but in a weird way, almost as if she wasn't expecting me to ask her that.
Because she has a boyfriend I fell back a little not to much, but I wasn't as responsive to her flirting. One day she came in to work night shift, and I said hello to her, but she didn't respond. I assumed she didn't hear me so I said hello again, still no response. I said it a third time and after what seemed like a 3 second pause she finally turned around and gave me a cold " hey whats up". Literally 1 second later my friends who work receiving came walking up and she greeted them and was friendly. I was kinda laughing to myself but dumbfounded at the same time. That was a Friday, on Monday i was off so I called the store to find out my hours for the that week and she picked up. I greeted her and she politely greeted me back. Then she asked if I had just called her cellphone, because it rang right before I called the store phone and no one answered. She knew I didn't have a her number, I don't know what that was about, but she was talking very fast. We said goodbye after she told me my hours and hung up. She did give me her number though like a week later.
Ever since then It has gotten pretty awkward between us, every time we are in the same space you can feel some tension. Some days its all good ,some days she will come over and tease me a little, comment on how nice I look that day. Most days she will act like I'm not there,ignore me, hug and flirt with the receiving guys (which she has known longer than me, i understand) right in front me. Actually interrupted a conversation I was having with one of the receiving guys and started to flirt with one of them right in front of me. I still catch her sometimes looking at me, but she rarely will initiate conversation. She talks to everyone so freely, but with me it is a whole different story. Sometimes she would even know my schedule, when my boys would ask what time getting off, she would say it before I would. What's this girls deal? Is she just seeking attention from guys or did she expect me to make a move on her? Sorry for it being to long, but this is just a quick version.
