Need help Asap

[magevis]

With a new girl at work.
So how do I handle this?

She joined my place of work over a month ago.We see each other every other day but don't talk much besides greetings.
UNTIL last week she comes to my station(for work purposes).
I start a conversation in which she asks me stuff like where I'm from and how come I don't see my kids.(I don't have any BTW although I did reply to this question).
I guess she was probably trying to find out if I'm married.
Now, upon our next meeting I ask her to give me her number.
Me: I don't have your number btw
Girl.:I don't have a phone(yeah I know)
Me: So how do I get to see you for coffee sometime
Her: Giggles and hits me on the arm, then leaves, without saying another word

So assuming it's a rejection(didn't get number)how do I proceed without things getting awkward since it's at the workplace?

PS. I know not to **** where u eat. Please don't remind me that
Otherwise honest opinion and advice required from the gurus.
I'm ready to get roasted

So as I eject, how do I treat her since we work together

Pretend like nothing happened. Like you never asked her out and she never rejected you. Talk to her professionally and unemotionally.

Pardon, I don't get it. Do I actively try to avoid her, or continue as if nothing ever happened

You act the way you normally would. Never let what a woman does or does not do effect the way you act around her.

Trying to avoid her is probably not good. It might reinforce in her mind that something is wrong or build an awkwardness between you two that might not currently exist.

Be polite and professional. But don’t avoid her per se. A friendly “good morning” as you would to other coworkers is fine.

"Why don't you see your kids?"

This has to be the weirdest thing I've ever heard, considering you have no kids and you don't know this woman. I would not waste my time with psychos.

Are we just gonna pretend that this is normal?

 

[Mike32ct]

Can’t speak for the OP, but maybe that was a typo? Maybe she was asking why there were no pictures of his kids in his work station (as a way to determine if he has kids)?

(Ignore this if I’m way off.)

@Murkserious "Why don't you see your kids?"
U definitely onto something.

I work shifts(day or night) in a manufacturing company which runs 24/7.She only works daytime.

Most of my colleagues happen to take leave every other week, at the cost of performance bonus.

I'm saving as much as I can for a future project so I barely take leave to maximise my savings.

She obviously noticed I'm almost always around unlike most of my mates, hence the 'weird ' question.
