Ok so I'm back to dating after being out of the scene for 8 years while married. Almost feels like I'm having to learn to date all over again.
My question is about a recent situation with a woman I work with. Basically she initiated the first conversation with me, just some small talk about if I drove a particular car. We talked a few times briefly over the past couple weeks because she always walks by my desk during her break. Recently she started touching me on the arm or shoulder when she would walk by and say hi. A couple of buddies that sit next to me and myself as well all got the impression she seemed interested in me. So I decided to give her my phone number yesterday when she stopped by to say hi. I may have come off as slight nervous, but I felt like I tried to give her the impression that it was a big deal if she called me. I just said to call me some time and we could get together or whatever. Well she took the number, and later that day, she came buy, and asked if I knew that she was married. I said no I wasn't aware of that, and she dropped the whole "but we can still be friends" line. Then she said she wanted to set up me with a friend of hers, to which I replied sure.
Basically, I'm just wondering, do I take something like this at face value, or did she basically get turned off by the way I approached her, aka giving her my number instead of getting hers, possibly coming off as either nervous or disinterested when I told her to call me, etc.
I'm excited to be back in the dating game again, but at the same time, I kinda feel like I'm gonna have to learn how to attract women all over again. I have no problems in the physical looks area, but I really need to improve when it comes to my entire approach to woman I want to get with.
