I work with a girl who has always had a boyfriend but recently split with the guy. Even when she was dating him she hinted at being interested in me. I never went for it because of her relationship and I was interested in someone else. For about a week now, this girl with has been throwing signals at me like it's her job. I'm still trying to get on my feet from a girl who completely used me. Should I just tell this girl to stop and keep it professional? Or should I see if she just wants to "play" around since I am not looking for something serious with her? Or is it just a not a good idea since we work together and things could go downhill real fast? What do you guys think?
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

"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.
Depends on how closely your jobs are related.
Are you in the same team, same section, same floor?
If you're in a larger organisation and not in the same chain of command, then go for it. Because if you do kick things off and it goes pear-shaped then your boss is not having to arbitrate between two warring team members.
If it's a small team then I'd advise against it, unless you're both very upfront about it just being a bit of fun.

You definitely don't want to get into something emotional with someone you work closely with. FWB may be ok.

I wouldn't put my career at risk. Avoid it and control your tendency.
"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
