Met this girl at work, together for a course for half a year but afterwards will work at different places but still see each other from time to time.
First weeks of the course (about 2 months back) all was ok, we talked a bit, not that much as I'm still 'intimidated' by beautiful girls. But I didn't mind starting a conversation and I saw her starting as well. I texted her about a similar interest and she replied, but kept it safe and didn't reply that much.
During the course we barely talk (there are reasons for that but it would take too long to explain, let's just say it's due to logistical reasons, although there is no real issue of going over to each other and start talking, but we are never close to each other). Another reason is simply because I started to like this girl and it's my mechanism of protecting myself.
A month later after that texting she suddenly texts me about a similar interest. It was after a day I felt from her she was not as cheerful as otherwise and where I was talking a lot to another girl. From that day on, we texted back and forth for over a week and a half, and for me this was something that never happened before with a HB9. For example she texted me on a friday night (nothing too special, something about another similar interest), texted me on a saturday night (on which I did not reply because I was sleeping but she reinitiates that sunday morning). All in all it's been a great 'win' for me. But since the start of this week, I feel it's all gone wrong.
To explain what is happening: if you would look at us during the day in the course, you would think we don't like each other. All we say is good morning and that's it. Again, there is no real issue of going over to each other to talk, but I don't do it and neither does she. The reasons I don't do it is because I'm simply too fvcking afraid of rejection and because I want her to reach out (yes very manly I know but if I would type out how I got in this position, I'd need another ten threads). She does talk to everyone else and so do I, but we don't to each other... I've gotten into a position of talking and laughing as much as possible just to show that I can to her.
Now with the texting, there was some teasing going on, even her sending a picture of herself. There were moments I wanted to simply ask her out for a drink, but the thing about 'never date a co-worker' has been implemented quite hard in my mind. This course is very important and I need to succeed, and I already feel because of this bull**** that my performance is not what it could be. Another thing is of course the rejection, I've been on a dry spell for over 5 years...
I know I should have taken action, just ask her out or just talk to her during the day. But I don't understand why she acts this way as well during the course.
