Am I going to cross the line and make things awkward?

[rmk232]

I'm 21, a college student, and I work part time at a department store. I met a girl at this department store that works there also. We just opened the store in January and us both being part time our schedules are inconsistent so sometimes we see each other a few days a week there sometimes we don't for weeks.

 

This girl is 24, shes graduated college and is in schooling at the hospital for radiology. I saw her at the bar about 3 weeks ago and she waved and went about her buisness. I didn't think much of it really.

 

2 weeks ago at work she asked if I was going out tonight, I said maybe I didn't really know and then she went on to say she wanted to go out but didn't have anyone to go out with. So I offered to go out with her and she asked for my phone number. She text me saying 'Hi (:' but then shenever got back to me about going out.

 

Well this weekend I text her while at the bar for cinco de mayo on Saturday (our Mexican restaurant held an event on Saturday instead), I simply said I was surprised she wasn't here and she said she was on her way. Well I ended up leaving and when I got home she asked where I was there. The next day I text her about her not coming into work and then I explained I might be going back out that night. She replied 'come!!' and kept asking me to come out so I did.

 

Throughout the night we were together with her friends, some of which I actually knew. She made a point to show me all sorts of things on her phone and to take pictures with me. Dance with me and so on. But I am getting mixed signals. Shes made it a point to tell me she doesnt have a boyfriend. She seemed much more friendly to me and touchy then with other guys there including other friends. So I can't tell with her if shes just super friendly or has an attraction to me that shes nervous to cross the line with because of work or she just is one of those girls that waits for the guy to make the first move.

 

She hasnt texted me since I was with her there last night. I mean I want to text her but I don't know what shes thinking and I do have to work with this girl from time to time. Then again, she could want to text me and just be in the same situation. I honestly just want to tell her that I find her personality attractive, not say anything about her looks even though I think she is adorable, and just tell her that I'm not saying that I like her, because I don't really know her. Simply that I would like to get to know her.

 

But I am a bit nervous, so I am quite unsure. Any advice?

[Meaning]

This girl seems totally into you. We as women are trained by society and our mothers to have the man make all the moves if we are to make them like us. She probably doesn't want you to think she is desperate so she is waiting for your cue. From what I can tell she is very fun and flirty which are great signals.

 

If I were her I would want you to make make me feel special. Holding eye contact from across the room. Smiling at me when you are talking to a customer, contemplating my smile. take advantage of the fact you work together to build anticipation for alone time together. Then I would want you to invite me on a traditional date like a concert, or a coffee shop where a band plays, or the movies. I would want you to pay. And I want you to text me the next day telling me what a great time you had. That way I would begin seeing you as a stand-up guy who cared about me for me.

 

Remember, she is probably falling in love with you if you are viewing her like the quirky, charming lead in an indie pop film.

Her flirtatious demeanor and text tag are signs that she is into you and could possibly be waiting on you to step up to the plate and seal the deal. Be flirty back, say something through text that makes her smile. Women love that, well if he can make me smile by reading a text, i can only imagine how he will make me feel in person. Good luck my dude
