I really like this girl at work. When I first saw her I thought she was beautiful on site. Now I normally don't fall for somebody this quick so this is why it's weird to me which is crazy. She and I started talking as friends in a sense the first couple of weeks we started working. But it's was like a here and there thing. And within those weeks we had 2 long conversations. In which I got to find out a little more about her. I found out that she's 21 (I'm 22) and she has a 2 year old daughter. I found out her birthday to. Meaning I'm also in to the zodiac signs and all that. I'm a Virgo and she's a Taurus. So basically long story short with that is we get along perfectly fine in a nutshell. But anyway I was nervous for asking for her number for like a week. So every time I would see her I would just say hi. Like a dummy.

So one day I asked for her number and she gave it to me. So I felt like I was on cloud 9. Then the battery on my phone was acting up and my phone wasn't working anymore. Stressed. But 2 weeks later I asked her if she had Facebook and she said she did so I got that and her and I started talking on there. Which that felt awkward because now this is outside of work. But I flat out asked her if she was single and she said yeah. But she talks to somebody. This had me confused. So I asked her to explain that story. Basically the dude she was talking about knew each other for a year and within that year they started talking and got together but then broke up and started talking again. So with that being known I said to her that I wanted to get to know her better. And after I said that she didn't respond until days later but not to what I said. She said she was sorry that she just seen the message. Being me I didn't stress it because at the end of the day she's not my girlfriend.

So we kept talking at work but it was weird then because there would be a group of people around us so I really couldn't get to have that one on one with her because I didn't want to pull her to the side and be selfish in my eyes. Then when I had to buy a new phone (worse $31 investment by the way) I texted her and we started talking more. Not deep conversations just little stupid ones. But every time we're at work and she sees me she would hug me but it's was different. It was like a deeper connection. So to wrap up the story. Last night we we're texting and I asked her what she was doing for the night and she said going out with a co worker and her sister and brother. So jokingly I said you never invite me to go out anywhere (she rarely goes out) and she said I should come. So I asked her where and she said the place it was at. So I had to do some other stuff before I went but she asked me where I was at and all that.

So when I finally got there I didn't notice her at first. So I was on the phone with one of my friends by the bathroom and she comes up with her friend and says my name loud and hugs me. Deep connection hug. Lol. So I asked her if she wanted a drink and she said she did so I bought her and I a shot. But I had to leave a few minutes after because I had some other stuff to take care of. So I told her she looked at me in shock and hugged me. After I left I told her to tell everybody to be safe when driving home. She said they're still at the stop and she said it would have been more fun if I stayed. Of course it made me feel some type of way. Lol so from that point on her and I texted the whole night until she got home and went to sleep and she told me she was going to bed.

So today at work I seen her and we had one on one time and we were talking about last night. But only the time I was there. I made her laugh. Asked her who her favorite rapper is which is Kanye West. And I showed her how to roll a cigarette. Which she was interested because she sat really close to me when I first started showing her. She left early because we work in different departments and I had to stay late at work. So I didn't bother to text her because I was tired and I figured by the time I got home she would be asleep or beginning to. So I'm going to text her in the morning. But I really do like this girl but the fact that she talks to somebody is making me back off a little bit only because I don't know what her feelings are towards that guy or me. But I want to sweep her off her feet since she's basically single and they didn't work out. Help a young brother out? Lol

Why don't you just ask her what's up with the guy. "Are you dating, are you serious about this guy, because I would like to get to know you better" She will either say OK or no, but at least she will know where you're coming from and hopefully you will know where she is.
A closed mouth does not get fed. If you don't speak up, nobody is going to try and read your mind or play guessing games with you.

This is very hard to read all one paragraph.

Probably why you haven't had any answers yet

I like what Homegirl has to say, but remember that work relationships can be very tricky, especially if one of the couple leaves the job for one reason or another. Also, does your employer allow employees to date? Many employers these days have a "No Fraternization" (no dating) clause in their regulations, forbidding employees from dating one another.

Rule of thumb... It is never a good idea to date someone you work with.

Soundd like she is waiting on you or likes taking it slow. Ask her when you can have another evening and don't leave early.

The proper way to date and find things out about each other is to make a time when you don't have other thing to take care of. Then you can ask whatever you want to know and go from there.

Single people can talk to whomever they please, exes or not, so assume nothing when you can get facts up front and personal. Not over texts. Take a risk, and stop dancing around wishing and wondering. That's what phone numbers are for. To make dates and converse.

It's not in the handbook and I literally just read it to make sure. Lol so basically it's a go for dating. Maybe.. lol
