Last week I got to work on a project with a coworker I've only briefly been introduced to. We ended up getting along really well. I tend to be very animated and enjoy joking and laughing. She seems to be similar, and always laughs at my jokes. She also makes tons of eye contact with me and stares at me. To the point where she's actually turned her head to look at me from a distance while she was having a conversation with someone else. Even one of the mechanics on my project has said... and I quote "damn shorty be staring at you man she got a thing for you". She's make suggestions on TV shows I should watch. Out of the blue when we were making some adjustments on a control panel she asked me if I had any kids, I said no and we went back to talking about the panel. Well, I gave her my personal phone number (we have company phones but only for business). I didn't want to get a bunch of rumors started so I just slid her my number on a piece of paper. I never heard from her but I wasn't really bothered, we're both busy. Anyway I found out the next day that she's seeing someone. I felt kind of bad for giving her my number. I'm not the kind of guy to chase someone in a relationship. I respect others relationships. Well I didn't work with her Friday but I did bump into her at the end of the day and I said I should have asked if she was seeing anyone before I gave her my number. She said it was totally okay and that she thought I just gave her my number for work but she did say thanks for talking to her about it. So I guess I'm just confused by the situation. I've been out of the dating world for like 14 years. I like the woman, she's fun and funny and really good at her job, super smart but really down to earth... and gorgeous. I'm not surprised she's seeing someone. Can anyone help me unpack this situation and give me a little insight?
