Is she mad I didn’t make a move?

[Anonymous]

So I met this girl at work a few weeks ago and we instantly clicked. We had a lot chemistry and flirted all the time she’d give me strong eye contact and seemed really interested when I talked to her. She’s given me a few light touches, stares at me often and a few other signs. But I don’t know if she’s just being nice or she actually is showing interest? She’s gone a bit cold now and I don’t understand what happened? Is she mad I didn’t make a move yet? It’s like she’s stopped talking to me and always talking to other people now. She seems nervous now when I’m around but I don’t think she was acting nervous before.

Work is always a toughie. Remember that people who work together are obligated to be in the same vicinity no matter how they feel.

You're walking on a fine line here. I've said before on this site that harassment accusations can come simply by having someone feel uncomfortable. It's an unfortunate truth that can make it very hard for you to get work in the future.

Honestly I would've prevented this from happening by not flirting with any chick I work with. If something does happen between you and the two of you break up, you still have to see each other and things can get weird. You also come across situations like the one you're in now. Romantic workplace relationships aren't worth it.

I would talk to your manager about it. They can tell you what you should and shouldn't do, and you should listen to them. Your first obligation is your employment status with the company and the safety of your own reputation. There are literally billions of women on the planet. Choose one you don't work with. Cheers.

So at the end of the day she doesn’t like me and I make her uncomfortable and I might get in trouble if I go any further?

If you get any sort of inkling that someone is uncomfortable around you, chances are that they are for one reason or another. Being in the workplace changes how you should navigate it.
