How to know if a female coworker is trying to get my attention?

[Tylerw]

Ok I work at a big warehouse and I don't know everyone on my shift but we all eat in the same breakroom together. And I usually sit by 2 of my friends (males) everyday at the far end of the breakroom. This breakroom is very large. Tables everywhere.
And she always sits by herself across the room about 10 tables away.
But today at our 2nd break my friends went home early and I went the normal spot as always and sat by myself. There are 3 tables lined up for a long row and there are many rows.
She comes over and sits in the very next chair beside me with was about 2 spaces from me. Leaving the entire line of swats open. So I figured finally I get to talk to her because she is VERY attractive as we don't work next to each other. But she then proceeds to take her phone out and earbuds out and put them in and watch videos on her phone. Also her table nor seat was was not taken.
So should I have interrupted her and asked her about her day? I ended up not saying anything. Am I looking too hard into this? I don't understand women's "cues" or "hints". Then after break she got up and left. With saying a word.
Although I will say she did briefly look at me when I got back on the warehouse floor. I was walking to my area and was not super near her.

I talked to her after I wrote this and all went well. She's new to kansas and just moved here from middle of nowhere Mississippi. She seemed to like our small talk. She smiled a lot. And giggled at some of my joke like things I said. But she's country and has a deep southern draw and I love the southern draw. I'm going to take this easy.

I think definitely you should talk to her. Try getting her attention before she puts her headphones in. See if she talks, if you really wanna know ask her what her intentions are. But. I would just talk to her. I don’t know what her intentions are. But if you like her, you should see if she will meet up for coffee and make effort to talk to her during your lunch break.

If she says yeah it’s a go. Worst case scenario if she turns you down. You aren’t wasting your time wondering about someone who isn’t interested. Long as she’s nice about it. Keep things professional and civil.

But. I would say, if there are tons of empty seats but she sits by you. It’s possible she is trying to get your attention but is shy to approach you or wants you to make the move it’s hard to say.

But do remember. Attraction comes and goes. If she’s interested in you. You don’t want her to move on or someone else to approach her before you do. Just talk to her. See if she will meet for coffee.

Coffee is a great first date, and if you or hee doesn’t like coffee. You can get something else. But it’s easy to just dash if things aren’t working out or you can sit around and talk for a long time.

Ok I've talked to her a fair amount now at work since I've last asked this. She sat near me the 2nd and 3rd time while my friends were there.
Found out we both like country stuff and outdoors. She moved away from the country to here to also help her social anxiety, by being near people. She lately has been going to her car at breaks and I don't get to talk much now. But when we do she smiles a lot still and laughs. I also have a issue of getting overly excited when I meet a pretty female who has the same interests as me. But now I'm not sure if I may have come on too strong by being too outgoing to her. So I tried to apologize about that before she went outside to her car on break today and she was confused. But she also said that we all talk so fast up here as compared where she's from everyone has a slow drawl. I think I wielded her out but I'm not sure what to do now.

I don’t think it’s coming on too strong showing interest. I would just directly ask her out and express interest. She could be starting to loose interest and you don’t wanna wait until it’s too late.

I think just asking her to meet for coffee is a good first date. Depending on how well that goes you can discuss other ideas.

I wish you the best. But just be direct. If she rejects you then at least you have closure and can move on, not wasting your time on someone who isn’t into you.

But it does seem like she does have interest

I've gotta tell ya, it's super important to heed the messages of the wise and respect the wishes of those who have spoken. You're wise to ask for advice on this tricky fence, and it's excellent that you're seeking guidance and not just plunging headfirst into the murky hole.

The individual @idonotconsent has clearly stated her preference. It's like a clear sound through the herd. In the language of the sheep, that's about as strong a signal as you can get. So, why not take their words to heart and give them the space and respect they've asked for?

Now, I couldn't help but notice that you didn't mention whether you're a porn star, or if the coworker you're interested in, is a transexual, African American, or mentally challenged. But please make sure to respect everyone's right to a harrassment-free workplace.

Communication is key. Him communicating to us his fucking question more clearly. If he is in fact a porn star, then the tranny he is seeing uses the electronics as an extension of his body to form body language. The body language sign of pulling out a phone and earbuds means he is asking whether the porn star is consenting for sex.

However, the fact that he sat next to him in the other chair, rather than directly on his lap, means that the tranny is uncertain whether the porn star is consenting or not. This a way to avoid feeling embarrassed; if the porn star still has not recovered from that broken dick after his last double anal double vaginal double oral 6 on 1 match, then of course there is no way to consent.

So, the visitor will have the excuse "Haha, I wasn't even interested I him, if I was I would've sat on his lap like I sit on my president's lap".

What are you talking about?
She is a woman. And I am just a guy. Nothing special.

Your over thinking this, but just to make sure. Why don't you just open up your mouth and stop being a chicken shit.

Dosen't sound like it she's trying at all.
