Am I in friend zone territory?

[Anonymous]

So my coworker and I have been getting closer for a past year. We work the weekends , different departments at a hospital. The weekends tend to be slow so we get a chance to hang out often. We have work phones and she texts all the time. Tells me to go hang with her. If work has her go to another floor, she asks for me to go with her her if I’m free.

Outside work, we have this thing of writing emails. More room to write, no pressure to write back. We’ve done this a lot but lately it’s slowed to the point she doesn’t reply. She’s told me she’s gotten busy and taking care of her nieces take a lot of time.

i recently sent her an email with a lot of praise. I’ve noticed this new attitude for life and I felt as a friend I should acknowledge it and up play it. So I did.

when she wrote back…I haven’t seen her since yet, she wrote back with a beautiful poem that started “I don’t have the time I used to have”…talking about how life feels like a fast train.

I replied in the same poetic way, nice words I feel but yet a response which is ok.

I just been feeling like I’ve maybe pushed too much on the compliments. This woman is amazing though. I can list off a hundred things I love about her. But I know technically I am not her type of guy, looks wise, yet she’s given compliments in the past. I take it as being nice lol

she takes the time to write, more in the past, she texts me often during work, always wants me around when she’s not busy, we can talk about any and everything, we share the same sense of humor…music tastes, this sense of homey comfort when I’m with her. It feels so good.

she's an Aries I’m a Pisces though…she’s loud and out there i can be quiet and reserved lol yet we get along so well

sorry if I rambled

Doesn’t sound like you’re fully in the friend zone yet, but you’re definitely on that edge — lots of warmth and comfort, but not much romantic tension. If you want to shift things, pull back a bit on the praise and start showing interest through light teasing or playful flirting instead of admiration.

Why do u love her? Why aren’t u her type in looks

[Asker]

I can make a huge list… her character, sense of humor, how she treats others, how she views life…just some

Her type seems to be a little more rugged. She’s said she has no type but based off her exs, she has one lol white guys, she’s Hispanic as am I. She likes big beards. I have a goatee although she’s complimented my facial hair before lol but in no way do I fit that mold…but then I wonder why else she’d always want me around and keeps in touch and shares everything with me. Could just be really friendly

You need to get back to work.
It's never a good idea to fuck your coworkers.
And the more you fuck around with this shit you're just going to get written up for time theft

you ain't fuckin her after a year, you're in the friend zone.
