Search Results: play it cool and just be myself

This will be LONG so I will put a poll and I don't blame you for not replying.

This girl I got to know for some time now, she's an immigrant in which English isn't her first language but she can still speak it. I don't think she is shy but she seems very reserved and I still don't know if she is single or not.

We chat for awhile now whenever I see her, I always initiate first contact to her (she only did once for me) but she seems to enjoy talking to me.

She would tell me to come to her other workplace sometime but never tells me when is her shift which I found odd, she made me something on her culture holiday and pass it as something she also did with her friends and felt the need to tell me this.

Her folks seems like they like me because she also works with her family in which I often see her there. She would casually sometimes walk front entrance of my work (at-least my co-worker points it out to me) close to where I am working but I don't notice because I get distracted by idiots asking me stupid questions.

I asked if she wants to go out with me in person on the holidays and she said yes, I rephrased it again through text and I couldn't tell if she said yes but more like "Let's just finish with our education first." (There was a yes before that sentence but I couldn't tell if it was on a different subject of the conversation because we multi-task our text convos in by the way she replies in paragraphs, smileys, etc)

I saw her at her other workplace she introduced me to one of her friends who wants to take the same subject I graduated in and so we chatted little.

Now here's the part I don't understand, we seem to enjoy casual chatting (keep in mind I always initiate first encounter) but sometimes when I play it cool and not to make myself look like someone who's needy or too attached I avoid a few days from seeing her NOT INTENTIONALLY but she would never even text me or visit me except that one time where she wanted to give me a gift.
