Search Results: feelings without knowing her

I've worked with a girl that I'm attracted to for the last two years.

Every day we work directly with eachother as she is still learning the job, and I'm helping her to progress.

There has been nothing but professional or friendly interaction between her and I for the entire two years we've worked together.
She was single and I was in a relationship.

About 6 months ago, I also became single. About two months ago, I offered to take her out for dinner and drinks for her birthday, she said yes.

We planned to go out but she actually got sick that weekend and had to cancel the plans.

The following Friday she left a treat on my desk (big bag of chocolate covered pretzels), almost like a little sign to try again (not sure, maybe?). But I didn't want to come on too strongly because I do not want the work situation to ever become awkward. So I never asked her to reschedule the dinner/drinks plan... until about a month ago.

I got the courage to ask her if she wanted to go out again, which again, she said yes.

This time we even sent a few snap chats back and fourth, while none of them were inappropriate, I got the feeling that she kinda "likes" me, (maybe?)

At this point I'm not sure if this dinner and drinks is just a friends thing in her mind, or if she has a feeling that I might actually want to date her.

So the weekend comes, she cancels again. This time it's a family issue that came up, beyond her control.

So, now it's a month later and I never tried to reschedule, for fear of being to aggressive...

But today, now I heard that she just met somebody, and is potentially dating him...

Did I blow my chance? Was I too passive?

This girl is like perfect, she's like everything I want, and we are an awesome team when working on any project together...

I feel sick thinking that I was too professional and never let my guard down enough for her to see I was interested, and now I'm gonna have to watch her walk away without ever knowing what could have been...

Since some women post rants, vents and their feelings on gender dissapointment. Kids been reading those articles online. Boys are distancing themselves from mothers without her knowing it. because of what they read online... so has this gender dissapointment craze lead to a gender war between mother vs son? children think you still feel that way... boys are already distancing themselves from their mothers emotionally without her even knowing it
