Search Results: the reason we still talk

We worked together for months, I always liked her but never interacted with her or any other coworkers due to my social anxiety. Few weeks ago we had to work together sometimes and she was so sweet and playful. Still we never interacted much beside that.

One day I made a cartoon artwork for her and I was anxious to show her, but when I did she really loved it and I was happy. It was the first time we talked outside of work stuff. I told her that showing her my art was very awkward for me and she said she was really glad I did and she loved it very much.

The next day we weren’t interacting at all. I wanted to talk to her but I was still very anxious and there was no work reason to talk to her. Usually it would have been a normal day cause I never talk to any coworkers unless I have to. Although I wanted to talk to her whole day I never did and it was bothering me. I noticed that we were looking at each other more often then usual and eye contact with her was awkward. I felt she was somewhat moody whole day. I think that she might low key creeped out of me because I drew her and she only pretended to like it.

She is a nicest person I know and I always considered she would like the gesture and she did. But now my cousins say that she was under pressure to pretend to like it.

I do have a crush on her but it was just fine when we never interacted and now I can’t stop thinking of her and worrying that I might creeped her out. I can’t just talk to her because I have extreme social anxiety plus she is my crush. Now I think I made everything incredibly awkward for her.

I feel like the entire situation is stupid like why would she like that some random coworker she almost never talked drew a cartoon of her. So she might have pretended she liked it.

I don’t know what to think. She was always so sweet with me and thought of creeping her out like that just kills me. I probably shouldn’t ever interacted with her it was so much easier…

So a girl from an online group started flirting and talking VERY sexual stuff with me intensely for (probably) no real reason about almost 5 months ago, and when I tried to warn her with a friend for a really toxic dude one month ago she instead got curious about him and is probably now talking to him almost every day and most likely doesn't believe me anymore. I think this because she kinda mocked me and my friend when I warned her a second time.

I contacted with her two times after that but it was rather not so deep and smooth as how it used to be. She replied in two minutes the first time and wasn't mean per se, just a bit vague and provocative. Apart from this, she used to say she even wanted to meet my parents and have my surname in 5 years, and talked about our family of millions of children about which I joked first.

All my friends are saying she's an attention-whore who never cared and just uses me and other men for her own self-esteem. Some said I could try to ask her to figure out about her true intentions from the beginning. Others said to just ignore her and maybe delete her everywhere.

What do you guys think? I'd appreciate your advises.

By the way: I used to have a crush on her but now I just distrust her. I'm about to end this shit in my head very soon. My choice would be either option 1 or 2, but I'm still thinking about it.

I can give you more details about the story if you want.
