So confused again! Some objective perspective please:
I messaged her being like how about we do it Thursday or Monday. She replied saying someone else's leaving drinks are likely to be Monday. I wasn't going to be able to make it when they were on Friday so now I will. On one hand, this is more suggestion that she's trying to steer me away from a date without having to say no. On the other, she could just not get I mean a date. On the third hand, it is legit fair enough that Thurs/Mon don't work if we'll see each other on Monday.
If I probably see her on Monday I probably won't get her alone. I can't do anything unprofessional in front of the team.
If I message her just saying 'ok, probably see you Monday' I loose all date momentum. I kind of feel like I'd have to say something around how I want to have a drink with just her. But so un-smooth!
My gut is now saying she's trying to say a nice no. But this is just FB messages, when in person my gut says she likes me which I can't quite discount but maybe it's wilful thinking. So then I think I need to say something generic in a message and re-asses where this is at on Monday. If I still feel she's interested, then I'll try to have a chat with her and if not try FB again.
I don't want to be a pest type guy who doesn't know when to quit. But equally she's not said 'no'. I'm not adverse to being up front with her and just saying 'I'm confused, are you interested?' but again so un-smooth
