What should I do?

Salaam I am a Muslim man

I have seen a girl in the prayer room at work - I tried my best to approach her. I waited outside for her to finish (to give her privacy) then when she finished I asked her for the code for the room. I was polite and friendly and she told me and smiled.

The next day I saw her again and it was only the 2 of us in there. She walked in and made eye Contact. Rather than start praying she was stood up behind me on her phone and it looked like she wanted to talk idk. I just felt really self conscious in a Muslim prayer room trying to talk to a girl I fancy.

How should I approach her again? I may see her outside of the prayer room as well. How should I approach her?

You are creating this into a huge issue. Just talk to her as in normal conversation and see if she wants to talk with you? That's it. If you enjoy each other's company then just enjoy the moment. Don't over think it.

But it's hard to chat to a girl in a prayer room.

I feel like I've done something to upset her i just can't tell. The first time I spoke t9 her I didn't overthink I went for it but the second time I completely bottled it. Will she think I'm not interested?

You haven't upset her, and she isn't thinking you are or aren't interested. Women don't take notice of minor actions that men do and assume they are or are not interested based on that.

I missed a chance to talk to her and it's beating me up. I keep overthinking this. Will she be open to convo next time I see her and how can I approach her if she's busy chatting to a friend?

Maybe go to a work event together and approach her there?

Na I can't really do that. The only way is to approach her when I see her next either in the prayer vroom or outside preferably alone

So I was sat down waiting for the bus...she walks past smiles then goes to a shop.....then walks past me again....I said 'excise me is there another bus coming at ....'

She replies 'what.....I assume so' then sat somewhere else

Jeez she's hard to read

we were walking towards each other in a long corridor and she was smiling at her phone but completely avoided eye contact and didn't even look at me

But then she could have chosen not to walk past me

Idk if she's creepedout though cos she keeps coming to the prayer room sane time as me

What do I do when I see her next? Ask her if everything is OK?
