Should i shoot my shot
Hi,
So there’s this girl at work who is exactly my type and I actually really like her. She’s been in the company for about 8 months now and we very rarely see eachother. As she is a trainee she’s been doing rotations around the different teams and as i mix between 2 different teams I’ve spent a fair few days with her and thats where i really began to like her. Usually I wouldn’t do anything with it being work and 9/10 times just physically attracted to her but i love her personality too.
I decided to text her about a tv show we’d been talking about and having a laugh about so it wasn’t direct or anything. We were both awful at replying and would reply once or twice a day but the replies were good from both sides. It was her last day on the rotation yesterday and i spent a bit of time with her. She’d text me that morning but i hadn’t replied yet and we didn’t discuss anything we texted about when together yesterday so I replied last night to hopefully keep the conversation going but it was a reply where it could be left and it wouldn’t mean anything. She’s viewed my insta story this morning so i’m assuming she’s just leaving it at that. Whether that being due to talking about the same thing for a number of days or just not worth a reply i’m not sure
I’m not sure if she knows i like her or whether her replying was just being polite and neutral but i do still really want to shoot my shot and ask her out but i just don’t want to embarrass myself at the same time or even worse make her feel uncomfortable
Any advice?

Try an ambiguous date request like a bite of lunch or accompanying you to something where others will be and see how she responds

I wouldn't tell her I like her yet, but maybe grab food together after work? this seems very adult-y

well yeah obviously because she will never do it, even if she likes you

just shoot your shot. what other option is there. whining about it for the rest of your life? suck it up and go for it champ. rooting for you. otherwise you’ll just remain in the same position. things won’t magically get better if you do nothing. goodluck. also we all die soon anyways. no one will care or remember if you got rejected once when you were young. just be strong
