Dumb question but I'm curious what you guys think of this situation.

I work at a real estate firm. At the firm we all sit in front of our computers all day, including the girl I like.

So at the firm we don't have messenger we use email to talk to one another and joke. I sent her an email about being bored and she told me to draw something and bring it over to her. That was yesterday.

Today I drew a funny picture regarding an inside joke and emailed it over. She didn't respond until the end of the day although I know she read it within the first 30 mins of receiving the mail. When she finally responded she went overboard on the response. Her response was something like this:

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA LOOOOOOOOOOL OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGG ROFLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAA....

She didn't write anything else. Seems like a fake and artificial reply to me, especially cause the picture was not that funny.

Additional information:

-She never messages me first
-Acted very nervous during a lunch when coworkers suggested we hook up
-She gets hit on a lot
-She asked me in the past if i knew how to dance and if i could teach her
-Generally I get very mixed signals from her. I can provide additional info.

Welcome to the forum James.

You need to be the different guy. IF it's obvious there's tension concerning you asking her out... diffuse it. Back off, seem interested in other things, talk about dates you're going on in the office...

Then hit her with a random text and try to escalate. Try to role play with her - turn it sexual if you can, but always have another avenue you can carry the conversation if need be. If you're witty - it'll be seamless.

-- or --

If you feel there's chemistry - approach her and tell her the tension is killing her, and she needs to just break down and ask you out. Then tell her you 'might' say yes.

If you don't feel the chemistry - bounce.

She either likes you or she doesn't at this point, you have spent a lot of time together already so no use trying to be clever at work an run more game. you will have decide if office romance is worth risking your job for.

If the answer is yes then...

assuming she likes you enough, try to isolate her out of work (dark Lounge) and work your game in that setting. Don't get all romantical and run game at work. If she wont have drinks with you after asking casually once or twice ignore her and dont pine for her.
