Hi,
I recently have stumbled upon a chance to redeem an approach that I really blew up a couple of months back. To give the background of what happened I am quoting my post from back then. Before you proceed, please keep in mind that it was my first approach ever which kinda explains why i made a total ass of myself :

There is this nerdy HB7 who used to work as a temp in my office,under my supervision,till about a week back. At office, our interaction was mostly work related, except a few details about her personal life, likes etc. A few days before her last day I gave her a book to read (she said she liked reading), with the intention to use it as an excuse to meet afterwards. On her last day, I took both her (and another male temp I had, so it doesn't look obvious) to lunch as a thank you gesture. Later, before she left, I gave her a thank you card for all her work, with my no. in it (I know! I am sorry!) She had brought the unfinished book to return, but i told her to keep it. I also got her number and said maybe we could meet afterwards, to which she said maybe when I return you the book. Later that weekend I tried calling her..to no response. I texted the week after and she replied that if I wanted to hang out it would be fun if we invite the other guy (temp) too! Since I have absolutely no interest in meeting this COCKBLOCK I replied back saying that 'it would be as much fun with just the two of us as I really think we enjoy similar things...and we don't have to call it a date!'
Its been a day since then and she obviously hasn't txted back.
Now, Two months after my really weird approach,this girl has returned as a temp to work under my supervision. She took the job inspite of knowing that she would run into me. Now since I knew she did that coz she obviously needs the money, so I decided to make her as comfortable as possible on her first day by not taking about the episode and being all worklike. But the first thing that she said to me was how sorry she was for not returning my sms and she is not very good at it etc. I said to that's fine and moved on to work related stuff. Since then I've been recieving IOIs from her like laughing at every joke i make, even if not directly in front of her. I am wondering if i have a shot at a second chance???Please help me on how to proceed. I am thinking a good way would be to admit the weirdness of last time and blame it on my being foreign (which I am).
