Hello and how is everyone.
This is my first post but I am very familiar with the PUA community. I have done much research on my own often scouring forums and other sites for info over the years. However I have not sought help tell this particular experience.
I recently started a new job and encountered this HB that works with me. I have always refused to pursue any type of office flings but truth be told I can not resist this time. From the moment we made eye contact I felt instant attraction to her and butterflies (which at this point in my life I have to search my memory to try to remember the last time). I introduced myself to her but in a conscience effort i cut the conversation short to keep her at a distance. Anyway, she is rarely short on words and is very outspoken and has a bubbly personality. However, whenever I enter a room with her she is quite and short on words. When I say something often she directs her body completely towards me giving me her full attention plays with her hair etc. She can barely make eye contact when me unless I stare her down when I converse with her.
Now skipping forward I have a friend outside of work that also works with me. In a conversation somehow I became the topic and she tells him she thinks Im quiet but "I would totally sit on his face." I found it quite funny because Im literally the opposite of quite but i don't talk at work and going off what I already told you guys let's be honest we all would believe I could easily pull this by now right? So skipping forward a couple of weeks I dont pursue it because I'm questioning to myself am I sure I want to do this because I cannot escape from it if it goes bad.... long story short I give in. So I isolate her when shes by herself make small talk shes constantly flipping her hair all that jazz, I do a little kino etc then I let it go just to give her a taste and to warm her up showing her Im interested. A couple days later I go for the close. I told her in the beginning of the day with a disgusted voice but a smile on my face "omg its you." She said "What?" laughing
I told her "reminded me I have to talk to you at the end of the day I have to tell you something." She laughed and we parted. For the rest of the day a couple of times whenever I would make a joke to a co-worker she wasnt even in the conversation and would laugh at my joke. At the end of the day I waited till she was isolated and approached her. I said "basically I think your fucking adorable why don't I have your number yet?" she giggled we exchanged numbers I asked her what she was doing later she said she didnt have anything planned (I only asked to gauge her response). Anyway when I booked her I would have texted her ASAP in front of her even but my phone was dead

So as soon as I charged it probably 45 mins later I texted : Whats up Ms. Frizzle? (Yes Shes a red head great right?) she never responded which honestly perplexed me. Out of all the numbers I've booked on dating sites and in person I've rarely have not gotten a response on the first message I usually bomb out much later. Anyway its the first text who cares right? A day goes by then another i figure fuck it. I wait until 1:21 Pm call her she doesnt answer so I debated about sending one last text and I did IMMEDIATELY after the call. I said :If your not busy call me later. This is *Myname* btw. I figure that text was slightly on the try hard side but since its been 2 days since the first text I figure it can slide.
Anyway its been about 8 hours since the time of the call & text and Im wondering your honest opinion. I've never been more confused. I figure its three things 1. Shes playing me which is cool I can turn it into a joke. 2. She is that shy which wouldnt make since cause I figure she would at least try by now. Or 3. She is a Veteran at this shit and I'm gonna have to work for it. I will not Lie At least on my side This falls with in the top 5 attractions That ive ever felt towards another woman but I know I'll get over that if I have to so its no sweat but it would be nice. You criticism is much wanted/appreciated.
