Is she politely brushing me off?
I'm sorry to bring such a newbie question here, but I'm really very inexperienced in the relationship department. I asked a girl (who happens to be a coworker) out for coffee last friday (actually on that same day), and she agreed. I went to where we agreed, and waited. And waited. And waited. Finally, I decided I must have worded my request wrong (I said, '...would you be interested in coming back for coffee with me later?'). Since the store we work in is in the mall (and so is the coffee shop), I assumed she meant 'back here' as in the store. So I went back, and found her with a couple of little kids. She apparently was stuck with babysitting and had been waiting on me at the store XD. She jokingly said, 'Yeah, this is my life.' and laughed. I asked if a later time would be alright and she said it would be. I asked her when, and she said she didn't know how long she would be with her cousins (who she was babysitting), so I wrote my number down and asked her to give me a call when she was free. She still hasn't called me, but I have seen her since.
I decided that it was unfair of me to say that we should have coffee on that very day, so the next time I saw her, I pulled up my schedule and asked her what day would be good for her. She was in the middle of pulling up her schedule to compare, when she was interrupted by a customer. She had to leave after that because her ride to work had arrived. I didn't see her until a few days later, when she was late to work because she was stuck babysitting longer than she was told she would be. She was pretty stressed out and told me that she literally babysat from the time she woke up to the time she went to sleep. When I went on break, I noticed someone had brought in brownies. Trying to be thoughtful, I brought her one down and told her to relax when I gave it to her. Her face relaxed and she smiled at me when I did this. I didn't get to stick around because I had stuff to do.
Anyways, I haven't seen her (or heard from her) since. I'm pretty confused on this topic, I mean, on one hand, she's shown she's interested (she's been comfortable with me enough to invite me into her car [or her family's car, since she often has to get a ride] while I waited on my own ride to just sit and talk), she laughs at my jokes, she's often happy to see me, but on the other...well, she still hasn't called. What would you all take from this? Should I press the issue? I was thinking of waiting until a day we both got off of work at the same time (preferably before close) and asking if she would like to grab some pizza at the local pizza place. Is she just being nice? Am I worrying too much? I really hate being inexperienced like this :|
