Hello, I need some advise from the fairer sex...I work with a gorgeous brunette and we have been chatting to over the last couple months, I have mentioned going out for a drink a few times in idle chat when we have seen each other around the office, and she has been kinda receptive, but nothing firm eventuated.
Recently I had the opportunity to ask her out formally as we both wanted to catchup on happenings at work - in particular I had a role she was interested in. So we exchanged emails and she was really receptive and a date was set. The day arrived and she advised that she was unable to go that evening apologising and asking to reschedule, which we did - again quite receptive to catching up.
The second date arrived and she again let me down - emailing me that she was not interested in the job; further she was not up for a drink and that she preferred to go straight home after work as she had a long commute. Needless to say I was left a little confused! No idea for the reason for the sudden coolness and change of mind (it is a woman's prerogative I know!) as I have said nothing to anyone that I work with that we were even catching up outside of work, nor have I come across too strong.
Being the consummate gentleman, I responded and said that was fine. Since then, I have avoided contact . However I would appreciate a woman's option - WTF happened and how should I manage?...answers on a postcard please...!
