I work with a woman who I have become really good friends with, although we haven't known one another for long. One night when I was tired and drugged up(was sick) I think she told me she loves me. Its possible I only imagined it but I'm pretty damn sure she said it, at the time I froze and couldn't think straight. I have been in love with her for some time and was certain those feelings were not mutual so I kept my mouth shut. The following day she spent all morning at the salon and than we went for dinner and a movie. She was having personal issues that day so I didn't confront her about what happened, or tell her how I feel. I also assumed we would have another chance to hang out, outside of work.
Since than we still talk and text a lot but she rarely initiates the conversations, when I see her at work she seems pleased and happy im there, even asking me to come in early so I can spend some time with her before I have to work. But she will not spend any time with me outside of work. It has been a little over a month now and all my attempts to get her to hang out with me so I can talk to her have failed. Last week I went so far as telling her that I would really like a chance to talk to her about some things in person and not while at work.
Im at my wits end, I don't want to tell her how I feel while we are at work, and I don't want to call or text her about it but I don't know how many other options I have. I keep thinking she might be afraid after what she said to me and how I reacted, and that's why we never hang out anymore. I usually have a great deal of difficulty in sharing my feelings, but with her I want to tell her every time I see her, or talk to her.
Just want an opinion as to what I should do, I am going to tell her soon, before I lose my courage. I just dont know what the best option is for doing so. Sorry this was so long, and thanks for the input.
