Hi guys,
I fancy a colleague of mine like mad. She's beautiful and we've loads in common. I can make her laugh easily and I think she likes me as a person, but maybe not romantically. I'm terrible at reading signals etc.
She was engaged for a year but broke off her engagement in May/June and I knew for a fact she is single at the moment, so I asked her out at the work's Christmas do on Saturday (16/12/17). She said no for two reasons:
1) She wasn't ready, in her words and 2) she didn't want to date anyone from work, as this is how she met her ex-fiance, a fact I already knew.
I told her at the time I agreed with the no-colleague policy, as this is usually my rule, but I haven't met anyone like her in years and years and years.
What I want to know is: should I ask her out again later in 2018? Or is it hopeless?
Given the whole ex-fiance situation, I reckon she's very sincere about avoiding workmate dating, but at the same time I know I could make her happy.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Cheers!
