Well okay, here’s the thing both me and her work in the same lab. Recently we’ve been watching S2 of DandaDan on the weekends in a conference room at work cause I was too scared to invite her over to my place. However I sent her a tiktok that was like a “date idea” of watching pirates of the Caribbean with fancy snacks (it didn’t say date idea) and she said that maybe we should do that for Halloween cause it look like it’d be fun! So I’m planning on trying to do something for that

I gave her the option of watching it at my place or in a conference room at work. She chose the conference room since we are going to watch as soon as we are finished in lab. But I feel embarrassed to talk to her. I’m over analyzing too much. We went out for drinks with another person from our lab last Saturday and the conversations turned questionable (discussing past ex’s/boners/spicy picture sending) and I think it’s just like making me feel like I crossed a boundary. I’m just very antsy

Well was she involved in those conversations?

She was present and she talked about her experiences, but it was mainly questions asked between my male coworker and I (directed at each other)

We watched the movie together. I’m just nervous to bring it up because she’s a coworker in my lab. If she’s not interested I don’t want her to feel uncomfortable. That’s kinda why I’m not trying to make moves unless she gives a clear sign that she’s interested. But I also don’t know if I’d recognize if she was interested if she did send a signal unless she straight up asked me on a date.

Does it say she read it?

Nope, but I have a response now!!! She’s busy this weekend, but asked if we could go next Friday or Saturday😊

I made up some plans for the movie… and then asked her if she’d want to get dinner with me beforehand, she went “No, it wouldn’t be within my budget” and I went “Oh, well I would be willing to to pay for you” and she seemed kinda stunned and then went “No…” so🫠 we might still see a movie on Saturday and we may not. But that’s okay

Did you specify that you wanted this to be a date?

I did with the suggestion of dinner, when I originally asked about the movie plans I was not considering it a date. I made no intention of it being a date and was simply excited to hangout

We talked, she said she enjoys hanging out with me, but felt like we weren’t on the same page as she thought the movie was going to be just as friends and suggested maybe postponing this weekend since I’m going to a conference and she has to clean cause a friend will be crashing with her for a while. She did suggest that we watch a movie next week after work… but I think it’s safe to say we will not be going on a date🫠 Thank you guys for staying with my journey!
