I have a situation with a co-worker that I can't figure out for the life of me. Here is the shortened version of my situation...It seems like we have all of the ingredients for a great relationship but I don't know...she knows where I stand. My heart tells me we will be together but a part of me wonders when...

I care about her sooo much and she knows.

She had definite interest first.

I know she cares about me.

Attraction is definitely not an issue.

We are very compatible.

She has acknowledged my traits (looks, sweet/good heart, intelligence, sense of humor, and tons of other things).

We are both single. Neither of us have been on a date in the 2 years we have known each other. I don't think she has never been in a serious relationship. Neither have I. We are both in our 20s. Neither of us just date for the heck of it.

We have a lot in common and similar traits, interests, morals, etc. But we are also a good balance personality-wise.

She knows how much I care for her and how I appreciate her, respect her, support her, listen to her and always make an effort for her. She knows that I have seen both sides of her but never ran for the hills after seeing the other side.

Any ideas?

How do you know what "she knows" ?

You've known her for 2 years. You claim she's attracted to you. Why don't you just ask her out on a date ? Seems like a no-brainer.

Have you asked her out? If not, why not?

Hey BE A MAN! Make a plan (that you think she might enjoy) and tell her that you are going to this place on this day at this time AND tell her she is going with you. Date done! Have a good time, make sure you have an interesting place to go to after the event, buy flowers the next day, and then repeat the process.

Does she ever drop hints about dating?

You might be in the friend category. If you hit on her, she may then drop you like a hot potato.

That's not a good reason to not ask her out, though. The OP clearly wants a romantic relationship with this woman, and is not satisfied by a platonic friendship with her. It does the OP no good to keep things going the way they are going out of fear of losing a friend.

The OP should definitely ask this woman out on a date !

Sounds really nice. Why are you posting on a forum as opposed to asking her out. Eventually she'll think you're not interested and probably move on.

Maybe she is afraid to date someone she works with in case it doesn't work out...or maybe your company has rules against dating?
