Awhile ago at work we were enjoying a buffet breakfast that was provided free by one of the pharmaceutical companies. I wasn't really "enjoying" it because i have social anxiety and the person in front of me was taking too long to take their food and I was feeling uneasy about at least one other person in the room who is a narcissistic type and enjoys drawing attention themselves

All of a sudden out of nowhere one of the girls who started on the job last year says to me something like "I'm making a pass at you" or 'I've been making passes at you". Totally dumbfounded i didn't know what to say so i didn't respond.

Should i have taken this at face value, or was it just playing? It totally shocked me because that day I was in a totally bad mood and not feeling like an attractive guy in the least. Was that for real?

This girl has been friendly and the last time I spoke with her she called me "buddy" before she left my office

It's called flirting. Look into it. Seriously, I had the same issues as you when I was younger. In your shoes, if that had been my 21 year old self, I probably would have found something wrong with her, no matter how hard I had to look, and brushed her flirting off. I then would become attracted to the one lady in the whole place that I had absolutely no shot at. (It kinda was a pattern back then.) Truth is, if for some stupid reason, she is "playing" like some silly high school girl, in the end she will look stupid and you will move on. If you have an interest in her, try this wild apprach -- start talking to her, develop some kind of relationship and if you decide to, ask her out.

Try to do this in person though, not rhrough text.

Small world! We get to Aiken about a time a year. It's really pretty down there and we have talked about living there instead of here.

if she called you buddy, it's likely she's only being friendly, but don't let that deter you from flirting with her.

Dude even if you weren't "feeling like an attractive guy" the fact is that SHE FELT YOU WERE ATTRACTIVE. Man up and talk to her if you think she's decent looking and friendly. If you were butt ugly and gross then she wouldn't have said a word to you. It's not too common for women to open up to guys they're interested in like that; they usually want you to approach them. So the fact that she said something means she was just as scared as you were.
