I'm 24 and I have this colleague at university. I'm still finishing my master's. She finished hers last July but we had some classes together this past semester. We had assignments together as well.
We were always friendly towards each other since we met for the first time 5 years ago but never really became friends because she was in relationship. She dated an older student of our university (he's 27) for 4 years and they broke up one year and a half ago.
Her ex-boyfriend is an electrical engineer working for a major multinational and earning a very good income. I remember he used to give her very expensive gifts.
However, in these past few months she has got closer to me. She started inviting me to have coffee with her and I would go in a friendly gesture. She suddenly takes an interest in what I do and what I like. She strikes up conversation with me on Facebook everyday whereas in the past we would go for months without exchanging a word there.
She asks me for suggestions of series to watch, etc.
I never had a girlfriend so I don't know how these things work. She might not be interested in me at all but the fact is that no girl has never shown the interest in my life that she does so I assume she is into me.
If that is true, am I the only who finds her interest suspicious? I mean, she was dating a very successful engineer who could give her everything and had his settled...so why would she be interested in a guy who hasn't even finished his master's yet? Besides, my master's is chemical engineering, way below eletrical engineering paygrade.
Her ex-boyfriend's looks are similar to mine but he was taller. I find this all very strange.

Apparently he couldn't give her what she needed - whatever that was.
You have a low self-esteem issue or something?
Why wouldn't she have an interest in you?
That's hardly possible. I would never have the courage...imagine she's just being friendly, I would come across as the fool of the year.
I never had any of this happen in my life before. I've never even kissed a girl so I have to be very careful because it might all be just a misunderstanding on my part.

So then be friendly back ... ask her our for coffee or lunch and see what happens.

But he could give her stability and big money at the end of the month. Hardly anyone would give up on such a major plus especially when we are still in our 20s and it's hard to start a life (she hasn't found a job yet).
And they dated for 4 years, why break up now when he's moving up fast in the career ladder?

Because a relationship is more than just what jobs you do.

Is this what it's all about to you?
Pretty sad.
