Was this an invitation or announcement?

So I didn't go to the event. I saw that she announced it to everyone on facebook. I am working on a deadline that I didn't expect to have, so wouldn't be able to go.

I chatted with her a little a few days ago, semi personal small talk. Then there was this get together of about 10 people for about an hour. She didn't pay any attention to me. I guess she was wrapped up speaking to others and there wasn't a lot of time. She knew everyone. I figure she will know everyone at that event to, so if I did have time to go, she would be occupied. So I'm just going to wait to run into her one on one. I'm not much for parties where you have all these conversation going on at once. I much prefer on on one stuff.

Edit: other than that, i tried to observe body language. i'm not naturally good on picking up on body language so i made a point to pay attention. i went up to her and caught her off guard. she did the fixing her hair thing by putting her hair behind her ears and then i notice that she looks at me a little long if i saw hi as i am walking by. anyway, i hate to analyze too much as it makes me feel like im a creeper.

Why don't you just ask her out?

I do just ask out women, but that is if I won't likely see them again.

One reason is that I'm anti-dating now. I wasn't wanting to start anything with anyone. Another, is that if someone is in my circle, due to being a neighbor, close friend of friend or someone I will run into a lot due to work, I am very cautious. I would almost prefer to miss an opportunity than feel uncomfortable seeing them again after being rejected. I just think that there are so many women out there that I could meet that I can risk asking out because I will never see them again.
