Eh, it probably wouldn't hurt.

People cut conversations short for all types of reasons.

The VP here at work, most days, he'll totally ignore me, but other days, he'll come up and be friendly.

I know that in reality he sees me in a negative light, but that's not always apparent.

So, you can just pick up one day, and make like the times you were curt with her were just an abberation, maybe you were busy those days.

Based on what you wrote, there is a strong possibility she is not interested. It does never hurt to ask, but don't think you're losing anything by not. You still barely know her.

Then it's a bit out of left field to give her the cold shoulder, IMO.

Why are you comparing notes about length of time between texts with her and another guy at the gym?
She might’ve found out.

If you ask her out and she declines, will you still go to that gym? If she was interested, she'd make it clear she was interested by being more receptive to your overtures. Move on.


Or... ask her if she has any single friends she can fix you up with. She might be happy to get rid of you and you might get a new girlfriend

She initiated every conversation and you ended each one? Well of course she got tired of waiting for YOU to do something! She figured that despite the good conversations you weren't feeling it since you never took the next step or even thought enough of her to initiate a conversation. You sat back and let her do all the work...do better in your next "relationship!

Exactly.

Then he starts thinking about her afterwards.

Step 1: Put the phone down and go talk to her face to face.


Step 2: See how things go from there.

Borderline? If you have a rage attack over nothing, perhaps, but you havent done that.

Just try to talk to her again. Face to face. Worst thing to happen is she ll be cold and distant, then probably you should move on. But she might be happy to have you talking to her again otoh.

Yes I would still go. But I would be embarrassed as hell because she would definitely someone and the word will get out

I myself can take days to respond to text messages so I wonder if she's just not really into texting. I don't like it as a form of communication, I prefer phone calls or emails.

Unless you actually asked her on a date, she may see no reason to respond back.

But she initiated most of the texts.


OP, since you really like her, would it be so bad to just ask her something like "Hey, I sense that somehow, things took a left turn in our communication. It seems awkward...am I wrong?" And see what she says.


Who knows, maybe since you were always the one to end the conversations before, she got the idea you weren't interested in her, and she didn't want to be a bother.
