The Deaf/HoH community is very small, keep it light for now -- and good luck.

I would let things ride and maybe try again after the move. Dating a coworker is a problem for many people. She may not have the heart to come out and tell you that. Hope it works out for you.

Trust me, I know. Everybody knows each other since they mostly went to the same deaf school for 12 years... I didn't go to a deaf school though.

Why? Think she is too COOL to be associated with me? I'm curious to hear why...

I thought I mentioned it, but the move and transfer is a no-go. Something came up so I'll be sticking around my hometown for a few more months.

Thanks. Definitely. I have no intentions of this being a date. Just a good chit-chat over sushi/chinese... Awesome lunch with an awesome gal.

She's a manipulator. Move on.

Right. You took the words out of my mouth, so to speak. Don't see it as a "date," just two friends hanging out, having a good time, getting to know each other. Have a blast. No pressure...

I met this cool girl at work in April and have had a few conversations now and then. She's been hinting that she likes me.

Last Sunday, I informed her that I was moving out of town about 30 minutes away... She then ASKED for my number... Well it was a shock to me. I gave her my number and she texted me after her shift since I had to work longer. Message went like this: We'll call her J

Her: Hey Johnny this is "J", save the number so we can keep in touch if you like.

Me: I replied saying: Definitely, You do the same and if you ever want to talk in person, I'm only 30 minutes away. (I then wished her good luck with a certain event)

Her: Thank you. Maybe we can hang out sometime

Me: I'd like that. Have a good night

Her: Good night
*****
That was one of the best convos in awhile

Ok so I texted her this past Thursday saying if she'd like to do something and she never replied... I didn't bother sending her anymore messages...

Saw her at work today. I didn't mention anything to her about the text and she said nothing else but was curious to know why I hadn't transfered... Explained to her that something came up and that I'd be sticking around. She replied pretty casually about it.

I texted her a few hours ago asking if she was free next week... I haven't gotten any reply and anticipating on not getting one again. This is kind of saddening seeing that I really like this gal and I thought she liked me too... But now starting to think I'm wasting my time. I feel like I need to stop pursuing her but a part of me is telling me to keep on asking....

I just need some opinions or thoughts as to what I'm doing wrong, am I wasting my time, should I restrategize, etc.

Just some facts: She's 23 and deaf. I'm 20 and hard-of-hearing so we both know sign language (and that's why texting is used here).

Any help is appreciated! I won't see her until next weekend at work and don't plan on hearing/talking to her until then...

She probably just isn't that interested in you. I don't know much about deaf women, I only dated one that was hard of hearing and she had very low self-esteem so I walked.

The thing is, it shouldn't matter why, it should just matter that she isn't texting you back, so you should just stop and move on. How much you like her is irrelevant to the situation. She sounds like a rollercoaster, up and down, she may like you next month, but will she like you the month after? Do you really want to put yourself in that mess?

The only thing I can think of outside of that is maybe she wanted to see you knowing you were not going to work at that office anymore. Some women are very weird about office relationships and aren't comfortable, maybe that's why when she realized you were still working there she was caugh off guard.

My take on that is that if a girl really likes you it shouldn't matter. I've had girls tell me that they won't date someone in the workplace and then a few months later their BF is a guy they met at work. Go figure.

Just move on dude, not worth the pain and/or suffering.
