So there's a girl I work with, that I'd like to pursue something greater than friendship with. We get along really well and there's always a fun, playful atmosphere between us.
Unfortunately, she was asked out on a date by another co-worker the other week, and I'm not sure whether that's gonna progress anywhere. A few of us went out for drinks after work last night, and they talked about her "date" (I didn't say anything, nor get involved in the conversation about her date). We got onto the topic of past relationships, and I pretty much hinted at the fact that I don't do "just friends" with girls, and that most friendships I make with girls have the intention of going somewhere.
Later on after work me and her were waiting at the taxi rank, just the two of us. We got to talk and know each other a little better, and found that we have a lot of common interests. She also mentioned that silences in conversations between us were never awkward, so I guess that's good.
Now my question is this - Should I be patient and gradually try to escalate things over time? Or do you think I've already been counted out of the race, so to speak?
