There is a girl at work with whom I have exchanged smiles and greetings. I had lunch with her today and we had arranged for me to take her to her home at 5 pm so she wouldn't have to walk and take a bus.
There had been a glitch in my system and I was told I could leave early by the supervisors. I was told I could stay if I had something to do. The girl could not make an appointment today after work because she had to take care of her grandmother who recently had surgery.
I had the choice of leaving at 1 or staying and waiting for her until 5. I opted to leave early so as not to show too much interest. But then I worried that I had missed the opportunity to drive her home and talk to her for a while longer. Maybe I should have come back for her at 5. However, I didn't think of where to go to spend my time, but went home because my siblings and parents were there and I had stuff to do at home.
Even so, I felt a little guilty for disappointing the girl, although before leaving the job site I gave her a kiss on the cheek after explaining the situation and telling her I would see her later. She seemed okay with it.
Later I sent her some messages that read "[8/20, 12:13 PM] SP: Hola (her name)
(this one was sent during lunch when she gave me her number)
[8/20, 1:41 PM] SP: I had to leave early because that's what we had to do.
[8/20, 1:42 PM] SP: But if you like I'll come and pick you up and help you take care of your grandmother for a while
[8/20, 5:25 PM] SP: I guess you didn't see my message, but next Sunday I promise to drive you home if you want".
She hasn't answered, which could be for many reasons, including that she may be feeling a little compromised, she may be shy, or she's just sad that I didn't make an extra effort to see her, even though it's a fairly early situation, since we've known each other very little (a few weeks of seeing each other around the site, since she's almost new, and even less of interacting).
The truth is that this girl has been very nice to me, except for not replying to these texts, she has shown a recognizable amount of interest. I will see her at work tomorrow and will be able to check the status of this interaction.
Please share some experience and strength if you feel like.
