Ok so last year I started a new job at Starbucks. I had worked there during highschool and I came back to it later on. My first day I walked in, there was this girl who I thought was super cute but I didn't wanna ask out or flirt with because of the old "don't shit where you eat rule." But she would just stare at me and hold eye contact like beyond the normal amount and would get really close, like in my personal bubble. I didn't bite. Around closing time, she starts asking me about the closing procedures and what to do. She had started 2 month before me so I just kinda thought she was trying to start a conversation, since I'm 99% sure she knew how to do it. I said fuck it and asked her out. She said not interested, and I said "say no more, I'll never mention it again" and just thought that she must have a boyfriend or something.

I'm a music major at uni, and next week at work I was showing people some of my music and everyone was like being nice and said that's good and they like it. She says that she 'thinks it's amazing, and one one of the most creative songs she's heard and I'm not being nice, I really mean it and blah blah.' It's quite average tbh, but there was that stare again. Like literary 1-2 minutes with no break. I thought it was kinda weird so I started talking again and she just had a brain fart, "huh what yes!" and the group was just talking about tv shows and 'yes' made no sense at all. She was definitely day dreaming. Later on says that she's a lesbian, which kinda threw me off. Later on she's talking about an upcoming wedding and going alone and I was just like just ask someone, it's not that hard. Says I'm not that confident. I'm like there must be someone that you like at school or just anyone at this mall really (I was just being freindly, not at all interested at this point) and says well there's this one guy that I was thinking about asking (kinda threw me off because she said she was a lesbian)... And I was just like it's better to know than to wonder. I kinda thought that maybe I was the guy, but didn't bite until she started starring again and getting close so I was like "we should have the next starring contest over dinner or something." She politely declined again. Thought she didn't like the dinner idea so I even asked her if she hypothetically would go with me to the wedding, and said no I'm a lesbain. I'm just confused at this point.

Later on I'm drinking a cookies and cream frappicuno (cause I'm a bad employee) and she comes over and asks how is it, and I'm like really good feel free to have some. And she just picks up my cup and starts drinking it; kinda weird because there's a blender right next to it, and we work there so it's not like you have to pay for a new cup. And it's a small store, but whenever I go in the backroom, she goes to the back. I kinda just start being freindly cuz I didn't want any office drama.

This is where it gets really weird. So next time I come in, like literary the first minute of the shift, she says ima take a break and goes and buys a dinner plate and invites me to eat with her. She also invited the other female coworker (I'm thinking she's definitley bisexual), just us two not the others. There was that nonstop starring into my eyes again, and when I brought up dating and she talked about how she likes girls and stuff. Wtf?

Next time, she brings in a smoothie and tells me that it's really good and to try it. I thought she was just being polite so I said I'm really full, thanks though. She insists and I say fine.

Next time, she gets hungry again as soon as I walk in and gets more food. I'm like I'm really full thanks and she insists again. No really I just ate, ima explode, enjoy your lunch. But it's really good, you should try it. I give in. I bring up us dating and she talks about how she's a lesbian again and is only just being nice, but I'm the only one who got invited. I'm not the most masculine guy, I wear pink a lot, so I just thought that she thought of me as her gay best friend? Cause it was basically a date, with food and drinks, eye fucking, but she keeps saying that she's a lesbian.

So I start talking to other cutie in the office. Mostly platonic tbh. She sees this and comes over and says help me find a band aid, I cut my arm. I didn't see any blood or a cut, but I helped her find one and talked to her again, while we eye fucked each other. One of the other employees asked if we we're dating...

Btw, she never responds to my texts except once to say LoL and send a picture of her cat.

So the second shift before the pandemic started, she brings up the Ryan Reynolds movie Waiting, which is about a waiter hitting on the host who is a girl. I said sure I'll watch it when I get home. When I watched it, I totally thought that this is giant hint. The next shift I'm like yeah I really liked the movie; kinda felt like us tbh. She's like whaat? I partially died at this moment.

Pandemic starts, and I tried texting her because we weren't seeing each other at work anymore and she said that I'm being annoying and to stop texting her. I tried again later and she said the same thing. Later on I got the flu and thought it was the corona virus and I was gunna die so I texted her that I love her (kinda true cuz of how much time we would spend together and how nice she was to me) (this was a mistake). She blocked me. 6 months have passed by.

WTF right? It felt like I was on the show Punked.... I'm over it now and am dating other people, but I'm just curios what y'all think. And for the record, she would start 9/10 conversations at work. Never responds to my texts though. And we talked so much that I thought of her as my best friend and I was hoping for something serious.

Also, I don't think this is a coincidence but the boss would always schedule us to the same shift. Like alot. On Valentines day too.

Is she actually a lesbian? What did I do wrong?

I had a girlfriend like this back in the day.

Some girls are like this and it’s very frustrating.
They know they make no sense and like to throw confusing signals intentionally. They enjoy causing confusion.
The whole “lesbian” thing sounds to me like someone who loves attention.

I don’t think you did anything wrong but these kind of girls need to be manhandled.
They are used to get away with what they want by flirting and when you take the bait then pretend it wasn’t important (but it is to her, she just won’t admit).

With my ex, ultimatums were very useful.
“This is the last time I tell you this, either you do X or I’m out”, “If you want me, do X, or don’t ever contact me again”...

One word of advice: Relationships with a girl like this are rocky because she will ALWAYS and CONSTANTLY be testing you. So, you may have dodged a bullet in any case.

Seems like an attention seeker who messing around with you! Okay, first tthing to note, I think we've all been there, so don't be too hard on yourself. It's good you are trying to understand the situation!

In short, she set the tune and instead of leveraging her need for attention for your benefit, she got dancing to her music! On your quest into her panties, this means, of course GAME OVER. You're the man, if anyone is leading, then it ought to be you!

Based on what I read, this went south because:
* You lacked the experience and knowledge to understand the situation and her motives
* You seem too nice (and not being a challenge to her)
* You were pushing that we-are-a-thing too hard
* You come off as needy and chasing waaay too hard

I've worked a lot with chicks and while you should be careful about it, being or saying borderline rude things (in a not uncalibrated way nor bitter way) will get them all giddy and feminine around you even though if their first reaction is mild shock (esp. if they are not used to seeing you behave like that.


When she takes your drinks, you say something like this playfully and with a smile "Hey, sorry, no I don't share my drinks! It's just who I am, nothing personal okay :D But here's the blender, help yourself"

Have a look these excellent articles by Alek and Colt

Agreed! I know she's a little attention seeking but it's not a bullet dodged... I know I got those Rosewater glasses on, but I still wish things turned out differently. She kept me on my toes. It was like reading a very suspenseful book in way, always wondering what's next. I've started dating again just cause I know I needa move on...

I should've kissed her during one of those starring contests... but I kept making her wait. Didn't want to shit where I eat...

I know the general advice on this website is to move fast and I always do, but it was kinda cool taking things slow for once. I got to appreciate the relationship more, but it's the exact opposite for the ladies. They are waaaay less patient than us so listen to Chase!

Also, dating your coworkers is very very tricky.

So, don’t beat yourself up. This was a difficult one, anyway.

I always move fast... At work, I was just trying to be a gentleman because I thought that I'm going to be seeing her in the future. So I moved slow as a result. Plus I wanted to keep my job, and figured that that kind of behavior might get me fired... definitely was the wrong move. I was too focused on trying to show her that I'm not a player. Plus I just wasn't feeling too keen on dating a coworker. One side of my brain said keep going, and the other kept saying don't shit where you eat. I kept thinking, if things don't work out, ima have to see her every week and it would make things awkward. It's a lot easier to be charming when you know can just stop seeing someone by deleting their number

So true bro! This was the first time I've ever attempted to date a coworker, and would never recommend it again. It's just a lot easier knowing that you can effectively just stop seeing this person if shit hits the fan. The pressure increases by 100 fold when you know you have to constantly see them if shit hits the fan, and that everyone is going to be talking about it... at least for me
 
a good date brings a smile to your lips... and hers
