Ok, I work at the same organization as this woman for like the past 3 years. We work in different departments that are scattered throughout the city but I first met her when we took a first aid class together. I noticed her kind of checking me out but didnt give it much thought. That day it was her birthday and she bought in a cake and after class she goes up to me first and asked me did I want some cake. I accepted of course, lol and from that day whenever I would see her we had good conversations. Problem is I rarely see her because we work in different areas and I only saw her like three times a year. Fast forward three years later, were facebook friends, I learned she's single with a small kid, I'm single of course. I did my best to talk to her through Facebook and when I saw her so I decided to go for it. I tried to ask her out at work but she's the receptionist so she's always on the phone or helping out people, so I sent her a private message on Facebook saying that I liked her as a person because of her positive energy and asked if she'd be interested in doing lunch or dinner sometime. She wrote me back the next day something like 'Oh that's so sweet, but actually I'm not looking for a romantic relationship but would enjoy meeting for lunch as friends'. **** have I heard that before. So wondering should i try it out as friends, which I have plenty of, or just say eff it and move on? IDK, saying that's so sweet sounds like what a grown woman would say to a 9 year old that had a crush.
