I started working at my current job 3 years ago and fell for a girl there. I found out she is actually Russian, and wasn’t sure how to approach her. After a year or so i started to talk to her here and there to get to know her. On valentines day i gave her a card, some roses and her favorite chocolate. She seem very pleased, making eye contact with me, not afraid to be somewhat close to me, She kept showing me signs that she was interested. When i try to ask her out she would always say things like maybe, or idk, or just change the subject.
I sent her flowers the other day to let her know i was still interested, but she said she did’nt want gifts like that from friends, which was one of the first times she considered me a friend. I decided to be more assertive and she tells me shes not ready to date any guys at this time. Although i tried to remain respectful of her decision, I couldn’t help myself but to still try to ask her out, but as friends and nothing more. She still gives me the “idk” or “I’ll think about it”.
She doesn’t live too far from me, and the past couple times i tried to go over there for a friendly visit, no one answer the door even though I’m 90 percent sure shes home.
