Am I being paranoid?

Question

I asked a friend out that I work with, she said she didn't know. I took it as a no.

Since then I think she has changed how she interacts with me, she is a lot less happy around me. I told her I did not want to lose her as a friend and she said she had just been a bit quiet anyway.

What do you think am I just paranoid or is she feeling awkward, if so is there anything I can do to try to be the friends we were.

I could ask her friend that I know a bit if I am imaging things.

Answer 1

I think she is uncomfortable around you now.
It might be because she does not like the idea of dating someone she works with, or it might be because she is not interested and does not want to encourage you into thinking she is. So she's backed off and is now a little less friendly.

Whatever her reason, "I don't know" is her basically saying "No" she is not interested.
:(
Sorry...
You'll find someone else, though. Don't worry.

She may be a little ill at ease around you for now, but I wouldn't necessarily assume it's a bad thing or something you've done wrong. Let me suggest a possible scenario that could explain the awkwardness: You asked her out, and before that she had not considered you in quite that way so her answer was a tentative "I don't know". You stunned her, and since then the posibility of a "you and her" has been bouncing around in her head as she, too begins considering the possibilities of the two of you in earnest, but since you've been hanging back (as you should) she can't figure out how to bring the subject up again for further discussion. That could make for some awkward behavior on her part, don't you think? Admittedly this is only one possible explanation, but based on what you've said it certainly seems plausible. The question is, what are you going to do next? Discovering what's really going on with her is necessary, but how will you go about it? Asking that mutual friend may yield some insightful results, but only if they're really "in the loop" with what goes on with her. Otherwise they may be similarly in the dark, and you'll be left with the direct approach as an option (which considering you're at work, MAY be your better option anyway). Good luck.

I inspiration I was once paranoid whilst my ex-spouse and her daughter consistently gave the impression to have surprisingly alternating textual content messages. All three people within the equal room and one telephone could beep. Then,the others could beep. and many others and many others. I could not support however believe that is bizarre. I checked her telephone on a textual content message hunt. They had been texting each and every different, with strategies of what to inform me in order that they would sneak out and play with the men who had dope.Paranoid no,divorced YES.
