She is a single mother with a 6 year-old daughter and it seems the father was out of the picture very early on and no one knows what happened. She is very private person. We haven’t spoken/emailed since January 2009 and it all went strange after I aked her out for a third time for a drink. We had previously been to a gallery together and out for a drink. Nothing had happened, I felt I had to take it very slowly and wasn’t even sure how she felt about me. On the day we are due to meet for a thirds time and have a drink, I get a text saying:‘I’m really sorry for the short notice buy my brother has a migrane and he was going to babysit for me ? I asked my mum and she is out later ? Brothers eh!So I reply with ‘that’s a shame, how about I pop round with a DVD and bottle of wine instead?’She didn’t reply. So I waited til later and after no reply, I sent a text saying ‘Okay, I completely get the hint. I promise I wont hassle you again.’I didn’t hear from her.Back at work the following Monday she acts like nothing happened.I was off the final day that week and email her from home apologising for my reaction. She still doesn’t even respond to that. No acknowledgement. We haven’t talked/emailed since. Yet we see eachother everyday at work . It’s a strange situation.Recently I have notice we are slowly being a bit warmer to eachother and the odd glances are creeping back in, I have laughed across room at her jokes and she notices. I am so attracted to her still and think she is the prettiest woman I know! What do you think happened? I’d like to strike up a conversation with her again but don’t want to look like an idiot. I have dated other women since, but I always seem to come back to this one, whom I really like andwould love to get to know more and date. Any advice would be welcome.Kind regardsB, Newcasle
