She has asked me some questions about myself.When we met, I gave her my business card, just like I do with everyone else. She didn't give me her contact information. We work together occasionally, but we're sure to do assignments together every so often. So, this might have explained why she never gave me any contact information.The other day, while working, she took out a cell phone and said she had had to get a new telephone and number. That is true; I had seen her old cell several times, and had noticed it because it was a model I used to have, like two years ago. Though we work together and we do have professional reasons to contact each other, she had never given me her cell phone number, and I thought I should not ask. If she wanted me to have it, she would give it to me.Then, she said she wanted me to fix something in her cell phone. You know how these appliances have a lot of features, so many that sometimes you can't make sense of what they are good for. Well, I couldn't fix the problem, and that was the end of it.Later on, during our conversation, she asked me whether I had a girl. Then she said I needed someone who would have children with me, et cetera. She is married to a man twenty years her senior. That is, the man is like 62.Before anyone says anything, I know I must not entertain thoughts about her. I'm not asking because I want a relationship, but because I want to know whether something is developing here. I want an honest opinion, from the girls. Did she want me to ask what her cell phone number is, because she might have trouble giving it to me? Reply to this Question Share |

She seemed sad over this.
