I know what you mean, she was giving me the biggest smile when I told her that it's all cool and how I respect her decision. and after I told her that whenever she's ready she can let me know when to have our drinks (since she asked) her face brighten up even more.

But in the mean time, I am not going to perceive that as a window of opportunity . I'd throw the ball in her court, and if it's meant to be, then she'd make a move

Be warned, You're heading streight to the friends zone.

As I stated in my previous post, I am very well aware of this. Besides I wouldn't have made a move if I wasn't getting any IOI's from my crush. Like smiling at me, looking down then looking back up and keep giving me that seductive smile. hugging me, having an excuse to touch my face (look at you all clean shaved), complimenting me on the clothes I'm wearing after I complimented how I love her shirt which she followed "I Love YOUR shirt ,that shirt makes me look so tanned (smiles smiles smiles) ... I complimented her when she came back from her trip by saying
Me: hey _____ you look so different
Her: OMG , How? what do you mean?
Me: well you don't even look a bit stressful
Her: So I looked stressful before?
Me: everybody here looks stressful, but now that you came back from a month long trip in Europe, I can tell how much you look different
Her: smiling
Me: and God You look so tanned
Her: OMG thanks for noticing, I tried so hard to get a tan on. (Smiling and she was giving me that puppy eye look)

So any of you would approve that these are big IOIs and that I was doing something right. And I would have been dumb if i didn't make a move

I think it's a done deal.

I don't see any major IOI's tbh I could have that discussion to a bunch of girls and I still wouldn't expect to see them again. I mean, you started to conversation complimenting her....

I don't really listen to the words anyway, neither should anybody else.

okay so what about the all that puppy eye'd looks and the seductive smiles then? don't these count?

I'm sorry man. This looks like a case of seeing what you want to see.

There's nothing here that stands out to me as being anything more than mildly friendly.

Count? Count for what?

IOIs aren't something you accrue like tokens at Chuck E Cheeses where you can use them to 'purchase' a plushy toy or plastic comb.

In the business world what you're asking is that even though the prospective buyer didn't bite, the fact that he had a firm handshake and made eye contact with you should account for something.

No idea bro, as far as i am aware, she isn't riding your squidgy widgey until you quit your job. Even then, I am sceptical whether she will stay true to what she says what it comes to the crunch time.

Regardless, good job on telling her how you feel. Apply this to girls outside of your work, then you have obtained your social freedom. Goodluck.

don't be sorry dude. I just want to have a better understanding
if these weren't IOIs then I don't know what IOIs are . I used to think if she's playing with her hair is in fact no questions asked a major IOI. but that turned to be a big myth

Oh for sure ... I know she's just being nice . A little part of me likes to be optimistic, but ever since studying the Game and from experience, I know She would disappear if either of us work somewhere else.

UPDATE:

The day after she rejected me, she came up to me and enthusiastically said Hi and asked how my day was. At that point I thought Wow she's being very mature about this and not making things awkward.
Later she joked about my clothes trying to banter me. But I ddnt really try to banter with her.
I have read some posts on here that really helped to not let things go awkward. I always tried to be friendly with her and act as if though nothing ever happened.

I did keep my distance however but never tried to ignore her at the same time. But even If I wanted to communicate with her, she's always look very busy and don't want to bother her unless it's work related.

Note; I only see her 2-3 days a week.

I wanted to keep our relationship friendly and professional and not to show that her rejection had any affect on me, while I waited for her move to come tell me to go for those drinks. She never did.

Then, after a few days she started giving me the cold shoulder. I didn't quite get it. she was being such a good sport about it, why the H*** is she being awkward now?
One night I got out of the rest room, and there she was working by herself. I told her "Hey **** Whatsupp?"
she gave me a very awkward look as if saying "Oh God what does he want from me now" then looked away quick and said Hey in a very cold tone.
Usually I would have just walked away and ignore her, but this time I just didn't want to look weak and didn't want to end things on a bad note.
So I told her a very funny story of what happened to me that day at work, then she flipped like a pancake. All of a sudden she's laughing and thought how hilarious it was. I walked away to do my work, she came to me again with a huge smile telling and to remind me how hilarious my story was.

the next time I saw her she was giving me THAT smile. I can't quite describe it, smiles are smiles. but to my best description, it was the kind of smile that someone would give if they like somebody but feeling sad at the same time.

IDK maybe I'm over thinking this.

I want to ask you, should I make another move and ask her out for drinks or Na?

Why are so many people entertaining the idea that the line is the problem lol? What you say has about 1% effect. It's how you say it. I genuinely come out with things like "You smell like an intelligent person. Maybe a teacher, the kind that all the kids want to bang, but gives boring homework" ...because I know it doesn't make a difference what I say, so why not fuck around? If you said what you did, but in a cocky way... it'd come out as a joke and would work if she was interested. If you said it while looking at the ground and being a pussy, it won't do you any favours regardless of if it works or not, because it's coming out like it literally is an honour for her to donate you some of her time.

The issue (as the last post kinda said) is the girls interest level...

Nothing wrong with saying you're shy, either. Some girls like shy guys, as long as this shy guy isn't a little bitch.
