Well, nothing worked out in the end. She spend the entire night avoiding me, and since I don't really want to press the issue (in case I am completely wrong with my intentions) I decided not to chase after her and give it a bit more time.
Anyway here's the full story:
I've been working with this girl for about 8 months now. I've always been attracted to her, she's the kind of person who is always very positive and outgoing, laughing and joking about everything, and she's one of the few girls I've met in my life that I haven't had a hard time talking to from the very start.
However there's always been one problem, and that is that she's 4 years older then me (I'm 21, she's 25). Personally I've never seen that as a problem, as I really cannot say she is more mature and "grown up" in her behaviour than I am. But still I figured that she would never be interested in me for that reason.
So that was pretty much it, until something very strange happened at our job party last Friday. We didn't see each other throughout the whole night as I was hanging out and drinking with the people from my department. At about 5am, I went up to my room (the party was in a hotel and everyone had rooms) and was about to go to bed, when someone knocks at my door, and its her. So she looks at me, walks into my room without saying anything, looks around as if she was looking for someone or something, then looks at me, apologises, and leaves without saying anything else.
That kind of blew my mind a bit. Why would she go up to my room at 5am? Who was she looking for? Did she want to see if I was with someone? And if so, why? So for the past couple of days I've been meaning to talk to her to try and find out what happened, maybe invite her to have a drink after job at the same time to figure out for sure whether there was anything to be had between us. But she's been doing her best job to avoid me, won't even make eye contact or say hello anymore. Personally I don't want to chase after her and be over-assertive about the situation, in case I am completely wrong with my judgement of the situation and she simply showed up to my room to see if I had leftover beer or some ****. So for the time being I'm waiting.
