There is a girl at work I like, actually I'm very interested in her. I met her at work and sat with her at lunch one time. It got a little akward. I asked her some questions, and she was very short, with just replying yes or no. When other people talks to her, she seems to talk a lot, and it doesnt look like she have social anxiety like I do.
I sendt her a request on facebook, and she accepted. She liked my profile picture, which me very glad.

We started talking on facebook, and we talk every night. It's been like a month now. She NEVER talks to me at work. She doesnt say hi. I met her when I came to work yesterday, and she saw me, and just walked away without saying anything. Also when she was about to leave, we met. She saw me, but didnt say bye. Why don't she talk to me?

With my Social anxiety it's just getting harder for me to talk to her, because I like her, and I'm so affraid to say something wrong, look stupid and make a fool of myself. I just can't take contact with her at work at this point.

So yesterday a store which sells outdoor clothes, sports etc, had a competition on facebook, where I could win a jacket for me and a friend. The only thing I had to do was to like the post, and comment on who I wanted to go out with.... So I actually tagged her. I was very scared to that, because I didnt know how she would react. But I did it.

Well, she came online after a while, and she started a conversation with me like she also do. I thought she would mention what I did, but she didnt. We talked alot as usual, talking about our days and what we have done. I find it a little weired she didnt mention that I tagged her named that way, because it's like asking her to do something with me.

I pretty sure she get's a notification on facebook, and can see the post I wrote with her name, so she should known.

I know she doesnt have a boyfriend. I feel we have alot in common. and she is really kind. She still lives with her parents at age 30. I'm 33 and leave with my parents. I have never had a girlfriend before, and this maybe my chance. What do you think?

I wanted to include one more thing, at lunch she normally sits with a table with alot of people around. I dont feel like sitting with so many people, so I usually sits alone at lunch. The one time I talked to her at lunch, she sat alone.
 
If she doesn't say hi then you should do it, maybe she is a bit shy of you and expects you to say hi first, who knows. If you think this is your chance then don't wait on her to mention something or say hi, it's your job to do so and show her you're interested in her:thumbup:

Why torture yourself. I hated situations like this where you get mixed signals whether a girl likes you or not. Your never going to find out unless you directly ask her out.

Forget all the mind games and just bite the bullet and go for it. I'll be difficult but you will be proud of yourself afterwards. Even if she says no at least you tried and you will have your answer. Good luck!

I think this *is* your chance. But you have to take the initiative. Do it!

you talk to her online but not in person. I think you should definitely make an effort to talk to her in person since you basically already started talking to her.

Do you say hi or good bye to her? If you do and she ignores you then I would be wary. If you don't, maybe she is also worried. To observe me in many situations you would not know I have anxieties but one thing I have a problem with is aproaching people myself because I worry they do not want to talk to me. I'm not suggesting she's the same just pointing out things are not always as they look.
I would suggest approaching her. Maybe just something short simple, a 'hi' at work and if you're worried going on from that maybe ask her about meeting up when you are talking online. She would have had a notification if you had tagged her properly so I would imagine she had seen that.

Sounds like you may have your hopes a little high after being shown some friendly platonic female attention. Tread carefully

Bronson99, it's easy for people with social anxiety to latch on to people just because they gave them some attention. It's a dangerous path, and it's good that he's getting advice in that area.

I'm aware of that... I just think one shouldn't jump to a pessimistic conclusion, right off the bat. Tis all I meant.

There's a balance in giving feedback :)
