I recently became interest in a woman. We were co-workers with an gov agency for three years. Last year, I transferred to a different agency. After my transfer, the two of us began serving together on a advisory board.
A began to develop feelings for her. It grew more intense over time. Back in the spring, she did something that I was impressed with. I called her up and told her that I was impressed. She told me I was very thoughtful. She also said that by me calling her told her what type of person I am.
At our next meeting, I got a nice smile and very sweet hello from her.
After the meeting, I asked her to lunch. She said yes. But when I called, she did not return the call. A week later, I asked to serve on a workgroup with me and she said yes. She attended all of the meeting and proved to be very helpful.
About six weeks ago, she left the agency. She invited to me to her after-work party. At the party, she suggessted that we get together after she started her new job.
A week ago I called her at her new employer. Conversation was friendly. I asked her if she wanted together after work. She said yes. She told me one night of the week is bad. She asked me what night was good. I responsed. She told me she would get back to me. She has not responsed.
Why does she keeping saying yes then backing off?
Why did she invite me to the party?
Am I misreading her friendly matter
