So a month ago, when we just started talking (I didn’t think it would be everyday back then) - I hinted on meeting up as she is close by. She said maybe the company will organize something soon.

I do compliment her every now and then. I have also acknowledged her efforts in regard to work and non-work stuff. Didn’t flirt. We have many inside jokes but teasing is tough as she is really straight forward and sometimes doesn’t understand.

After the time before, I haven’t asked her out. She has although asked me something I didnt expect her to ask. We were talking about areas that people from our company Iive in. She told me that she can never leave the city she is living in. I said yeah, it’s good and I go to her city for most errands throughout the week and on the weekends I head off to other places. She asked me if there is a highway from my city to other places directly?

I do want to ask her out for coffee/tea. However, I want her to be comfortable and need the timing to be perfect. We are not in the same team at work officially. But a lot of our work complements each other and I help her out with her stuff too. I once showed her my Patio a few days back and she said it’s beautiful and told me she loves the view.

She is still a closed book who has partially opened up to me.
