I'm 24M, and there's a girl I work with who’s also a good friend. We sometimes sit next to each other at work, and I genuinely enjoy her company, even in silence. I like her a lot, but she told me before that she doesn’t want a relationship. I respected that and never confessed my feelings, just tried to be a good friend.
A few days ago, I told her I enjoy being around her and that I think she's awesome. She said she was fine with it, but now I feel like something’s changed. I tried asking her directly, and she said it’s okay, but I can’t shake the feeling that I crossed a line.
She doesn't talk much about herself with me (though she does with others), and we don't share many interests. Part of me worries I’m being a typical “nice guy” and mistaking her kindness for something more. I really don’t want to be pushy or toxic, and I'm scared I’m putting pressure on her just by being around and caring too much.
I didn’t want to post this but I had to get it off my chest. Should I back off more? Am I just overthinking?
