finally mustered up the courage to talk to my crush at work. Who has been exchanging glances with me..
But I think I did it in the most dorky way. I told her "Hey I don't think we've been properly introduced" and I asked for her name and told her mine. But then I extended my arm out to shake her hand. Her hands were full, but I can tell she thought it was strange, but made the effort to make that hand free to shake mine.
After she said pleased to meet you. I said alright, that was it, bye.
This is because I could feel my face was getting red and that I was stuttering.
She had just come out of the bathroom when I talked to her, anyway I had to walk away to collect my thoughts this took me a minute, then when I came back I avoided eye contact with her cause I felt I screwed everything up.
But then she went to the bathroom again...
and when she came back as she walked by me, she didnt glance at me, she stared.
She seems to go to the bathroom a lot, and I think she's checking her appearance. Cause I hardly go, but when I went at the end of the day, I saw her, I looked, but this time she looked away, and then as I was gonna walk past her I put my head down because I was overwhelmed by this rejection. But then I felt her gaze.
Then at the end of the day, instead of looking at me like she usually does, It's like she did everything possible to completely avoid me.

She knows I like her. Because my older coworker told her I found her attractive.
I thought my nerves would settle after talking to her. But now I'm even more nervous.

I think what I'm most nervous about, is when she said pleased to meet you, I basically said okay bye and nervously walked off
What can I do?

What's even worse is the old guy called out my name and pointed to her, she was out of my field of vision, near the end of the day. But that makes it even more obvious I have a thing for her. And I still don't know how she feels about me

She doesn't even know you (and vice versa). All you know are each other's names. Make some small talk tomorrow, and the day after that, and the day after that... You might not even like her anymore after you learn a thing or two about her.
And stop thinking about what happened. You can't do anything about it, and there's no more meaning you can extract from it. I highly doubt she's sending some cryptic messages by choosing how she walks or where she looks.
