next time just flirt overtly but in a lighthearted way in person. every time ive done this the girl asks me out first. dating in 2k25 is like fishing unless youre a born chad. even an ugly man can catch a fish with enough patience and time. and if you do take that step, dont do it over text or call, always invite her out in person or set a regular beat of afterwork hangouts, build context as friends, and be direct in person, never from afar. women are programmed to reapond better to a smiling face and laughter, better to hit em with 'youre really pretty and i caught feelings, would love to take you out sometime. if not no worries, i dont want to change our dynamic.' sounds unc level boring and corny, but sometimes unc wisdom wins. word from a robot who spent a long time climbing the coworker to dating ladder, i suffered so you dont have to. but you will anyways, im sure.
