My bad for the delayed reply, I just got off work.
>I reached out... She ghosted and rejected indirectly.
And that would be a "FUCK NO" my man.
>I took that as confusion and embarrassment on her part
That's YOUR interpretation of what happened, not what actually happened, which was a rejection. Several rejections it sounds like, because you keep assuming that being "indirect" or "confusing" doesn't count. It does count, because women are weaker than men, and therefor reject men differently depending on the context. The average man (even a scrawny one) could physically overpower and kill the average woman, so they tend to reject subtly so as not to provoke rage in the man. There are women who reject men outright and make it obvious they're not interested, and therefor respect your integrity and dignity by helping you not waste your time with her.
>Maybe she enjoyed the validation.
Yes she did.
>What does that say about her. Chasing validation at work and then going home to her guy.
That she's normal AFAIK. How would you feel if all the sexiest women in your office just "accidentally" bumped and brushed by you every time you were walking by, just to grab your arm really quick to feel your biceps?
>What happens when the validation at work ends?
It doesn't. There's always another orbiter.
>I didn't beta-orbit.

Listen man, I really hate to be the one to break it down to you this way, but she's either sleeping with you, or she's not. That's it. No if's, and's, or buts (kek). Any "thought" or "feeling" or any galaxy-brain idea you have on the situation doesn't matter. You're only torturing yourself by fretting and obsessing over this woman who's clearly rejected you multiple times already. Believe me, I know the feeling, man. It fucking blows to feel for a woman who don't feel that way back. So it goes. The sooner you just wash your hands clean of it, the better off you'll be, fren
