after further reflection I have realized I have absolutely no idea what to make of it at all

I passed by her in the hallway on my way to the restroom or to get some water or something, and she mentioned (unprompted, before I said anything to her) she needed a break and was going to head downstairs for lunch later, and so I kind of invited myself when she did go to take that lunch break. She wanted to stay sorta socially distanced so we sat diagonally from each other at a 4 seat table. She led the conversation a lot of the time, asking a decent amount of questions about me. I told her her shirt looked nice at one point which is about the closest I can comfortably get to flirting at all <_< Went on for close to an hour, we went back up to our desks and she thanked me for having lunch with her.

Also at lunch we had talked about how she's in a friend group or club at school or something that's doing a (virtual?) movie night this weekend and it ended up being a movie I wanted to watch. she offered to send me a link and I stupidly said "no that's okay I think it's on HBO so I can watch it on my own" but later she said we could talk about it Monday, so there's that at least I guess.

Stop thinking so much. Just keep going to lunch with her and have fun. Enjoy the moments and gather more data.

Dude, sounds like she likes you. Not only have you had lunch twice(once with her initiating it) but she asked you to join her for a fun activity. Even after declining she invited you to a talk about it later, indicating that she's wanting/expecting to spend more time with you.

You're doing good. Go watch that movie so you can talk with her about it.

Just the once actually, at least just one on one. Two other times with other coworkers.

i didnt read the topic and idk your situation so i wont mansplain you, but in my experience it's easier to h/u with a coworker than a rando. or maybe that's not right, but it's easier to continue h/u'ing with and being friends with coworkers

Couple of things

1. Nice! Sounds like you both are cool with each others company. This means that she isn't the only girl in the world you can get along with, if you can do it once you can do it again

2. Be cautious about getting with coworkers. It has the chance to backfire and you'll be forced into enduring feels and awkwardness every day since you can't always avoid coworkers.

3. If you turn down a fun opportunity, make sure you either suggest something or imply you'd be down for something else.

4. You could even say "...on second thought, can you send me that link? Sounds fun" and it's a good way to meet her friends. Meeting a girls friends is always good thing unless she's psycho.

amateur mistake, never pick a specific time to meet up (especially not on the day of), because then it becomes a binary situation where she either can or can't do it, all it takes is an assignment due date and you're having her say no. no isn't a big deal itself, however what happens then is you're getting her accustomed to saying no to you, the more she says no to you the easier it becomes to say no...you're essentially training her to decline your invitations

it's better to frame it from a more adventurous view point that's more open ended. "hey i remember you saying you loved thai food, i drove by an intriguing looking new thai restaurant yesterday, we should check it out sometime this week"

You plain will never know how it feels to be 'ugly' and untouched by the desired sex well into your 20s

TC, once you break that barrier tho you will be able to really cut loose and go nuts. Just don't go too nuts and turn asexual for a couple years like i did. Unless you want to, I guess

Idk I think eating a platonic lunch with a coworker but secretly comparing it to a date is kinda creepy. Just reminds me of the Duran topic where he was convinced his nurse was into him because she had to work with him then got all stalkery about it

I don't think that was his intent. I think he was just being wistful. IDK, I could be misreading things but I think he was just beating himself up for not having had the opportunity to be in a relationship yet

Im not not sure what the point of this preface is and how it relates to my post.
Because you are literally incapable of processing how TC feels. It would be beyond alien. He's heard all the advice before and he knows what he has to do. He's in a depressive pit, directly resulting from feeling worthless, hugely resulting from no recognition from the opposite sex. Anything you say to him may be coming from a good place, but it'll basically be mansplaining, or the mansplaining equivalent to whatever this situation is

jeffhardyb0yz posted...
attractiveness does help but some confidence can go a long way if youre not in your best attractive state. If tc wants a shot with the girl, he should make a move but I know there is a lot of passivity with people in these scenarios. Just not there yet when it comes to asking a girl out. But unfortunately without taking that risk, these topics delve into CE following the tc for weeks on end as he actively finds himself being passive and goes deeper and deeper into the friendzone with no real advancement with the girl.

He knows all this and has heard it. I think before trying to connect with people he should lose some weight and flip the script. Wardrobe, hair, everything. Even when I wanted to continue being a bitter asshole, I couldn't. I felt good, people told me I looked good. I think he needs to start there, but I hate coming off as overbearing so I'm just here trying to play support lol

It sounds like she's just being friendly. I would keep being her friend and be cool with that, use this as a way to gain experience around women. It doesn't seem like you have much of it, not roasting just an observation.

He's had lunch with her twice and you're now comparing him to a stalker? That's a hell of a leap lol.

Okay so, assuming you're being serious, you're being way too hard on yourself. There's no way of knowing it's she wants to date you, but at the very least she enjoys your company. For that second lunch, she was basically inviting you. A friend at my office does that to me all the time. Trust me, if she didn't want you to go with her, she would avoid mentioning it to you.

Ever see that pic of a grave, and it's says something like "Where I am, you will be. Where you are, I once was." It's like that. We're on the same path, I'm just further along. The past year or so I've tried to reel myself in and stop posting negative things like you're saying. I was just beating myself up for no reason, I still struggle with that, but it's a good change to make. I just don't want to see like me in 10 years.
