Rightio!
So, a fair while back, I used to work with this girl. We were good friends, and became very much attracted to each other over the course of working together. However, we were both in relationships with people at the time, so nothing came of it while we were working together. Both of our relationships had been on the way out before we spoke about our mutual attraction, but it was a difficult thing for both of us to leave our respective partners for reasons I'm not comfortable talking about here.
Anyway, eventually both of us became single. After a bit of time had passed (we'd been friends all the while), I thought I'd go about asking her out as slightly more than friends, or at least on a one-to-one basis. I have done this a fair few times, and she always says she's too busy that day/night, and didn't get back to me when I ask her for a better time. After a while of this, I asked if she was avoiding me for some reason, and she said no, she was just busy and forgetful. I left it at that, and just went back to business as usual for a few weeks.
Now even when I try to organise less romantic stuff, more along the lines of what you normally do with your friends, it's the same- she's always too busy, doesn't reply with a better time, etc. And yet she finds the time to go to the pub with mutual friends of ours she professes to not even like that much. On top of this, the one or two times we have been out in the past couple of months, I get the impression that she's still interested in me. I also get the impression she's a bit jealous of this other girl who has asked me out a few times.
Basically I'm pretty thoroughly confused. I've kinda given up on the romantic notions with her. I don't really want to ask her a second time if there's some reason she's avoiding me, but I still would like to keep her as a friend, at the least.
Advice?
