Good evening all,
So one of my jobs involve teaching kids. And parents, usually mothers, bring them over. I noticed that one of the single mothers was attractive, but I thought nothing more of it. Work was work and at the time, I believed in separating lust/romance and work.
The pandemic caused the place to shut down for six months but reopened last September. The mother and I crossed paths again and for some reason, I ended up infatuated with her. She was pretty immersed in our conversations, we had heavy eye contact flirting at times, and she gave me a handmade gift right before the place closed for Christmas break.
I took those actions as signs of interest. A second office was finished being constructed by early February, offering a way to seclude us so I can make a proposition. I proposed to be "more than platonic" but she said she'd rather be friends. I took the rejection in stride and interacted with her as if it didn't happen in the following days.
Part of me felt like I took too long to make a move but another part of me felt like I may have mistaken her friendliness for signs of interest.
I'll provide more clarity if needed upon request.
