Maybe she thinks you're cute and is interested. Or maybe she's imaginary...

I don't think she's a hired gun or trying to make friends. She followed me into the copy room and to the printer in an aggressive way. I guess it sounds like paranoia. And we'll see if I see her again. Thanks everyone.

Maybe she wants to make friends but is having a hard time starting a conversation? If that's the case, it sounds a little awkward teen romance-y, but I moved to this area almost two years ago and have found it hard to make friends... maybe she's trying to connect with you but then draws a blank when it comes to introducing herself or a conversation. Nice day, isn't it? Blah.

maybe she's a hired gun (downsizing consultant) sent in to see who is actually a valuable employee and who should be given a pink slip. not joking.

I think it's nothing - you are just being paranoid.

Most people usually leave as soon as someone else comes in but when she saw me, she stood at the mirror for a second and then seemed to be trying to decide whether to go to the sinks or stalls. Sounds paranoid but it was almost like went to the sinks to see what I was doing. I know there are plausible explanations for her behavior but something about the way she acted was not normal. What do you think?


If you are a man, you need to get out of the lady's room you are sending mixed signals
