I sincerely thank you guys for your comments, I value them.

You were supposed to keep getting her aroused. Now you fucked up. Not going for it is WORSE than going for it and not getting it

Any number of reasons. Might even just be cold feet about coworker dating or dating in general if she is actually at 0 count. The reasoning doesn't matter much unless you actively fucked something up. Analyzing and rationalizing the decisions of an emotional being will waste your bandwidth.

Sometimes it just isn't meant to continue, anything can be an "ick" in 2024. Unless you caused it, probably best not to dwell on it, overused but there are way too many fish in the sea to get overly attached if she isn't chasing you first.

maybe she's mad that you didn't push past through her LMR. maybe she's tired of being a virgin because she's a whore at heart. maybe all she wanted was to get railed senseless like in the Hub videos she's been watching. maybe her good girl behavior is just a front, and you acting like relationship material and not a chad that would pump and dump her dried the pussy up.

ultimately - who cares? it'd be fun and maybe beneficial to know the truth, but you don't have time for that, because you've got your own goals to accomplish (start a serious relationship) and she clearly won't help you achieve them.

So you puked relationship diarrhea and wonder why she triggered her ASD while escalating. On top of that, you went all push no pull and she got LMR. In situations like that, do 2 steps forward, 1 backwards, rinse repeat. If that doesn't work, do the freezeout.

Lmaoo at bodycount 0. She probably wanted to get railed like a slut, but you stepped on your own dick. Live and learn, also read the sidebar.

This needs to be asked in askTRP next time

"I'm tired of meaningless sex"

*Proceeds to try to escalate to meaningless sex*

Yeah, no wonder she got really defensive. You should have just escalated. Men do, women talk. Don't invent random obstacles in their minds for them to overcome

First off, your English is fine. Its impressive.

There is always a complicated background to our decisions here you have a lot of variables that we just can't unpack -your past, her past, your work relationship, future hopes, other guys in the frame?? hormonal cycle... no one can say. All you can say is she said no that night. However she clearly had thought about the idea a lot. She obviously likes you but isn't sure if she likes you enough. You could play the slow game or next. I think those are the only sensible options with a work colleague like that.

I think a good thing to unpack is you didn't mess up and chase her when she retreated. You didn't dive in rashly. You did well in the situation but not all things come out simple.

My bet is that she is mad you thought you could get to sex her without investment.
It doesn't matter if you stopped gentlemanly on a 27yo woman (not young just saying), she will think you think she is easy. Women hate being considered easy, so it's all a shit game of making them believe what they whish while getting the sex you want.

I bet that if you send her a nice bouquet of fresh flowers she will start talking to you again, proving my point.
