Im 23 years old and i like this girl in my office, she is this funny, goofy and smart, honestly it wasn't love at first sight. Slowly we started talking and i have started to have feelings for her, i don't care about her flaws and i don't even bother to judge her, i like her without any specific reason.. i just have this thought that i can take care of her so much..
when i asked her about how she feels about the people here, she told me she thinks everything here are temporary, and she doesn't feel attached to anyone except for few friends (me included).
She told me her college friends are her life and she wouldn't be what she is without them, she is very close to them like family,. but my concern is that i want to be like that to her, i want to be something more than friends, but i think she doesn't feel that much.. i know college friends make you what you are,. but it so happened that i met her here, in office, after college.
i indeed want to meet her friends and be close to them, but the possibility of that is so less
i honestly want her to be happy no matter what, but if she chose me i'd make sure that i take care of her like no one has, i would encourage and be a part of her dreams and work to make that come true..
its just so hard for me to express my feelings to her,

somethings she had told me at the beginning:
she doesn't like her friends proposing to her, she hasn't accepted any, and doesn't like to be in a relationship.. with all this how can a man express his feelings?, the moment i do, im out of her life... why did it ever happen to meet her in the first place..

Have you gone out on a date? Ask her for dinner.

You must start acting like a man who can take care of a young woman.

@PUNKEY,
a date? that's out of the question, idk if she would even accept, plus her parents are strict on these things, btw she tells everything to her friends and her mom, i mean everything

@suman555,
Your college friends don't make you who you are. I have no idea where you heard that. It's not true.

Lots of things make us who we are. Friends of any time frame are only a part of that.

That having been said, I will tell you what I just told someone else here - dating someone at work is generally a poor idea. If the relationship ends, it can poison your working environment.

But there's nothing wrong with being friends or even good, close friends - and dating once one of you moves onto another company.

So be friends. And do what friends do, which is everything from going to lunch together to making sure she gets home safe at night.

Don't blurt out feelings. Don't propose ... anything.

Just be friends. Get a feel for who she is as a person. You may find you're still interested. You may find she's not worth the bother.

Oh, and one more thing. I realize this is probably India and the culture is different, but it really bugs me when the concept behind caring for someone is so tightly wrapped up with something like, "i can take care of her".

She's an adult and she's got a job. She doesn't need care like an infant does. If you are going to ever ask her out, then you are going to need to respect her independence.
