Well thanks to everyone who wrote back with advice. S is quite cosmopolitan and modern thinking and I don't think she's too traditional in her outlook (or rather: understands and accepts that she's in a different culture). I was more curious as to whether I had committed a major faux pas by asking her out when I'm a colleague. We chatted earlier today and she seems to be fine although she's giving me more quick glances than before - maybe she's a bit unsure and not saying. However, there's no way to tell what's on a Pinay's mind if she doesn't want to talk about it! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif[/img]
I would like to ask her out again, but it just seems inappropriate esp. as the only time we get to talk is at work. I guess I will just have to take this one as experience and begin elsewhere. I don't have a problem getting dates at all (I have a good job, I'm attractive, sociable, funny, not a complete idiot though I'm not a wimp, faithful, etc) but S seems so different to anyone else I've ever met (and I work with folk from around the world). Real shame as we got on so well and had lots in common and I've never felt like I could trust anyone as much as her.
Thanks again and the best to you all.
