Are you familiar with the term 'Friend zone', as in 'It looks like she may be friend zoning you'? ie, she does like you but only as a friend, which basically translates to she doesn't fancy you but doesn't want to tell you straight in case she hurts your feelings.0

Not responding at "night" suggests to me that she has a life away from work which includes other people (possibly a boyfriend) which she doesn't want to share with you.
There will be other good people for you to meet.
The wording that the OP has used may be innocent but I find both terms disturbing.0 -
"Chase" was in common use by adults when I was a child in London to describe one person showing a romantic interest, flirting etc with another.But hopefully not 'chase' or 'pursue'.

OK.
So how long ago was it when you were a child in London?
Did you 'chase' any person who you were interested in?
And do you think 'chase' and 'pursue' are appropriate terms in this day and age?0 -

Not to me.Oh come on ... who is hounding who now? .... I think it is very clear the intentions were not sinister
I will reiterate:
It may be the OP's style of wording.Reference to 'chasing' and 'pursuing' her are very wrong.
But I don't know that.
And neither do you.
I would not like to think anyone thinks it appropriate to 'chase' or 'pursue' anyone simply because they don't reply to texts.
And I'm not the only poster to think that:Give her a break.
Not sure where your from but chasing a girl is frowned upon in my book.

If you've ever fallen victim to a creeper who just doesn't understand "no", then I think you would not make that assumption.
Reads sinister to me. Who badgers coworkers with texts at home?2021 GC £1365.71/ £24000
