I'm on the ML side. Its frustrating to have an ambiguous relationship with someone you love and not sure where all of this is going. They do need a break.
I feel her I hate situations where it's hard to say no or you have other plans when you said earlier you didn't have any She's too nice
You can tell he like her from the start and im pretty sure he said all that thing about not wanting a relationship just cuz she said at first she wouldn't date a man like him. She's definitely gonna get a change of heart soon.
Also the other guy that work with her, is gonna make things even more awkward between them.
