Hey guys, just looking for an outsider's point of view on my attempt to ask one of my former coworkers out.

She would always talk to me and punch me in the shoulder and laugh super hard despite what I was saying not being funny at all, and I was flattered now that I was single and quitting I planned on capitalizing on this because I was interested.

I quit for various reasons and I decided that now that we were not going to be working together to see where this could go. So I hatch my plan to ask her out.

My plan was to finally start ramping up the kino and just be straight up and ask if she wanted to hang out sometime. We saw eachother in the breakroom and I did this weird inside-joke dance move over to her and hit her up with a sidehug while gently squeezing her arm and she seemed super receptive to this which gave me the greenlight to keep it going. So I asked her if she wanted to hang out and she replied with "For sure" In a really positive way and then said "When and what would we do?" So I know she loves food (its obvious because she has gained like 20lbs in the last little bit, but she is still super hot tho) So I replied "I don't know but maybe I should take you out for a nice meal since I know you'd love that" While kinoing her belly and pinching her stomach. After this move she seemed to almost get deflated and quickly left the situation I asked if she was okay and she just replied with a "Yeah I'm fine." I texted her to confirm the date and she said she was sick and I tried to reschedule but she did not reply?

Has anyone else tried to escalate kino to a sensitive part of a woman's body just to get shutdown by her nerves or by being too forward? Should I have just not touched her at all and kept the interaction strictly verbal? Let me know thanks.
