So this girl started working at the same place as me early 2017. She is pretty attractive so I tried to spin up the plate early on, she was showing really good signs of interest, but I quickly found out she was dating some chad, so I backed off. (Just to note I had no clue about TRP back then so a lot of the stuff I did was probably counter-productive).

Anyway so I backed off from flirting with her every day, and this made her even more flirtatious. She would text me every day, multiple times a day, about random useless shit. Sometimes I would reply with a few words, but most of the time I would ghost her. She would double text with "Why do you never reply anymore?" and I played the busy card. It was all an attention game on her part.

At some point I got a text from her "Hey do you want to go out for dinner sometime after work?". "Sure what time and where do you want to go?" "I'm not sure, you chose" "Okay how about ***** ?" "Yeah sounds good!" "What day?" About 30 minutes later she texted, "Far out.. that was my friend, she took my phone, sorry duude". I just said "Ok" and left that at that.

Later on at work party in August she was hanging off my arm the whole time, lying on my lap at every opportunity, trying to feel me up with her head. She knew I knew. She was verbally and physically flirting the whole night, but my past impressions of her attention seeking habits made me hamster. (Should have escalated, but I chickened out).

Throughout the year we kept a mostly work oriented, friendly relationship. She never stopped texting me, but she went through a number of chads and every time she was seeing someone, her flirting with me simmered down. By then I had concluded that she was simply trying to make me orbit, and using me as an emotional sponge. I never reciprocated, but she never stopped trying.

Fast forward on to Christmas party, both of us were quite tipsy, she decided she was gonna tackle me and it turned into a full on wrestle. Hands grabbing top and bottom combined with lots of grinding; you get the point. Was going to escalate, but the idea of "don't shit where you eat" made me hamster once again about how she's probably just fishing for attention like always. Do I keep ignoring her flirting as I have been, or should I shit where I eat?

tl:dr:

Chick from work has been flirting with me for a year, both physically and verbally, but at the same time possesses all the signs of a simply attention seeker.

Do I keep ignoring her flirting as I have been, or should I shit where I eat?
