I really like her, but I don’t know if she feels the same way.

Hey everyone, I met this girl about a month or so back through work. The people I work with knew I liked her, one of them had told me she said that I was cute. I’d say about a week after that I asked for her instagram and after that we’ve been talking here and there, not as often as I’d want but I don’t want it to seem like I’m bothering her or being pushy.

Before she left I invited her to a Halloween party I had coming up, the party has passed and she showed up. I was super nervous talking to her though and I regret that I didn’t talk to her more. We did text each other over the last few days after the party but I feel like it was because I was fighting to keep the conversation going. And in a sense, still bothering her. Convo came to an end last night, she had liked my last message and I haven’t heard from her.

I could really use some advice moving forward. And maybe a reality check. I was in a long term relationship that ended about a year ago so I’ve been out of the game for a little while. Since then, I’ve have a history of talking to girls and then they lose interest. I don’t want that to be the case with this girl, but I can’t help but think that it’s happening again. should I text her again? Should I wait to see if she initiates a conversation next time? Part of me just wants to tell her how and I feel and just rip off the bandaid no matter the outcome. I’m turning to Reddit because I would like some outside perspectives and the people in my life are telling me all the same. Any and all feedback is welcome, please help me.
