I remember one of my managers at my old job had a FAT ass and flirted with everyone. Sent me iois aswell, but I know it's because women love to feel wanted and attractive. This is sidebar info, I remember reading to avoid those kinds of women in the workplace.

Actually maybe I believe the best, but I want to believe that she likes you. She just shows it strangely

This happens all the time. She wants you to chase her, for her own selfish reasons (validation at best, at worst, she might try to twist it into some sort of drama, where she can claim that you were being inappropriate).

This happens a lot in the work place. I can recall one single milf that used to come by my desk all the time, and sit on my desk while talking to me, fling her hair around, play with her necklace. And then everyone would say, wow - you're really into her aren't you? It always gets twisted into the guy is chasing the woman.

It used to be that married couples either met each other at university or at teh work place. But men are getting more and more wary of meeting women at the workplace, which means that women are stepping up their provoke game. They keep trying to provoke men into chasing them, regardless of whether they want to actually have any kind of a relationship. What they really want is your attention.

You gave her her shot.

Either you move on or if she's worth the extra effort give her a second one (explicit invitation).

After that move on for good.

I had a chick at work fuck me and then shortly after use me as a reference for a promotion.

Women trickle attention to men in order to keep them in orbit.

If you're not getting what you want, leave her life.

Do girls give IOIs to guys they are not attracted to?

Oh hell yes.

Girls flirt and give IOI's to get attention, validation, money, resources, social status, and of course.... attention. I said it twice for a reason.

She did see that I don't give her any attention, and asked me two times If I am mad at her. I dodged the question. Nevertheless, she is still trying to flirt with me.

God I hate that shit. You escalate, it doesn't work, you ignore them and the try to get you back and demand to know why you're mad at them....... because you're a crazy duplicitous lieing bitch, that's why.

So why is she still giving me this much attention? Is she messing with me, or is it possible that she is indeed attracted to me?

Honestly, I don't fully get it either. She might like you and expect you to reschedule after SHE cancels (women are stupid like this).

Point is this: she isn't playing by your rules so NEXT.

OR..... another plan........ flirt back really hard but don't escalate to ever asking her out again.

Here's what I've learned: girls who behave like this....... flirting and then cancel on you or whatever..... it never works out well even if you do date them for a short time.

PS It sounds like control. If you don't fall into being a good little orbiter like the others then she flirts until you do. With other guys she probably doesn't need to. With you she needs to put a bit of work in to get you into her orbit. When you ignore her she tries harder. Doesn't mean she wants to fuck you though.
