As per the kindly recommendations of the folks here I've since charged on forward and asked her out to an after work dinner. Nothing expensive, just tasty ethnic food near our workplace that she was interested in trying after I mentioned it. I figured a short meal would allow us to at least have a conversation rather than the 5 minutes after yoga last time.

The problem is I asked her out 14 days ago and this date has yet to materialize.

She has never once said she doesn't want to go, but every day or range of days I've asked about has been met with some other previous engagement. These have ranged from meeting her mother to girl's night out. After the first 5 days I let her carry the scheduling ball as she said she would "let me know". Four days later she said that week was hectic and maybe we should try the next week. After 5 more days I hadn't heard from her, so I queried about this coming Friday, which is again a no go. Obviously, I don't count 2-3 days a couple weekends ago as she was sick with something minor (laryngitis). She was completely better by the following Monday.

We bump into each other at work once a day or so, and our interactions are unchanged from previous. Perhaps a bit more engaging than before, even. This is exceedingly confusing, because at work she gives me the impression that she's happy to see me and wants to talk with me, but outside work we just can't seem to meet.

Am I doing something I shouldn't, or not doing something I should? I don't generally text her back and forth on topics, since if I have something to say to her I just find her at work. The impression I have from reading other posts is texting should be a means to in-person meetings, not so much a place to chat until the relationship is off the ground.

I have my own things to do as well, so I'm not sitting around waiting for her, but this is giving me the impression that she's no longer interested. Is my impression correct? It seems to me that if she was actually interested she'd be working with me to make a date happen. Am I too impatient?
<bot>: Asked her out 2 weeks ago, she hasn't said no but is always too busy to go out. Still showing interest on a regular basis though.
