I (25M) think I already know the answer to this but I don't want to accept it. In January I ran into a woman (25f) at a fast food/convince store I frequent for lunch. At the time I acknowledged she was pretty in my head and went about it but one day she smiled at me and I got butterflies. After that I chated with her a bit and attempted to ask her out and got a non committal answer I took as a soft rejection and moved on. I still talked to her and tried to be freindly because I didn't want to be that dude.

Anyways fast forward this weekend and I stopped there because it happened to be omw to an event with a freind this past weekend and she happened to be working. I wasn't expecting anything but she asked to hang out as she was going on break I said sure and told my buddy (who knew I had been crushing on her) to gimme 10. The awesome wing man he is he said go for it and so I went and hung for a bit. We talked and it was awkward and anxiety inducing but cool thing is I walked away with her number. Since we haven't really texted but when I saw her at work it was much easier to talk to her, I even asked her if she wanted a rain check for when she asked me to hang since I bailed so quickly and she was non committal again. When I'm not talking to her though I get so much anxiety about the situation, enough that even for me I would call it abnormal. Like go hide in a hole levels of anxiety. I feel like I should just drop it and try to keep doing what I was doing (ie moving on) but I kinda don't want to.

Advice would be nice
