Wojak Mistakes Kindness for Interest

>be me >have a female coworker >not attracted to her at all >find out we live in the same building >it's dark out, so I offer to walk home with her. She accepts >we go home after work a couple times, she did 90% of the talking and it was nice >again, still not interested in her >out of the blue, another coworker tells me that she's lesbian and taken >find out that said coworker told him to tell me >we never walk home again together I'm not mad at her, I'm just confused how she equated walking home together with romantic interest. I thought I was just being kind

A grey Wojak reads a greentext about walking home with a female coworker without romantic interest, only to learn that she is lesbian and taken and had assumed he was interested in her. The joke comes from the awkward mutual misunderstanding and the narrator’s confusion that ordinary kindness was interpreted as flirting. It is shared as a reaction to social awkwardness, miscommunication, or unexpectedly complicated everyday interactions.
