We (A and I) were colleagues until I left the company. Talked on and off but convos were more safe topics (work, interests outside work) so we barely got to know one another that well.

Before I left, I did mention that I'd like to "get to know you better" and "keep in touch", and also subtly asked A out but A might have interpreted it as a friendly hang out, which I do not mind as I prefer taking things slow. A agreed and showed positive signs though it might just be courtesy.

Fast forward couple of weeks and learnt from ex-colleagues that A is leaving as well and would be going abroad for postgraduate studies soon.

Should I still think of pursuing further? (try to ask A out before A leaves MY)

A = Azman I = Ismail? Harooooommmm!

well... if it's a LDR, then you have to really think thru. 2ndly your relationship with "her" isn't that strong bond either. Anything can happen in between. good luck

post grad studies i think is 1 year...

and the foundation between you and her not that strong, most likely ended up with both of you havent together but she already fly off...

I think the best way would be stay in touch with her... on and off text her abit then see how it goes ( at the same time try explore for other woman ), it is good for both of you really.. LDR is not fun.

Of course, piap her before she leaves

Girl agreeing to go out with you is a very good sign, it is a good start and try to move things fast before the time limit.

I did just that few years ago, got her to bed after about 1 or 2 months after things worked out very well. Then she went for her postgraduate study. Once she is there, things took a turn for the worse. She is gradually getting less and less involved in maintaining the connection, people said LDR has a very high failure rate, it is true, it is not even your fault sometimes, you are doing your best to maintain it but the other party is not doing their part.

When she got back from oversea, the vibe isn't there anymore for us to continue.
The real sweet times are before she leave, I enjoyed every last bit of that, anything after that is just pure nightmare.

I would say, just go ahead, do what you want, and have fun.
She will be oversea anyway, if things end up well, then you had your fun, if it doesn't she will not in MY after that, you won't see her again, nothing to lose.

I'm gonna give a cheesy advice and ask that you just follow your heart. Think about your options, then toss a coin. When you're unhappy with the option tossed at you, you know what to do next.

Likewise, whatever we tell you here as strangers, only serve as your validation to your subconscious choice. What's most important is that you do not regret something you don't do, because you'll most likely think "what if I did that... If only..."; I think it's better to regret something you do, because it serves as a better lesson: "yep bad idea, no more next time".

LDR is difficult and frankly speaking, I tried and I decided no more next time. I know other success stories but I also know it's not for me.

Whatever the outcome, I hope you make the best out of it, good luck!

Just go ahead tell her how you feel about her, it is not giving her stress or whatever, just don't let yourself feel regret about this relationship. Even she didn't accept you, but at least you done what you want to do.

2024 already.

Any progress?
