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)
