i think youre correct, but i also dont really get your logic. i have considered asking her whether shes ok, but then i saw that she clearly wants to be left alone. isnt it best to do that? if my guy friends, that arent that close, signal to me to leave them alone, i would definitely just leave them alone.
The problem with you is the bolded part.
You
overthink, and make
assumptions.
Do you
KNOW she wanted to be left alone? You don't. You assumed. Which is convenient, because it means you have an excuse for your cowardice.
If you sat with her and she actually told you to leave, then that is a different story.

these are my expectations la, for me if i dont want to talk to ppl, then ppl keep wanting to talk to me, i would be even more angry. if i was just sitting alone, feeling unhappy, then suddenly someone i barely talk to come up, sit in front, i will find them annoying, and in the future i will actually avoid this person to avoid their prying.
^ once again, all your assumptions in your head. Nothing based in reality.
QUOTE
but i think i get the point la, im going to ask her whether shes free for lunch the next week, excuse being that i want some senior career advice. or something else is better?
FFS, you still haven't gotten the point.

Ask her out.
That's it. No excuses. No pre-text.
Just a simple intent of "Hey I like you, and want to show you a good time".
Grow a f`king pair of balls and take ownership of your interest and passion.
