Okay, so I built a good rapport with a girl at work, let’s call her Jen; we had mutual interests, laughed at each other’s jokes, frequently smiled at each other, eye contact, physical intent, everything you’d want from initial escalation but when a new female colleague (Tracy) started realising I was giving her attention, she started to make things difficult. For example, she’d wait for her every night when going home when she knew me and Jen would leave work together.

I saw the cockblock starting so I made an effort to befriend Tracy. Just general topics, nothing taboo. Big mistake, she ate everything I said and spewed it out like I was a monster. She literally made me uncomfortable talking about the weather LOL. Then one day at work, we were talking about something random and she just started crying out of the blue.

Later I told Jen that Tracy just randomly started crying but you can imagine what side she took. A few days later I saw Tracy in the elevator and she said hi to me with a smirk. She never said hi to me before. After that, Jen began to cold shoulder me and they started to spend more time together. I’m now sitting here with my dick in my hand and scratching my head with the other.

Backstory, Tracy is a Psych major and very aware of her surroundings. The girls at work all flock to her as she has a neutral voice, calming and she regularly shoulders them if they have any problems. I’m pretty sure the deal is that she took offence that I was flirting with Jen at work, especially as she just started working here. She’s also quite unattractive, fat, acne, basically a great friend to have as she makes everyone else look more attractive.

What would you guys do in this situation?
 
I don't see the problem here - if you like her and she is showing interest back ask her out out of work otherwise it ain't going anywhere anyway (trust me I learnt that one from experience).

Alternatively

bang tracey
 
I don't think Jen wants to lose her social status at work, especially with mother hen on the watch. Tracy is a feminazi, any male ego at work and she's there!

I did ask Jen out but she said she's busy on three separate occasions (3 strikes), so I asked what's up but she said nothing. Her body language is totally off now, you can tell when a girl isn't into you anymore.

Basically, my game is weak and I'm out of my depth. It's not like Jen is super outgoing, she's shy and quiet and doesn't like attention.

I even asked my boss to fire Tracy as my boss is like my mum, but she just joked she'll cut her hours. :p

I guess I'm making Tracy out as a scapegoat and I should just give up.
 
Just dispense with being nice to her and don't take any ****, she'll stop being a bitch when you stop letting her
 
This is what it was like it school when you liked a girl. Man up and ask her out for drinks or dinner. If she says no, move on and find another. Not worth worrying about.
 
Amateurs, Jen has asked (read begged) Tracey to not leave her alone with office pest...

Pretty much this.

Sometimes you just have to get **** off your chest.

Cheers everyone.
