writes:I met a girl a few months ago. Work colleagues (dating is allowed where I work). We exchanged numbers and started talking. She seemed to really like me. One night about a month ago, while out, we kissed. But that was the only time it's happened. She seemed to kinda pull away after that. As in less flirtation. But she still talks to me all the time. Probably more now than ever before. We literally talk every day.Well, about a week ago, she invited me on a trip with her. She's driving to go pick up a puppy she's buying from back home, which is 15 hours away. It's a 4 day trip in which she's going to see her dad and stay with him. I agreed to go with her. My question is what are her intentions? Is this a purely friendship thing? Or did she invite me because she likes me and wants to spend some time with me and maybe have some alone time? What are your thoughts? I really can't read her.

reader, anonymous, writes (7 June 2022): Seems to me she's developing a "work-friend" relationship. She tested it first to see if there was a spark; but it probably wasn't there. If she doesn't have a boyfriend, having a male-friend around is convenient. Somebody to do heavy-lifting or maybe handy-work. Never know when a girl needs a favor. Kisses don't mean anything; especially, if she had a few drinks.
If you have to "wonder" what a woman's intentions are; they have none. They don't have problems expressing their emotions. They may play you along, until they figure-out either how to dump you; or how you might be useful. It's flattering to know you're attractive to somebody; even if you're not attracted to your admirer. Women can be players too, you know!
Sorry sir, but if you live and work in the United States; employers don't have the right to give anybody "permission" to date in the workplace. They may unwisely accept the possible liability of sexual-harassment suits; but labor laws require all employers to provide a safe and non-hostile work-environment; free of people making unwanted advances, or retaliation when those advances are deflected. You knew someone would address the issue of dating in the workplace; and conveniently added your disclaimer. Laxed rules and failure of an employer to implement policies regarding ethics and employee conduct usually put small businesses out of business. Larger companies are required to have sexual-harassment training, and written policies regarding it. People don't always behave; and I don't know any companies that pay people to put them our of business. They'll probably just fire you at the first sign of trouble.
My advice? Put some distance between you! If she was interested in romance, you'd know it.

 Its impossible to say what her intentions are, she may very well like you, but equally she just might want some company for her long trip, and she feels like she knows you well.
I do know one thing though, after the 4 day trip and spending so much time together on the road, I think that the question you are asking in your post will certainly be answered on this time away with her.
Relax, chill out, what ever will be will be, and enjoy the ride.
