So here's a recent interaction I had via text message. I'll expand a little after so as not to give you any pre-conceptions;
We are working together on projects(producing) which are unrelated to what we do financially, and have been putting these projects together for a few months;

Me - G wants to see the piece, so whenever your available...
Her - In the flesh? Or he wants to read it?
Me - He wants it read to him, obviously.
Her - With whom?
Me - <Writes my own name>. You may have heard of him.
Her - And a few days ago you were leaving me forever. For the second time.
Me - Must you be so infernally rigid. Sorry I couldn't get a bigger name for your read-through, did you think I was acting as your secretary and planning your life for you?
Her - Well you said you were going to tell G I liked it so he can suggest someone to do it with me. Didn't ask you to...I'm also going to use that piece you suggested to me...you want to be my agent.
Me - Do I? Nah, I just know what you need that's all. Anyway, we could make it third time lucky and then I really would be gone. But for now, we will make do with eachother. Decide when you're free...

We work together and so this entails me having to put quite a bit of professional energy into her. I have to maintain a certain level of availability and pro-activity. Less is more is quite hard to abide by.
She has a L/T boyfriend.
Attraction is a given imo. My gut tells me this, from her reactions and what she's like in general around me. I also know through a mutual acquaintance that she finds me very intriguing, and that she is highly curious about my clout, which is hidden from work we're doing together - i.e, keeps asking what I 'do' for a living. She freaked out a bit a while ago when I said we wouldn't be working together any more(project blocks etc) and got angry with me for being final and wishing her well. I told her to man up
Now, I will admit that I like her alot, but I'm not attached to anything here. She has a B/F and I can't be bothered interfering. My issue is that I'm having the recurring problems of trying to impress. I feel a little unsatisfied with interactions such as this. Am I pushing? I want to just chill back but I keep having to instigate all this work shit, and then I get into these back and forth's with her. It seems as though I'm overdoing it, and veering into arrogance. I haven't had this for a while
Thoughts?
