You're probably a great guy, but imagine yourself in their shoes and for whatever reason, you're not looking for a relationship. It is easier to never return the call and delude yourself that they're just trying to make good friends with you. I try to not to muck women around, but sometimes I'll avoid the deed for a while before I have to say 'no'. It's just easier!
I wouldn't get too disheartened about your workmate, some people have very strong views about not getting involved with other people in the workplace, which is a sensible idea in this cutthroat age! Keep looking, the next phone number could be a winner.
(By the way, first post, really enjoying the ambiance of these forums!)
