[spoilers] Harry and Ruth Strike Back

[SPOOK91]

Personally I don't think that Harry would have asked Ruth out had Juliet not intervened, like you said Silktie, he was unsure about her feelings towards him, and him being flat out rejected by him would have effected their working relationship as well as their personal relationship. I think he probably had a good idea about her feelings but possibly thought that she didn't feel as strongly for him as he did for her. After 3.9 and the little smirk he has after her pacing comment I think he has the idea that she most probably fancies him. I'm sure something to that effect was said on the commentry for that episode for that matter.
