I don’t think it’s wise to treat people you’re romantically interested the exact same you would any other person. That’s how I got into this mess, to be honest. I actually feel like if I were more upfront about it I now wouldn’t have made this post here.

stop treating women differently from men

True and I never have otherwise. But you should absolutely treat people you like differently, at least in the way of what you want with them.

Where am I supposed to get a hamster wheel??

Also, I feel like at that last stage we may as well just remain friends.

“that’s all fine but I genuinely begin to develop feelings for her” and “I just don’t really care all that much for a friendship”.

Okay I may have not worded it very well there. What I mean is that I don’t want to be in this “friendzone” any more. I really don’t and I don’t see myself being happy remaining as such.

It’s nothing about her not being good enough. It’s my own feelings that are in the way.

I never said I didn’t like her. It’s quite the opposite.

The problem is that I want more than friendship. It just leaves too much to be desired.

Before we all die in WW3 I’d just like to say: It’s “Oh for fuck’s sake.”

Well, shit.

He should shave his beard and get a slick back.

I mean, what sort of a psychopath do you have to be to give a single fuck about working in manufacturing?

is being yourself, not artificially bending towards what you think will look attractive.

If I’m understanding you correctly. Those things aren’t necessarily exclusive to each other in my opinion. I am constantly thinking of something funny to say because I like saying funny or flirtatious things. And you can learn these things, yet still hold true to oneself.

as a customer?

No, no, as her supervisor.

Must a be one hell of a coffee.

And how’s that going for ya?

What are you doing?

Never buying anything at all from Amazon, ever. This Amazon Boycott ain’t got shit on me, cuz.

Ooooooh 7 whole days??? That’ll teach 'em. What is this, Whale Wars?

Safe from what?

Safe from making someone uncomfortable?

And who says it’s important?

According to folks over at my previous posts. (Though they also emphasised communication)

I think, I’m somewhere in the middle of all that. I’m fine with flirting, I’m more or less indifferent about it (I like it if she responds well to it). But if it wasn’t as important as people say it is, I don’t think I would do it, just to be safe.

But I’m not in a relationship?

Thank you! That was very thorough and clear.
