I strangely feel like hurting Raydeus.

I see nothing strange here.

Ok new peeve, females who fake tan or tan until their skin is char-broiled. I'm naturally pale but I just had a customer with an open low cut button up shirt try to talk to me and It looked like she was in the damn microwave. How do people do this and expects it to be attractive when you can see the damn tan lines and the now damaged pigments in their skin. It's incredibly disgusting if it's near the chest. Someone else dislike this?

Yup that is what I saw Ray.

I dreamed I was building a new computer last night. I think my subconscious is trying to tell me something.

I know that dream.

Except I didn't know well enough about components until three weeks ago, so it was mostly me just staring at a case and banging it with a keyboard.

At least, that's how it should have went...

Sooooo question.

Guy I like. Interested in me sexually (this I know for a fact, he has told me this, I will spare all the details, just trust me). Seems to enjoy talking to me, as he texts me and calls me on the regular. On the phone today, though, said, "You're my friend, so I ..." (basically talking about how work sucks and my boss is a bitch, and he's more than happy to let me bitch about it).

Friend zone or no? I'm inclined to think that based on previous evidence (and yes, I am hyper-analytical, I can't help it), he does like me and is interested, considering he actually picks up the phone and calls me instead of trying to have any sort of relationship via text as I've previously had, however, the very phrase, "You're my friend," has me all weird.

Reading into it too much? Someone who is a guy and understands guy speak translate. You'd think by now I'd understand this crap and just let it go, but I will never go a day in my life without over-analyzing everything I suppose. :/

Reading into it too much. Just ask him to his face. The question "What are we?" is blunt... and effective. If he says "just friends" you can save yourelf a lot of crap before it even starts... and if he says "A couple" then you have your answer and you don't need to worry about it anymore.

Either way... don't let it go much further... just ask him and get it over with.

What Yyg said. I mean, you can be friends with someone you're sexually interested in. But the simple solution is to just ask "Hey, what's going on with us. Anything?" and then you have a clear answer and can move on one way or the other.

Re: Official Bored at Work / Off-Topic Chat Thread II

Personally, when I say "since we're friends," "you're my friend so..." it's because I'm interested in the person romantically. I never go up to my girlfriends and say, "you're my friend so I can tell you." I just tell them without the aforementioned line because they are my friends. Usually say "since we're friends blarblarblar" before something to make it seem like I have no interest and don't want to scare them off.

Make sense at all? Could be what's going on there.





I'm under Murphie. <grin>




In other news, in regards to posts I missed about group sex, you two must not be in the same camp I am. Maybe I'm just too deep in the gay sex scene. Pun not intended.

Too Complicated. Ignore Etra's advice. Just ask the dude and be done with it. There's no harm in asking.

That wasn't advice. That was just me saying what I personally do to avoid the other person thinking I like them. ;p

Re: Official Bored at Work / Off-Topic Chat Thread II

It sounds like Etra likes giving mixed signals, which is a terrible terrible thing to do.

I'm going with Yyg and Murph on this. If you want an answer, ask him directly.
