[It's quite frankly surprising how many questions and things regarding relationships tend to come out once there's no accountability attached; Descole's been watching this go down for the last two days, and kind of hating himself for the fact that he isn't immune to it.
He hates text, normally; he doesn't like the lack of tone involved, and he doesn't like being unable to read faces or gestures, either. However, in the spirit of anonymity...]
Since no one can tell who we are over this thing for the time being anyway, I suppose I'll bite. Forgive me for using this as a space for venting my own personal issues, but we all seem to like discussing feelings here, anyway.
[NOT. THAT. HE'S BITTER OR FEELING DUMB ABOUT THIS OR ANYTHING.]
How does one tell the difference between someone being interested, in the romantic sense, and someone being interested in you platonically?
And just to head a few sarcastic individuals off - yes, I know that I sound like I've lived under a rock since puberty hit. There's a reason this is being done now.

Besides, you haven't answered my question!

We had many reasons to dislike each other in the past. Believe me, it would be a valid assumption; it has nothing to do with confidence.

Mr. Anonymous.

this forever tbh]
Do you accept "I don't know" as an answer? Because believe me, if I search my soul any deeper it'll turn inside-out and I'll lose the contents, and then where would I be.

You...have been searching your soul for the answer to this question?

My friend, truly it is an excellent thing that you took to the network with this! Do not worry, and do not fear your feelings for this girl! It is clear to me that she has a deep affection for you and desires to purchase numerous cups of tea for you in the future!

I also may have tried to kill her once or twice.

I certainly hope you don't intend to attempt to murder her again!!

Do you have any actually useful advice, or should I shut this off now and spare us both some time?
no subject
Provided you intend to act gentlemanly towards her!
