[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.

If you really want an answer, maybe give her a call and take her out for tea! Then you can really analyse how she acts around you, and see if you can get any hints!
I hope things work out for you, anyway; I'd be interested in finding out if they do! You don't have to give me your name but mine is Emmy Altava; send me a text sometime!

Even if I don't end up contacting you again - we'll see how it goes - I do appreciate the advice.
