[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.

There's nothing wrong with putting that ahead of things, but don't forget that you should have some fun too.[Anonymous Text forever]
I obviously don't have that here. So I'm pursuing what I can, I suppose. I just don't know what to do with this.

Hmmm... It's certainly a troublesome subject. As much as I hang around girls, it's tough to grasp how they think sometimes.[Anonymous Text forever]
Sometimes I think they like it that way, I must admit.

Puzzles are fun and adventurous at least! I think girls are different when it comes to that.
Hah? You really think so? I know one of my friends is extremely forward toward another one of mine. If only they came with an instruction manual or something.
