Our deepest insecurities often bubbles to the surface whenever we put our heart out on the line, or wear it on our sleeves for the other party to see (and hopefully not mock or recoil in horror). What you felt is a normal part of the gamut of emotions, especially since it's quite obvious that you're interested in the other party, and therefore have substantially more to lose.

If I were in your position (and thankfully I'm not), I would probably give it a short break before calling or texting or whatever it is you guys do nowadays, the girl again and just chit chat normally.

There's no need to mention about the awkwardness you felt during that movie (unless of course you tried to do something stupid like put your arm around her shoulder or run your hand up her thigh!!!!), and you can focus on making new experiences with her that may leave both of you with more positive feelings.

Good luck!

Excellent to know that you are still carrying on as per normal with life. I obviously can’t speak for every woman, but I know for a fact that my wife would appreciate a man’s ability to carry on with life as per usual in the face of setbacks or adversity.

There are some who would put their lives on hold over a perceived setback in love, and to my wife, that’s a huge turn off. There’s always the question then of how will a man be able to handle important things and make crucial decisions in life, in the face of disaster and calamity, if he can’t even function properly at the first hint of a setback in love.

That’s sexual harassment in my book

Most males of teenage years and some even into their early 20s will find it hard to keep their eyes and hands to themselves… blame biology and hundreds of thousands of years of evolution.

Perhaps, I guess. Things might have changed heaps since my time. My peers all used to say the same thing about their daughters… oh please don’t let karma dictate they (the daughters) end up with a boy like themselves in the past hahahaha

Hahah... sorry bro, I keep thinking you're much younger than me!

But if she don’t like you then GGWP …. Hashtag MeToo and all the feminazi woke shit will be dumped on you

Ah… the man has spoken hahaha.

Indeed. What doesn’t kill you will only make you stronger

Let's hear from TS to see if there's any update on the status?

This is just my interpretation of the situation, as you've described and shared with us... bro, I think you're reading it correctly: that she's not really interested and is just trying to maintain a good/harmonious working/professional relationship.

The fact that you've taken the effort and time to share your thoughts with us is a good sign that you're NOT desperate and NOT trying to see something that isn't there - I reckon the best move forward is to remain professional colleagues, for now, and see where that takes you naturally in the course of work.

Ah, sorry, sorry ... my mistake.

Good luck and keep us posted!

Wow... *furiously taking notes* ... pearls of wisdom right there bro.

But, can I just kaypoh and ask... did you mean the above before you were married, or do you still do the above with your waifu now that you are? (Assuming you're married), or (scandalously so), are you doing the above with fresh fish?

I like your attitude. Divorce is not a death sentence, but can be a fresh start for survivors

Yeah. I feel your pain bro. I feel your pain.

My only consolation is that, should my marriage ever goes irreparably kaput, she has her own wealth and the judge will be sympathetic and merciful hahaha
