    Nah I get you. It isn't easy to reject those who have no interest in you, due to the negativity that usually follows. Yes we did go on one date, however one of my downfalls is that when I develop feelings for someone new, I begin to over-analyze everything start making negative predictions before they even occur. And that has dragged down my confidence level in dating situations.

    Yeah, I know how that goes. I feel bitter and hurt when women I like don't show interest in me, despite my obvious interest in them, then I remember all the times I have friend-zoned women who I am not really interested in, even being outright accused of friend-zoning them to my face. So yeah, it does go both ways.

    "I'd just like to avoid the friend zone if possible." Why? Become good friends and don't be needy. If a relationship developes, good. If

    not, you'll still make a friend. Relax and as ?? said--"be here now."

    obviously i don't know anything about the situation, but it seems like this could have easily been a mistake by HR or whoever is in charge of payroll, rather than something done by your supervisor.

    but, i assume there's other issues as well, or she would probably not show up ranting about him.

    probably because being just friends with someone who you want more with is one of life's most depressing situations. it's easy to make friends, why make friends with someone whose friendship will make you miserable?

    Just saying, "You know, I really like you," is almost always welcome. Saying it with flowers, especially if you picked them (not bought them) is really nicer. You may get married and live happily ever after. Or maybe you'll just get a smile - that's nice, too.

    Nineteenth century novelists used to get an extra hundred pages because he and she were too shy to say it. (Great Expectations, for men, Pride and Prejudice, for women.)

    But please don't say it to someone you've never talked to. If all you know is what a person looks like...

    I'm late to this conversation.
    Glad to hear she liked the flowers.

    I thought it was very sweet; especially since you picked them.

    I would have been creeped out by a dozen red roses, too. Save those for a special event. I'm not a fan of red roses though. I prefer different colored roses.

    I would tell her there was once a time when people gave flowers readily for all kinds of occasions, even holidays. Giving flowers to someone you know can be spontaneous without indicating a need to jump into bed. It's weird these days how so many are focused only on point A and B and not the journey between them.

    Flowers are kind of a pain to receive....first of all, they are dead....and second of all, I have to work to cut bottoms of stems and find a vase , etc........ a little wildflower here or there is fine.......I do like gardenias sometimes, as the smell is out of this world for them...as well as peonies.....but I leave the peonies that grow here alone, unless the stem broke, and then I bring one in.......My cats or dogs can break the stems some times...gardenias do not grow here, so they always have to be ordered.......once in a blue moon.
