And also the "we're already pals and if I ask her out and she say's 'no' things will get irrevocably wierd" sentiment.
Yikes, the one way express to awkwardville.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Yeah. So you just hang out hoping one day you'll simultaneously hear that little "click" noise.

Yikes meara. Well, we have already closed on the new house and I am not that I have to be at the closing as the seller.
Just got good news from the movers, my load to storage weighed in 400 lbs lighter than they estimated. The moving bill may turn out to be cheaper than quoted. He may come back out to re-calc before the move.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I'm bored, and I ran out of internets.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
This. For fuck's sake, this. In general, the action women are most likely to interpret as wanting to date them is asking them if they want to go on a date.
But see, then if we didn't want to we might say no, whereas if they just do things for us, we'll feel like we have to.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
late to the woot party, but
TOM GOT A JOB OFFER IN NEW ORLEANS
WOOT!
So, how bad an idea is it to put up a listing on Craigslist to sell my house at below market prices so we are finished with all that?
I got my house off a Craiglist post, so it isn't totally unreasonable.
If a guy friend offered to help me paint my apartment or something like that, it would never occur to me to interpret it as him wanting to date me.
I'm starting to suspect that anytime a guy offers *anything* to me, no matter how innocuous or non-sexy, unless he's trying to sell me something, I should interpret that as "he would like to have sex with me".

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Congrats Tom and Nora!
My folks are spending the weekend here, on their migration north. Therefore, I am finishing up the cleaning. Whee.
