I don’t know how to tell you about these feelings but they’re only growing, so I’m going to have to do it sometime soon. We’re friends and also co-workers and I’m worried that if I tell you, you might not feel the same. We have a lot in common and I think you are beautiful inside and out. We’re both pretty good lookin and haven’t had the best luck with the opposite sex recently. I think I could make you happy. —Wish I Knew How to Tell You
This article appears in Nov 15-21, 2012.
Not only should I not help you in any way… I won’t.
Because I can’t.
If you haven’t had much luck with the opposite sex lately just try the same sex for awhile. See that was easy. Any affairs of the heart just ask ol Troodon for advice.
Have fun trying not to be awkward when it all goes south and you’re forced to either quit or see each other every day and be reminded of how they wrong’d you.
you know TF, i think this is same sex posting already. that’s how i read it.
they can’t be any cuter than this….
WARNING… if you’re being visited by ‘aunt flow’ or are in a highly emotional state, be sure to have tissues handy.

highly emotional? aunt flow visiting?
TRY JUST A NORMAL ASS DAY.
I’m having a normal ass day and that made me sob my face off.
Fix your fucking warning.
WARNING…
do not watch while wearing mascara.
that better?
If this is meant for me (which I hope it is) send me an inbox on facebook just saying hello
If you are her (and I hope you are) then please post a link on your timeline about where we work (or just a status update about work) and I will inbox you. OL here. The odds are too small that you are her, small town…but your choice of screen names makes me wonder. And if you are not her, then god luck with your crush! I really don’t want to mess our friendship up as she is a lot of fun. (not a same sex thing btw lol) And as rude as ZzZ was, he/she has a point. Anyway, if she feels the same, it will have been worth the risk. Thanks for reading.
done
It would appear that you are not the girl I wrote this for. But good luck, I hope you two find your way to each other. 🙂
Haha, zZz’s a he/she!
Rude… reality… same difference I guess.
Zed, while rude is often our reality, it really doesn’t have to be–that’s the difference….i wouldn’t call your earlier comment rude tho–i would call it honest (i like that), but jaded (i really don’t like that sucky feeling, but i know what it’s like:P)…….hope it works out for STBC and Ploopy; and i really hope reality is sweet to you today Zedster;)
I hate jaded… reminds me of that annoying aerosmith song…
I’d go with cynical by experience.
Today hasn’t been too bad… I just hope I bowl well tonight.
I think that’s a modest goal for the day but hasn’t been working as well in the recent past.
Hopefully I’m on an up-swing.
‘Cynical by experience’ is most likely more apt–agreed (i say ‘most likely’ only because we don’t know each other)….glad today hasn’t been too crappola…will send you some lebowski vibes this eve Zed…or should i perhaps be calling you ‘El Duderino’, or just ‘Dude’, for brevity’s sake? Either way, lebowski vibes for you, Dude–BIG ones…and i’ll try not to focus on ‘Gutter Balls’;)
Just say it, jesus, just say it!
Zed, being cynical is a shitty way to live, man. I’ve had a lot of relationships in the past, both good and bad. I take them all for learning experiences. I’ve learned that dating a co-worker is not a good idea. BUT she is special.
Your comment:
“Have fun trying not to be awkward when it all goes south and you’re forced to either quit or see each other every day and be reminded of how they wrong’d you.”
Does not really reflect my situation. I wouldn’t be awkward if she wasn’t interested because I’m an adult and a professional. We are friends outside of work but in the work place we are co-workers. I wouldn’t quit my job and if she wasn’t interested and I had to see her every day, I certainly wouldn’t view my situation as one of being “wronged”.
We all face rejection sometimes. It’s scary. But I know we’ll be friends either way. I am going to have to tell her though…any suggestions on how to approach the situation? I think she might be in to me, too – but she is reallly shy about relationships and feelings. I don’t think she’s at all aware about my feelings because I have never persued them. I go on dates frequently with other people but I really think there could be a future between us.
It’s a freakin’ dilemma. Do I risk changing our friendship forever or do I ignore it and wonder if things could have been more?
Don’t ignore it, fer gawd’s sake man! Tell da poor gurl!
Ya said it yerself, “I wouldn’t be awkward if she wasn’t interested because I’m an adult and a professional”. So?! What’s holdin’ ya back boi?!
How went the bowling Zedster–did you eat the bar this time, or did the bar eat you?;)
Ah yes. Dating within the office. THAT’S never gone horribly wrong…
never know, i have plundered my workplaces most of my life for mates. most recent one has lasted 15 years, so i guess we might be an item. it depends on the people involved.
It was a horror show and I’ve just lost 2 pins on my average….
this far in the season, that’s pretty horrible. (think being down 60 pins kinda horrible)
it may be a shitty way to live ploopy… but that’s how she fuckin’ goes.
I hope for the best but plan for the ever-inevitable worst.
BTW, I was basing it on her accepting you, spending months/years together…
and then getting borked in the heart. I’ll wager you’d quit then.
When it happens though, I won’t bother saying I told ya so….
cause it’ll be bad enough as is.
Oh Zed, so sorry the bowling was frustrating….maybe we should have a summit at the alley sometime (secret-agent style:)), so you have some covert moral support along with team support! but you only lost 2 pins on your average, so you couldn’t have bowled that poorly;P…..and yeah Zed, it sucks to face ugly music after years of love and desire, but it isn’t the end of the world, it’s just the end of a chapter, and they don’t all end the same–i know this from very painful personal experience ….cheer up el duderino, for what it’s worth, i think you’re cool AND i adore all of those kitten and puppy links of which you seem to have an endless supply;)
@Ploopy: sorry i missed it earlier where you said STBC was the wrong connect and wished her luck (nice of you to do that). Hope you connect with your person and that it all works out–workplaces aren’t the best place to start relationships a lot of the time, but i am all for true love/real connections, i think that kinda feeling is worth going out on a long, skinny limb for, so good luck;)
You jinxed me on purpose.
🙁
I could never live up to the Dude’s reputation…
Zedster
🙁
i would NEVER jinx you on purpose–not even if i was pissed at you (i may curse at you in my head, or alone in my personal space, but then i would take it all back!!);)……and you already live up to the Dude’s reputation in my head…..reality really can’t be THAT far away;D
I’d just like to state my apologies to my bitching buds. I’ve been… kind of MIA lately, mainly due to the constant fatigue I seem to be suffering. I just haven’t had it in me to check emails/twitter/facebook/LTWWB that much, lately.
I love you all dearly, though!
Summit on Dec 2nd? A brunch to shake things up? Lemmie know what y’all think (and shesang, I owe you one heck of an email! <3)
Someone say “Brunch Summit”?
http://blog.olilolo.com/wp-content/uploads…
No worries Kitteh. You know we loves ya.
yep yep yep, i might have some cookies made by then
I can probably make it, but that weekend is kind of busy for me.
The Captain is available.
God damn it… I was hoping to propose the following weekend before someone brought it up since that whole week is already booked.
I NEED eggs benny… whaddayasay?
I am totally down for the brunch summit!! Dec 2nd sounds awesome–have any of you been to the Victory Arms? It’s the pub in the Lord Nelson–I was there last sun for coffee and juice with my gf who was in town, and it’s a great space and they do brunch/bkfst….i enjoyed it so much i may go for coffe this sunday if i can move my butt outta bed;)
@PK: so glad your feeling better….btw,try getting your b12 checked (bloodwork), if you are tres fatigued…bet it’s low….email me for more info anytime if you like!
@Zed: will bring that Heavey Metal double i put aside for you (the issue is july ’89….tyson and givens are on the back, and a vallejo-esque chick with dragon on the front….the all the art [in and out] is cool….good lil issue….and it has your name on it!!)
yes we’ve been there shesang, it was okay but tough for paul
hey paingirl:) Yeah, you are right–wheelie p is a friend of mine, and the VA is a pretty tight squeeze with a ‘step up’ area…sorry for forgetting about those deets (was excited when i read the thread–i love brunch!!)….anyplace is fine with me, and it’ll be super nice to see paul:)
Shas’la Fio Orgasmatron, are you also Orgasmatron Prime? Apologies if this is a stupid question;P
and agent 195 and nerd man
I am a man of many names, SheSang. I sort of took a page from Col. Ivan’s playbook.
the commander has the most monikers with 195 a close second
It makes no difference to me if it’s the 2nd or the 9th.
Thoughts?
Our usual spot (the last summit location, shesang) has an amazing brunch so we usually congregate there.
So are we doing it the 9th or the 2nd? I’ll likely be hung over either day, so it doesn’t matter to me.
either/or, these are both sundays right?
I’d prefer the 2nd, but probably could swing the 9th….and yes, i think they are both sundays….the last summit location sounds great PK:)
@Shas’la Fio Orgasmatron: cool (both you and Ivan);)
i will definitely have cookies, i need to ship some to the boy and his squeeze
I’ll make it if it’s the 9th.
http://www.thevetgazette.com/storage/funny…
okay the 9th it is, pk is that otay? gives me more time to bake
The 9th works a lot better for me, personally.
well, personally, since i am a person, some persons would like it to be the 9th and personally that works well for this person^^
I’ll try no to get too drunk before brunch…
}:-)
heh heh
is he kidding? is he serious?
heh heh.
Even I won’t know until the morning of.
I am in for the 9th:). Hey Zed, youir kitty link looks just like my first kitty (Shadowman)…at least one of them does;D
SheSang Thanks for the help the other day. 🙂 I hope all is well.
If I’m invited I would love to go to the brunch?I’ve heard a lot about how wonderful Paul smells.I would like to take a wiff for myself.
Of course you’re invited Boru. You’re a Bitch-Bud now. And taking a good snoot full of Eau de Wheelie is good for what ails.
The 2nd… the 9th… the Captain is always available.
Now, If you’ll excuse me, I need to get back to last nights episode of The Walking Dead
