perfectly valid feelings peanut! glad they were unnecessary though!

My friend (who I've had conflicted feelings for)'s little brother likes me, and I didn't realize it because I thought he was jokingly flirting when in fact he was for-real flirting, so now I feel like a jerk. Also that whole thing is kind of strange because it will add another level of awkward to my friend and I.

Oh, and the other friend who I wasn't sure about if he was sending real "I like you" vibes or not actually was. He likes me, but isn't big on the idea of monogamy right now, which I am a-okay with because that's what I want too. I just need to reconcile the fact that that means he is and will be getting with other people and I need to overcome some insecurities and be happy that even though he could basically have anyone he wanted he wants me as well.

ahah I totally have a crush on someone I work with (occasionally, see him like once every few weeks, as most of my job is solo), but I think it may be a friend crush? either way, total babeville

Lol, I get friend crushes sometimes too.

I emailed my crush. :x

My crushes are all sleeping. I still have them, they're just inactive, or ignoring me. Except for one. He's basically professed his undying love for me and is fixing my car for free. The whole "love" thing is a little heavy given everything going on. He said he's patient and will wait.

I don't have any crushes right now and it kind of makes me sad. I wish I did.

You guys, I can't even.

I hope all of you get a crush, or that your current crush works out.

I'm feeling all mushy.

He emailed back! And then I emailed back! And haven't heard anything yet so I'm convinced he's busy humping ladies who are not me.

He's a romantic sort then...

I'makindaworkingonalilsumthin... we'll see... once I feel the crush take effect I'll know we're doomed.

Did I tell y'all about my newest crush? He works at a coffee shop near me and I think he flirts back at me! Argh, it's hard to tell really... But here's to hoping.

Oh man, I just failed big time. Had a perfect opportunity to ask a crush to hang out in a low-pressure way and I BLEW it.

Because I'm chicken shiitake

See? I'm so annoyed with myself I double posted

To be entirely fair, I have no evidence that he spends all his time humping ladies aside from the fact that I would be on that all day. Logically, I'm sure he's very busy with work, because he's a busy dude.

I hope you get alilsumthin in return for your work, fezza. ;)

Mars, can you come up with some sort of sexy pun about coffee? People (or maybe just me?) love puns!

Olives, don't beat yourself up! It's nervewracking to do that sort of thing. Do you think you will get another opportunity soon?

I can see it now: "Hey, so, I, uh, hear you've got really smooth beans..." *Walks away embarrassed*

hay baby want me to roast your beans?
hay baby you're hotter than steamed soy milk
hay baby can I get a cup of your sweet bean juice?

oh I think I went too far on the last one, you're welcome everyone.

DR - I'm being absolutely ridiculous. This is a friend - a person I SHOULD be ok with calling up and saying "hey, wanna grab a beer this week?"Even dumber is that she's one of the kindest, most thoughtful people I know, so if I tell her I like her and she shoots me down, I imagine she'll do it the most compassionate way possible.
On the other hand I know that she is not a super aggressive person at starting romances. And I'm not sure if some of the stuff she's said/done lately is a little flirtatious or just signs that we're becoming closer friends.

I am bad at people.

I was going to write a pun about steamed soy milk but I can't beat this.

Ooh ooh, how about I go in there and say: "Hey! Can I have some steamed boy mil... I mean Soy! Soy milk!"

Oh my god I just laughed so hard/threw up.

I like reading about crushes people have in Portland so I can try and figure out who they are. I mean, not that there are so few coffee shops here that I could actually figure it out.

Hint, the shop has the same name as the neighborhood it's in.

I'm sure this will occur to me eventually!

Tangientally related, I recently met a girl on OkCupid who I think is your coworker if I am remembering correctly.

Telleth me her name!

But she's vegan and what if she reads here?

Also she was just looking for friends anyway. Which is cool. She is cute though. Also it's possible that you work at a different location than I think you do. (Arbor Lodge? Or do I remember this wrong?)

ANNNNDDDD quinoa out my nose.
