Friends, this is driving me crazy. There is a woman I am very attracted to, and I want to ask her out more than anything. There's only 2 major problems. The first is that we work together, and I do not ask out, let alone date women I work with. So maybe this is a moot point anyway. But the second problem is I just don't trust myself.

What I mean is I'm afraid that maybe the reason I'm so attracted to her is because I can't have her. And since I know I can't have her, it's easy to pine over her and think how much better everything would be with her in my life. At the same time I'm really not at a point in my life where I should be dating anyone because I need to put myself back together. But then again, even if you don't want to go to the party, it's nice to be invited, right? :roll eyes:

I don't know. A while back I went onto a website that's all about relationships and spilled my guts about my feelings for her, and the interactions we have had. Of the handful of people who responded, the majority felt I had no chance with her. I was crushed. Then I talked about it with a friend who said, "Why are you so freaked out about what some strangers on the Internet said?! They don't know you, they don't know her, they've never seen any of the things you're talking about!"

All that said, however, I would hate to just walk away without ever at least trying. I haven't felt this strongly about someone in a long time.

I don't know. I feel like my whole life is trying to learn to fly a plane that's already at 24,000 feet.
