I can definitely spend time with her. In fact, my job lets me "check out" games for four days, so I just took one out that she really likes to watch me play.

I can see why it'd be kind of scary for her. I've never been involved with boys, technically I'm still not, but I think that if I DID get a boyfriend, it'd be easier for her to see that I'm pretty strong-willed. Meanwhile, she knows I like my job and my co-workers, though nothing risque passes my mind.

As usual, people in my family suspect everyone has a crush on me. They've been wrong in their suspicions before, but I'm in this situation again where I can't speak for them. I can't say for a fact, "No, he doesn't like me."

So it's hard on me, too, unfortunately.
