Well, that was an interesting two weeks. Honestly, I think I was much more relaxed during that time than I have been in... a long time, actually. And I had a lot of fun. If that's what I'm going to be like in a few years, I think I'd be all right with that.

Anyway, everything was great. Right until it ended, and everything was still there in my memories. There were a few things I said that... will cause problems, if they actually happened. A lot of problems.

Um... I know I haven't been here long, and a lot of you don't know me well, but I need some advice. What do I do if... [She sighs.] If I may or may not have a crush on someone I know? Someone I'm friends with, but that I'm not sure I'm close enough to if I wanted to go further?

Damn you, Yayoi.

Honestly I didn't realize I was that much of a shipper.

[sunbloom]

Yes. Yes, you are. And now I can't even look at her without my head going floaty. And I can safely say it is your fault.

...well, not entirely your fault. I mean, I didn't exactly disagree with you... and I may have helped make it worse...

[pikapikapikarin]

Aw geez... Sorry, i really am! Older-me was just... well, unrestrained. It was kind of liberating and scary at the same time.

It's that hot, smarmy, sexy, rough around the edges but impossibly likable bar tender you chatted up during the speed dating, ain't it? It was only a few minutes, but...

[sunbloom]

Didn't I tell you I wasn't there to meet people in that way? No, my heart is set on someone... else.

[material_guy]

Ah, that's good, you do remember me! So, you do got an idea of somethin' you want, huh?

Isn't it easiest just to tell them about it?

[sunbloom]

Is it? I mean, I don't think she'll notice if I don't say something unless I get really far gone, but... Oh, I don't know...!

[omniferous]

It isn't fair to either person to keep that kind of thing hidden. If it's not hurting anyone, then you should be able to say your true feelings.

... That's what my grandma believes, anyway. [ he is the multiverse's biggest hypocrite. ]

[icantbelievethis]

Is everyone hooking up these days?

[sunbloom]

I wouldn't say hooking up quite yet. I'm still in that intermediate stage where I'm seriously considering it, I'm just not sure I can pull it off.

Why, is there something wrong?

So does everyone here have sappy crushes on each other or what? Just go ahead and tell 'em, it's not too difficult!

[sunbloom]

Not all of us are so forceful. I'm willing to take my time and do things right, if that's what it takes.

...Although, maybe the brute force approach is best with her...

[fightbymoonlight]

You should probably just tell them, even if it's difficult.

[sunbloom]

Yeah, but... I'm not sure how she'll take it. And I don't want to hurt her.

[oceanicbutterfly]

It's Hanasaki-san, isn't it?

[sunbloom]

Mmn... how did you...?

[video]

[iwontforgivethis]

It's... probably a good idea to just go ahead and tell them.

I mean, if you don't, you might end up pining for him or her for years without saying anything and be miserable when it comes to romantic stuff like that.

[sunbloom]

While I agree with your response, and that's probably what I'm going to do, that's oddly specific...

[mightletyouknowme]

Was all of the stuff we talked about really true?

[sunbloom]

Yes. I don't have a whole lot of friends... lots of acquaintances, though. And one of those friends may be moving into a different column.

[makewayforroze]

Even if it is hard, honesty is best.

[sunbloom]

I know that, I do. But every time I want to say something, I just lock up. I... I want to say something, but I'm afraid everything's going to go wrong.

[tenminutes]

Date them. If you shove each other in the friend zone too quickly, you're going to have issues getting out.

[ Yuri understands the friend zone more than anyone. She's an expert and shoving people into it. ]

[sunbloom]

But if I jump in and she doesn't catch me, I'm going to crash. Hard.

Maybe I'm just worrying too much about this. Is it really that simple? Go for it and never look back?
