I've never been very shy, so I can't say for sure, but it sure seems to me like he likes you. If he didn't, he wouldn't be thinking of you when he noticed the job opening.

I'd think politely declining would be the way to go. If he's reserved, it could be an awkward attempt to simply be nice, rather than a come-on. Regardless, I would think it unwise to accept his offer.Quote:

I'd say he's into you, and I also agree that you should politely (VERY POLITELY) turn down the job offer.
As you turn it down, ask him what he's doing that weekend or what not.
Just remember, the male ego can be oh-so fragile.

Shy guys do have a weird way of asking girls out, which is unfortunate.
Take the job and the man. If you're right for each other, it won't matter if you work together. If not, you at least you got a job out of it. Hedge your bets.
What happens when the guy turns out to be a creep and Mara doesn't like the job? Maybe he would expect something from her in return for the job. I don't know the guy so maybe all this is far-fetched, but honestly, it strikes me as a bit of an odd offer and I certainly wouldn't rush into acceptance. At the least sit on it until you know him better.Quote:

I'm going to list the number of ways in which this guy is awesome in spoiler, so you can all avoid it if you wish.

Anyway, I think he's really cool. I'm not requiring him to fall in love with me, but I really want to continue to be friends with him.
This would be just my luck. I'm crippled by my own need to be polite, so I often get stuck in ugly situations.Quote:

Curious: what was the play?

Though she was terrible at the job and was pretty much fired, but that's because I let her do whatever she wanted and just basically made out with her during every shift. But that's what I hired her for! :PQuote:

I just realized I've come to think Qrazy looks like his avatar.

A Sonnet for Spreadsheet
Oh spreadsheet, your body is made of lines,
You’re vertical, you are horizontal,
When you doll yourself up the gazer finds,
To his surprise, you are diagonal.
But I do not think that angles suit you,
They are contrary to your staid essence,
Angles are for harpies, whores, and sluts too,
You can’t arouse with your pale grid presence.
Forty hours per week I admire you, spreadsheet,
I fill the lonely cells of your body,
I put my soul in you from head to feet,
But what you give back is less than shoddy.
Run over my will with a quiet truck,
I’m completely wasting my life. Holy fuck.
Pulitzer...or a Nobel.Quote:

Most of the time I think that all of you look liker your avatars. And then I remember that its not the case. Whenever I see actual pictures of the people who post here in the photo thread I'm surprised about how they look and stuff. Its all kind of weird to me.Quote:
