Thanks! I sometimes end up a little verbose but its nice that my inclination to ramble about this stuff is appreciated!
There are groups I'm already a part of, they don't meet that often though and in both groups I go to they're kind of not fertile ground for dating. I probably just need to expand a bit but there is a mental barrier to going somewhere new and worrying about being the newbie. New habits are hard to form.
The situation at my work place is messy for a number of reasons. Its a very small non-profit and there is even some ambiguity over if one woman I'm into and whether she is a "boss" or just an assistant to the real boss. Obviously if she has any real authority trying to date her is a massive no no but its not explicitly clear. And I mean, that's kind of frustrating just on the work side of things too if I'm honest.
Hey I'm in pretty much the same boat so here's hoping for both of us ๐ sometimes you just gotta pick a day and go do it I guess :<
I actually met some pretty cool people in a language class I took after college, don't know if there are any near you but class environments are generally pretty low stress.
Ah I gotcha that's a bit rough lol, maybe if you are able to find some cool people, it'll get you used to it so you'll be able to talk more easily with the boss-not-boss xp
