That's new. One of the only times someone detects sarcasm in me I'm being honest. It is a shame but I'm just going to apologise for the fact I'm feeling Schadenfreude.

Eh.

I want to keep talking to her, but at the same time, I need to keep myself from looking like a creep.

Then don't say creepy stuff.

Or just be yourself. If you say things she finds creepy, you're likely not a good match anyway. If you have to be someone you're not around someone it tends to become tiresome to keep up the act.

Ion, if you're talking to her for hours on end and she hasn't complained thus far, odds are she likes you and greatly enjoys talking with you.

CVT Temp wrote:I mean, we can actually create a mathematical definition for evolution in terms of the evolutionary algorithm and then write code to deal with abstract instances of evolution, which basically equates to mathematical proof that evolution works. All that remains is to show that biological systems replicate in such a way as to satisfy the minimal criteria required for evolution to apply to them, something which has already been adequately shown time and again. At this point, we've pretty much proven that not only can evolution happen, it pretty much must happen since it's basically impossible to prevent it from happening.

Can we please not use that word? It irks me when people use it.

As for the actual emotional stupidity, yeah, I have that too, whenever I talk to anybody IRL.

I feel like I've just been nominated to be TET's therapist. I'll take that challenge on. Please, Gren, lay back on the couch. I'd like to talk with you about your relationship with your mother and Freudian psychology . . .

Anyway, difficult position to be in, indeed. How invested are you with this person you're crushing on? Have you been crushing from afar or have you spent some time with him/her and come to that conclusion?
