Caught in the Middle!

     What's a guy to do when he suspects that a girl friend (NOT girlfriend) likes him and the girl he likes doesn't know he exists? Here's my situation:

     Allyson was my first real friend at BCOM. We would hang out in and around the SRC while she was working and just discuss life. Things were cool between us until I realized how intentional she was about investing in our relationship. I mean, she had the guy in Marketing draw a picture of me, which she proceeded to post on every piece of correspondence in the SRC. I don't know; it just seems like a bit extreme for a "friendly gesture." I've begun avoiding her, but it's a bit more difficult when she's working with Rebecca.

     Rebecca also works in the SRC, and (ugh) her SMILE - it gets me every time. The way the light dances in her big, brown eyes when she plugs in the Christmas lights pierces me to the very heart. And that's not the half of it! Trust me; she's amazing. I've tried getting to know her the old-fashioned way with limited success. I resorted to conducting a one-squirrel show outside the window just for her. Every time, she stops and smiles then goes back to whatever she's working on. I'm telling you, it's torture living so close to her and seeing her every day, knowing that emotionally, she's over 1600 miles away.

     I ask you again, what's a guy to do? I mean, Allyson and I are just friends, Rebecca probably couldn't care less about me, and to top it off, they work together! Maybe there's no hope for me. I think I'll just crawl into a hole somewhere and hibernate for a while....

Lovesick squirrel,
