I told a girl from work I like her. To be more specific "I like you but I would never cross that line because your friendship is more important". She said "good because thats all I can give you". I try to downplay/spin it like, 'I meant you have a lot of qualities that I like'. Of course all of this conversation happened in a social network. Now I feel awkward. She is not the gossiping type, but still the possibility of spreading rumors at work are there. Aside from that, it hurts a bit, because well maybe I'm not as attractive (Im not ugly Im a fair good looking guy) as I thought and getting older (30-31, she is early 20's). I wish I could take her out of my list just to avoid looking her up but that would make things only worse. What should I do? All of this just happened but I don't know what awaits for me this week at work.
