Well, I also consider myself a nice guy. The problem with me, at least I think it is, seems to be that I can't tell when a girl actually likes me. I never could pick up the "signals' and all that stuff. Besides, after seeing the way some girls treat guys, it almost seems like it would be better not to be around them and just enjoy my own company.

That is another of my (many) problems.

About a month ago I was at a Dave and Busters with a couple of my friends (the only 2 people from high school I see regularly anymore). I don't recall the exact phrasing they used, but they essentially told me our waitress was 'into me'. I responded that its a waitress' job to be cordial...that's how they keep their jobs and receive decent tips.

So, let's sum this up:
1. I don't know how to pick up on the subtle signals I might be getting.
2. I would consider it rude/presumptuous to make the first move. Even the thought of doing that makes me break into a sweat.
3. I would consider it a violation of my personal code to say anything to a library patron while on the job.
4. I'm a combination of
- Stanley Ipkis (Jim Carrey from The Mask)
- George McFly (Back to the Future)
- Cliff Clavin (Cheers)
and now I think I have to add
- Adrian Monk (TV show Monk).
