>Coworker invites me to go to the gym with him. >We get along really well, but incidentally, he's black, and the sort that says things like "You my nigga dog, am I your nigga?" to which I awkwardly reply "…You sure are!" >Go to the gym with him. >It's an all black gym. >I'm a half white half hispanic metalhead with long hair. >No big deal, no one's being weird about it or anything. >We're done, walking out he talks to some guy on a treadmill.

Oh fuck, I've made some kind of tremendous error. Maybe I'm weirding him out. Maybe he doesn't like white people. Maybe he doesn't like people with long hair. >What do I do now? I committed. I can't retract my hand and walk away. What if he slaps it while I'm retracting it? I'll look like an asshole. >THINK. THINK. >he dismissively slaps my hand away while avoiding eye contact. >Walk away smiling awkwardly, and massage my neck as if I'm embarrassed on the way out. >Never went back to that gym. >Never invited back to that gym.

>>4148 I did both. Whichever I felt for. It probably wasn't the best way to go about it.
As for bitches, I've probably never made them feel anything but awkwardness and disgust.

>>4299 Are you sure you were ever happy to begin with? Did you just use that to explain all your pain? It can take a while to get over relationships. You just need to make yourself bored with the feelings. Try writing her 1000's of obsessive notes in your own blood about how you love her and want to peel back her skin. But before sending them to her, just don't.
