I don’t think it’s wise to treat people you’re romantically interested the exact same you would any other person. That’s how I got into this mess, to be honest. I actually feel like if I were more upfront about it I now wouldn’t have made this post here.

stop treating women differently from men

True and I never have otherwise. But you should absolutely treat people you like differently, at least in the way of what you want with them.

Where am I supposed to get a hamster wheel??

Also, I feel like at that last stage we may as well just remain friends.

“that’s all fine but I genuinely begin to develop feelings for her” and “I just don’t really care all that much for a friendship”.

Okay I may have not worded it very well there. What I mean is that I don’t want to be in this “friendzone” any more. I really don’t and I don’t see myself being happy remaining as such.

It’s nothing about her not being good enough. It’s my own feelings that are in the way.

I never said I didn’t like her. It’s quite the opposite.

The problem is that I want more than friendship. It just leaves too much to be desired.

Before we all die in WW3 I’d just like to say: It’s “Oh for fuck’s sake.”

Well, shit.

So, the joke is just paedophilia?

Edit: Okay so according to the comment below “Elementary, my dear Watson” is his catch phrase. hence, the joke. Thanks for clearing that up Famko.
