I couldn’t be a used car salesman. I wouldn’t be able to bring myself to sell someone a lemon.

They work in retail and where I live it’s considered inappropriate for a customer to hit on someone who works in retail. I only know them from where they use to work and I had a chance to ask them out then but I fucked up thinking I shouldn’t ask right away and instead wait to go back. Then I never saw them again until they started working at a different store - both dispensaries.

They’re never alone at work and I still don’t think I should say anything cause technically its their job to be nice to me anyways.

If you know them previously, then you aren’t inappropriate to ask them out. Just give em a card with your number on it and leave it to them to reach out if they want to.

They only know them previously because they worked at a different retail store “I know you from when you worked at store A and now you work at store B”

yeah the problem is now I’d have to do that in front of several people they work with. So like, this would either be embarrassing for them in front of their coworkers, or for me, or for both of us.

Slip them your number on a note on top of cash for your purchase?

After being friends with her for a year, one year less than the amount of time I had a massive crush on her, I asked her out. She rejected me, but we agreed to stay friends and she assured me that nothing happened and we can continue like before. However, I now feel like I’m being used (or how do you say it). She doesn’t talk to me as much, only contacts me when she has a tech problem. That doesn’t seem like a friendship. When I confronted her, she said she wasn’t ghosting me, stopped for like a week, then continued.

I still think about her every day.

Ah, man, this hurts a lot. It appears that you were keen in helping her with whatever kind of problems, personal or business, but she wasn’t in a reciprocal place.

Sometimes after a failed confession, the reality of course doesn’t match your expectation. I just ask myself that if it’s someone else, what I would expect from them in the response of friends helping each other out. She might truly be using you, or anyone who fell into her trap.

I’m not saying she’s an abusive woman but those definitely exist. Glad you made your way out.
