We were coworkers sharing an office. Also she was married (and didn't identify herself as polyamorous). I didn't want to start drama.

Because of my mirror.

To be honest, I've had 4 actual crushes so far, and I asked out 3 of them. They all ended in rejection, and the one I didn't ask, I don't know about. I'm moving away soon, I know I won't see her again, and I barely know her, so I decided it's best to leave it at that. We haven't talked much, but it is still a bit of a what if I talked to her more and asked her out when I had the time for that, and the chance?

I was just a kid, get off my back!

Lack of self-confidence? Even when given the chance to do so... was probably for the best, I'm in a stable long term relationship now and at the time, I would have been a pretty rubbish boyfriend.

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