One time in a lecture, the fold down desk on my chair was broken so I had to move to the seat next to me so I could write notes during the lecture. The girl next to me then moved one chair over, there was one chair empty between us but she still moved. Like wtf? Am I that creepy? Do I ooze scary Kylo Ren intimidation?
Your perception is being skewed by preconceived bias.
I'm in a very happy and healthy marriage, but I'm pretty needy both physically and emotionally. Sometimes when I get rejected (rejection is a normal part of a relationship btw) I get to feeling downright dejected and then I start perceiving all sorts of rejections that are entirely unintended and often complete fabricated. Even from the literal other side of the planet I'm certain that's what is happening with you.
It's absolutely normal for strangers and loose acquaintances to avoid eye contact and conversation in public. It's not because you frighten or disgust anyone, it's because they got shit to do and can't stop to talk to everyone they know.

YesI'm still interested in the Agnes saga and want to hear more. I would pay for Agnes's Ten Club membership so she can take part in the conversation.

So advice on this situation...
I really like this girl. Problem is over the last year we have become like best friends, I'm proper in the friend zone.
We also work in the same office and I've heard her say she'd never data a co-worker.
I've always thought of her as a friend but in the last couple weeks I've realised I like her more than just a friend, especially when I've seen her flirt with other guys.
I don't want to say anything as I'm convinced she doesn't feel the same and it will ruin our friendship.
Anyone been in a similar situation where they've fallen for a friend?
Am I best in trying to wait it out and get over this?0 -
Yes
I've only been in one relationship with a coworker but we weren't good friends going into it. Lasted a few months and then fizzled out. In the last couple of years at my office we have had about five or so work relationships turn into marriages or trending that way, so it definitely is doable. People work so much these days so pretty natural to have relationships at work.
Are you in the same group at work (i.e., working together on projects) or have different roles where you don't really have to interact on a daily basis? I assume you aren't her boss or vice versa (gotta tread carefully if so).
I'll let others with more work relationship experience respond with advice but hopefully asking something to the effect of "would you like to go out on a date?" versus "I've been madly in love with you for the last six months" won't ruin the friendship if she says no.

Just ask.
It's better to regret something you did than something you didn't do.
