Betrayal of trust

[Birdbrain]

Several weeks ago. I told my friend that I had a crush on this women Dana that I worked with. But wasn't ever going to tell her because
One) we work together
Two) she is twelve years older than me (but looks like she's only 4 or 5 years older)

Anyway, I think she knows because a couple weeks ago I farted silently as she passed and said sorry. And the look on her face told me she knew. How should I handle this betrayal of trust?

What?
You can tell she knows by your fart?

Anywho, just ask if he has told anyone and try to judge his honesty/lying skills.
Then you confront him in anyway you feel apropriate.

Next time fart louder and don't say sorry.

Jkjk.

I'd be careful what I said to that person who betrayed your trust.  You can only control what you say not what they say.

she had asked "for what?" So she didnt know about the fart

I am being careful of what I say. It's why I waited so long. to look at the situation from an objective perspective

Seems like you are jumping to conclusions.  If you really do feel that your confidence was broken, why not ask your friend about it?  It would be easier to judge if someone is lying to you by asking a direct question instead of a passing remark by inferring what your fears tell you could have happened.

In regards to your infatuation, why not express how you feel?  The stereotype that workplace romances don't work out well is utter nonsense and a misconception.  The worst that could happen is that she doesn't have your mutual feelings, but think about the benefits.  Love is fleeting, my friend and you only live once.

Embrace it while you can.  With great risk comes great reward.

I sincerely tried to not have Yolo come to mind, Barzini lol

But it does fit this situation.  Good advice!

Thanks Silent.  I just wish the best for everyone.  To add another cliche:

It is better to have love and lost than never to have loved at all.

I don't mean to be a Richard but I am cracking up over these circumstances.  Bird. MAN. Come on. I really think you are reading too much into this. Farts are not a relational divining wand. If you like this woman then age gap and flatulance be darned. Say to her "would you care to join me for a cup of coffee?" Her response is irrelevant. At least you tried:

Whenever a creature called birdbrain asks a woman out put an experience counter on him.  For each experience counter on birdbrain he  receives +1 confidence in any encounter with a woman.

I actually can ask someone out no sweat. I just don't want to ask her out because what I said, and I want someone within 5 years of my age.

And the fart was irrelevant it was her response to me saying sorry that matters.

Though you guys are all right, and thank you

If you know you could never physically be with her and she approaches you about it, just say you are a very pretty for your age, and explain how its like having a crush in kindergarten. You know nothing would never develop from it.

As for the friend, if he did tell, don't go assuming unless you know for sure. Then when you find out just let him know man that wasn't cool.
