I don't know about you, but #BABA is 22! Without further ado, here's another rousing edition of Bad Advice by Amanda.
Amanda,
There's this guy I work with who is always really nice to me. Like, really nice to me (in a normal human way, he's not being creepily nice). Every time I help him out with something at work, he's like "Thanks, I really appreciate your help!" The icing on the cake: he came to my poetry reading last week and I didn't even tell him about it. All signs point to "He's interested," but he's also just a really nice guy in general (I'm pretty sure he tells everyone that he appreciates their help and is just a really supportive friend who goes to everyone's poetry readings). So, is he showing interest or is he just really nice?

I FEEL THIS SPIRITUALLY.
As someone who is both incredibly oblivious and bad at reading people, this question plagues my entire existence. The worst part is, you never know. You could be 10,000 percent sure and confront him about it, but then he's like "no, I don't like you, I'm just a decent human being who treats all other human beings decently #friended."
On the flip side, you could be 10,000 percent sure he is not into you, and then one day you're having lunch together and he's like, "YOU IDIOT I LIKED YOU I GAVE YOU ALL THE SIGNS," and you're just like "what signs?" and then you remember he asked you to hang out twice and you couldn't because of reasons and all of his interested advances flew over your head because you're an oblivious idiot when it comes to love/dating/anything involving people.
So, since this is so confusing, just ignore your feelings for each other and keep up this weird office tension you have. There's a good chance he probably has some weird obsession with Furbies that he doesn't want you to know about. Also, office romances never end well. Accept the fact you will die alone and that's not a bad thing because it means you can leave all your money to a college/place and get a building named after you. People who will spend your money when you die <<<<< building that will be there forever until someone else gives more money than you.
