writes:Dear Agony Aunts,It’s been over a year since I got out of a toxic relationship, and as I want to move forward with my life, I am willing to give love another chance.At my workplace, I have met with a very friendly Africain American girl, and I am curious about if anything about how she interacts with me is something more than platonic. Just note that, as a result of the toxic relationship, I might have some trauma to deal with, probably on my own, which I DO NOT MIND.M’kay, so, when this Africain American girl greets me, she does that finger wave thing, where she randomly makes her fingers from her index finger to her pinky finger go up and down, basically for a second or two. Additionally, she smiles at me, when she does this, like, as if she has known me from before, and she remembers some good memories (for perspective). My latest interaction with her is really brief. She does her wave and smile, and asks me how I’m doing. I tell her that I am doing well, and I reciprocate the question, and she answers generally the same thing. (Now, I know people are going to assume that I figure that this brief chat was a flirty thing, and I just want to clarify, that’s probably just her wanting to test the conversational waters with something very simple. I know that that alone is NOT going to be a "she wants me, that I should make a move as soon as I have the chance," etc. I am trying to make a conscious effort to differentiate between romantic, platonic, and sexual interactions.)In any case, mostly because this is occurring at the workplace, I am approaching the situation with great care, since while they don’t have any rules discouraging non supervisor/supervisee romances, I am still intent on doing the right thing, and if it means giving her a chance to romance with me, by all means, I am for it, just as long as she doesn’t feel any obligation to be with me.
