This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Or she genuinely wanted a friend and anon is so attention starved he can't see the difference.

I wouldn't want to go back to that awkward situation either.

... so badly that you quit your job??

Oh, come on. Weeks of talking and flirting (coworkers agreed) and she never mentioned a boyfriend. To be painfully clear, this isn't a gender thing and anyone can lead someone else on to stroke their own ego. And that's what this is (if it happened).

You only have the incel's account of things.

Why not? I'd return, apologize for the misunderstanding, and then laugh about it. Maybe bring a small gift, like cookies or something to share, and make it clear that you're looking for friendship.

But completely bailing is kind of weird IMO, which tells me there's more to the story.
