Pardon my strange question... When do feelings of friendship become something... else? And what is the best remedy for stopping such feelings? Not to imply it is unpleasant, or I've no desire to love the person in question. Merely that this is going to be an inconvenience for them.
And are those with budding romantic feelings for another still permitted to invite the person of their affection on dates? Is that taboo? It feels so very wrong.
... Maybe I'll use the pocketwatch and forget all of this. This is criminal of me.

[Eliot has gone off on a self-help love quest, because all of this really bugs him. He's not sure how valid his emotions are, given that his personality is a temporary front for his "library self." He's been stopping in book stores and convenience stores, even stopping in grocery stores, to pick up those trashy teenage gossip magazines. Particularly anything that promises to explain the social etiquette of modern romance.
He's also been picking up trashy magazines of a less appropriate variety. You'll know he picked up and flipped to a scandalous article when you hear him scream in public and hastily close the magazine, glowing red from embarrassment.]
o-oh... oh my goodness...! Modern publishing is shameless...!

Sometimes...it can be surprisingly difficult to see what might be right in front of you. Even if you think you're looking clearly.

I'm a trainwreck. I don't think I can function well as a friend, so anything more... I would just be taking someone down with me. That isn't a "best case" scenario. There are only bad endings.

Because maybe you 'function' better than you think you do. People always see you differently than you see yourself.
