> what are you going to say? how are you going to say it? are you going to say it in such a way as to flirt? if it were me, id say it flirty like, as a come-on.. but, i'm like that...

Well, knowing me and how I usually feel in therapy, I'll probably be staring at the floor, maybe fidgeting with my hands, say something like 'I'm noticing I might have a little crush on Joe (not his real name)', then cringe and make some furtive glances to see how people take it, then I'll ramble on about all the dynamics I get into when I have crushes, and how I'm noticing that here, and I want to bring it up so I won't play out my usual patterns. By the time I've said all that I'll be completely tense, probably a little sweaty, and ready to disappear into my chair. Then I'll make some more furtive glances around, and possibly a 'please help me' look toward my therapist. Definitely not flirty. Then people will tell me how great it is that I brought it up, but I'll still feel embarrassed, then who knows what will happen. I won't even think about possible future awkwardness in the exchange of hugs in the parking lot. Did I mention we exchange hugs? Let me assure you, it's awkward, and not at all thrilling.
