i am catching a paper deadline and some project meeting slides, and I am moving these days.. look at the mess!

as early as possible.. seems like a good plan to start up.

it sounds like a serious crush.. that you had to purposely avoid something.. i know how it feels; and I am just not brave enough to go through with that.. anyway, here is a good place for you to dump any bad or uncertainty feelings!

hehe, you seem to be way more patient than I am..I am determined to let things go as it doesnot seem to happen. well, seems girls are more with the patience virtue

so how did she respond? sorry for being curious..

offensive? absolutely not.. it is fun; she will like it

i think as long as you don't get your PhD just because you are sleeping with the supervisor/professor/.., I have no problem with that.

i barely know all the people in my group/lab.. I work with a few of them closely, I think it is reasonable. I usually socialize with my own friends; it actually is more comfortable. Do you work on your own?

agree, you can talk about both methodology and your specific methods; I find the methodology is the theoretical foundation of your methods; so if the methodology is wrong, the methods cannot be right.

well, I will just find an excuse and leave, say " sorry, I need to go the bathroom.."

the tricky thing, you are not even sure how they feel..

shani, dating your boss will be the most awkward thing, "creepy". luckily, you guys are not of the same sexual orientation. think about making out with someone who grades your paper,ah..

nowadays, all the romances are like suspensions.. don't know where it is going in..

I usually take initiative in "romance", it just feels right for a guy. anyway, hope for some updates soon!

" who, out of all the group, is the only one I could bare to work with because the others are very rude and unsupportive. "
hmm, this doesnot sound a very nice environment. if I were you, I may consider leaving for a better one; you know, might be good in the long run.
