Ask... as a woman it’s super simple.. either he’s into you and will say yes or he’s not and will say no... as a man I’ve been asked out 3 times. 1 time by an attractive woman while I was in a relationship. 1 time by someone I personally wasn’t attracted to. And 1 time by a gay man. Not a single time was I taken aback or insulted or anything. I was glad that someone expressed interest and I just stated my feelings. I’m not single, sorry I’m not interested, and sorry I’m not interested...

And all my friends are the same way from what I’ve been told. No one will think you’re a creep or you’re weird etc...

SM1 BINGO!

If you like the bar- then don’t.

My experience is that most men prefer to do the chasing, so you may want to hold off the direct asking him out. Instead try the flirting approach, make it clear you like him and see if he's interested. Agree with others that bartender hours and lifestyle may not be the easiest, but if its just some fun, no harm in trying!

He’s respecting that your a customer... unless your blatantly obvious he won’t be the one to cross that line

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated. I’ll try to bring it up with them, but I’ll say “if you want to end this feel free” so it doesn’t hurt me (and they can say what they really mean instead of sugarcoating). Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?

I didn't apply for a job that would have set me up for the future in the government. I wouldn't have to worry about money or future jobs.

It's a small town and rarely anything comes up. I hate myself and feel like I failed my family. :(
