Character: Molly Hooper
Mun: Risa
Plot specific: Nope!

[There was no way that Molly was going to out herself on this so she'll pretend to be anonymous right now]

So recently, I've been having a problem.

Can anyone tell me what's the best way to get someone to notice you?

[...And that's not the end of her problems]

Until I have the courage to go up and talk to him, I think I don't have much of a choice.

Well, he can't notice you if you're so dead-set on not being noticed until you pluck up some courage. If you focus on how self-conscious you are, you might never get up the nerve.

It's a nasty cycle.

[While that is true, there was another question that was bugging her]

Then what do you suggest that I do if...he rejects me?

[3houseswatson]

That... depends on a lot of things, I think.

Are the two of you already friends and you just started feeling more or is this a secret admirer kind of thing?

[catblog]

We're...acquaintances.

[It's kind of hard to call Sherlock a friend at this point...]

[3houseswatson]

That might be for the best, honestly. I imagine it's awkward to have to reject a friend who's started to want to be more than that - or for it to be the other way around.

Honestly, even if you get rejected, at least you tried. Better that than always regretting missed opportunities and wondering 'what if?', right?

[catblog]

Yes, that is better than nothing.

And if he is still willing to talk to me after what has happened, I think that's what matters right?

[3houseswatson]

Exactly! And if he isn't willing to talk to you after, he's just a bastard and not worth your time.

Feel any better?
