We have the following problem in the office: There is a colleague who, I think is nice enough once you get to know him a bit more closely. The thing is, most of the time he looks really grumpy or depressed - I don't really know how to read his face. He talks very little. We could deal with that (...
I went on a few dates with a woman I was interested in at the time. After the fourth date, she decided we should just be friends, which I was okay with.

I've never come across something like that, and wanted to make sure I...
