There is a woman in my yoga class I’ d like to ask out. Though she’s friendly to me, I worry that this could lead to awkwardness in class if she rejects me or if we date but things go poorly. I have a two-year relationship with this class — much longer than my fantasy relationship with her. What should I do? Grow a spine and go for it regardless of the eventual consequences, or fish in a different pond? – Stuck
Spines are not to be grown promiscuously. In other words, there’s no one-
