Thank you to Phantom R for your character and question.

Dear SiriousB1,

There's a man that I really like, but he's kind of like my boss, you know? I'm not sure how to tell him that I like him. I think he might have a thing for his boss, but she looks very manish and is kinda creepy. He might like me... he has a cute little nickname for me, it's Policegirl. I pretend to get upset, but he just laughs. I'm also concerned about my master's love of killing things, and how much he likes to fight things as strong as him. If we turned into an item would he be abusive? No! Master would never hurt me! Well... can you help me?

Sincerely
Red-eyed policegirl

Dear Red-Eyed Policegirl,

It is possible that you misunderstand your master's relationship with his boss. If this "man-ish" woman has known him for a long time, it could be that the two of them hold more of a brother-sister role, as many boys and girls do. So, while it appears that you have misinterpreted his feelings for a boyfriend-girlfriend coupling, these feelings might just be helping a friend in need. (Whether either is in need of anything is unknown to me, but I'm sure you get the idea.) Your description of his boss also leads me to believe that she might be a dyke. Not that I have anything against lesbians or gays, but the word "man-ish" illustrating a woman brings forth the stereotypical looks of a lesbian. You could use this possible friendship between the two to your advantage. For example, you could ask him what it is like to have a best friend of the opposite sex. If he opens up to you, then you might be able to venture further and ask what it is like to not have someone to love forever, when he is surrounded by females. This will show him that you are interested; then, see if he is too. About being abusive…I'm not too sure. I think that if he does become interested in you, then he would use his violent nature to protect you. But this can lead to overprotection and he might try to take over your life altogether. Tell him your concern about this, and see how he reacts. Nicknames and pet-names or whatever you want to call them can turn into a bad thing, using them all too frequently and at the wrong times. You don't want your fellow policemen to be calling you "Policegirl" for the rest of your life, do you? No, that would be embarrassing and rather sexist. Oh yes, and, if it turns out that I was wrong and he does indeed have a love-life with his boss, then be sure he doesn't tell his boss about your inquiries. This could get you fired and a long lasting feud between you two can only end in one of you getting hurt. Good luck and I hope that the above unnerving scenario (the one where he is dating his boss, not where you get your man) does not take place!

Sincerely,
SiriousB1
