--- Quote from: Milayna on 18 Jul 2017, 21:48 ---If I know my avoidant behavior - and believe me I know my avoidant behavior - Faye is exhibiting avoidant behavior.
--- End quote ---
You know your avoidant behavior, sure.
But to me, looks like she thought it through, weighed it against everything she knows about Bubs, and came to the conclusion that a lot of us did. Platonic affection.
Is it cold in here?:

Faye could also be clueless.
If she puts Bubbles through the kind of courtship she subjected Marten and Angus to, I feel sorry for Bubbles.
If Bubbles is not Interested then that's better for the equilibrium of all concerned but inconsistent with the Principle of Maximum Awkwardness.
BenRG:
Poor Bubbles! Really, I think that most adults have been where she is at least once. The most horrible part of it is that there is no automatic correct answer. There is nothing more disturbing to realise that your subconscious hind-brain had come to decisions about your relationships without telling your consciousness first! This must be all the more difficult for Bubbles because, according to Jeph on Twitter yesterday, Bubbles usually tries to be very careful about what she says and the words she uses to say it. To have an ambiguity in the air is probably not something with which she feels comfortable.
Yes, Faye is running away from the conversation and that is an entirely human reaction. This is especially the case the way the last serious relationship Faye was in crashed and burned. I can well understand her not wanting to even discuss feelings.

That may or may not be what Faye wants to believe. Panel 4 explicitly states that it isn't what Bubbles believes.

--- Quote from: TheEvilDog on 18 Jul 2017, 20:21 ---True, but this is also the first possibility of someone being interested in her might be a difficult thing to talk about. After all, what tipped her towards that trip to hospital was the breakdown of her relationship with Angus. Most, if not all, of Faye's main binges have been in connection with relationships (or lack thereof). This might be Faye trying to make sure she doesn't end up in that position again.
--- End quote ---
I can't fault Faye for overlooking the possibility that a robot may have a non-platonic interest in her. It is uncommon.
Gyrre:
Poor Bubs, that's a super awkward feeling to have. Worse are the anxieties that can attach to it.
