I (f23) have befriended a guy online around 2 weeks ago. We have been staying up late together chatting about random things and sharing stories with each other. I tossed like two funny flirty lines to him in those days, but it didn't seem like he was interested (besides ruining his sleep schedule to stay up with me). We have not talked about anything sexual either. We have both been broken up from our partners around the early months this year, so it's clear that both of us enjoy each other's company.

Today I woke up to him sending me some pretty obvious signs that he likes me and is flirting with me. But I'm thinking of just asking him if we could remain friends. He is a nice guy, I enjoy hanging out with him. I just feel like I would be the AH since I have been staying up really late talking with him and because I kinda flirted with him at the start.

EDIT: For clarification I AM going to reject him, I just wanted to know if I was the AH for doing so. I'm not asking for help with the decision part.

There's a lot of negativity when it comes to being a CNA. And while I completely understand and I absolutely agree that there's downsides, I just want to highlight some of the things I LOVE about my job.

1. Every day is different
   - I love being able to come home and tell a different story to my family each time (without including names/identity ofc).

2. I get to move/exercise
   - I'm someone who is used to sitting at the computer a lot, so becoming a CNA has been a massive change. I constantly hit 10k steps at work, and now I am to hit 10k steps on my days off too. I have elevated blood pressure, so all this movement is going to help me go back to a normal bp and also lose weight

3. Getting to know residents & seeing them recover
   - I have sooo many lovely patients that tell me about their life. I work in a rehab & ltc center and some of them I get to see go home. Some of them go to ltc or the hospital. Wherever they go, I will always miss them and think of them.

4. It's not a job meant to be rushed
   - I get stressed in fast paced situations. I am happy to be able to take my time and make sure the residents are comfortable and clean. I'm aware that this isn't the case in every facility due to resident ratios, but I am happy to be working in a location/place that allows me to do this. Yes there is some stress here, but for the most part I don't have to rush through care.
