I think that some fear is great to have.
Being a bit scared of a wild tiger / group of tigers is a good thing.
Someone who is fearless, may approach the tiger(s) and get severely hurt and / or killed.
Courage is awesome, but wisdom is useful too.
Some of histories best men have been killed / had untimely deaths due to their lack of wisdom!!
Personally, I would stay the hell away from her!!
To share one of my main 'manipulative chick' stories:
I had a supervisor about 18 months ago (I work for a charity that helps people with 'intellectual disabilities') - who was 41 years old - talk about how 'supportive' I am, mess her hair up when we were alone, and say thinks like:
- "Catch me when I fall down the stairs"
- "When you get your hair cut, you go for blonde hairdressers right?" (she was blonde, she wasn't a hairdresser though)
- "Are you going to get any work done today, or just stare at my ass"
After almost a month of this, I suggested to her that we have lunch together some time.
She complained to the Team Manager that I was sexually harassing her, and I got a warning.
I told her that I was going to take it further,and she said "I don't want you to tell anyone else. It has been resolved by the Team Manager."
She also said that if I ever have / had a girlfriend, I would lose my job.
I took it to Human Resources, and won.
She was no longer my supervisor from then on. But I still work with her, though not directly anymore.
She tends to ignore me. Which in hindsight is probably the best thing.
In the end, I used this situation to motivate me to be more compassionate, and try to be more patient and understanding of those who attack me / do evil.
It seems the best is to be compassionate towards, but also stay away from dangerous, manipulative people and avoid them whenever possible.
