Well, woe is me!

I guess I'm putting this up here because having looked at other people's comments, I know I'm not alone in my despair!

I have a new boss who is everything I have ever wanted in a man - very intelligent, very handsome and is wonderfully warm and charming. Now what does a girl do when this man beams gorgeous brown eyes and smiles at you every single time he sees you? And you can see so much of yourself in this other person, as if you're made of the same fibre?

I know he's quite charming anyway - it's not especially for me. But isn't it just horrid when the object of your dreams tells you that you are brilliant, interesting, does everything he can to help you, etc and there you are - helpless and petrified inside and trying one's best to maintain composure on the outside! Having him be so friendly doesn't help - I've 'retaliated' by restricting my own friendliness with him, so that he won't suspect anything. Anyone out there in the same boat, male or female? It helps to share, even if it can't be solved so easily!

You don't "know" him though, just his work persona.

 

It's Ok to crush on your boss, just don't act upon it, even more so if he's married. Office romances between employee and employer isn't such a good idea.

 

He is a nice guy, probably a good boss, respectful and cares about his employees. Don't mistake that niceness as romantic feelings.

Tx Whichwayisup,

I guess you are right, but it's dreadful having to see him and have him tell me how generous, compassionate, etc I am. Oh God!

These feeling have taught me a lesson - I used to tell people just to forget it, but now I see how difficult it is!

So I'm working hard to be as normal around him as possible, and avoiding him where I do not have to see him.

Tx for the dash of reality...!

But how hard it is!
