Romance in the workplace Options

[xquizit]

Hmmmm... I am aware I'm probably an old fogie in comparison to the rest of the members here and most of you won't have the slightest clue what to tell me so eh, I guess I'll just be sharing...


I HAVE THE HOTS FOR MY BOSS. Absolute hottie, probably a lot older than me, maybe in his upper 20's, but that's within my range! Think Ben Affleck. Hunky, fit, great teeth, and a goofy yet charming personality. Gotta love older men.

Anyhow, I've been working at this IT firm as an intern for about 2 months now but it was only meant to be temporary to fulfill a school requirement. But I had been crushing on him since the first day I. Anyhow, today was suppossed to be my last day, and I've hardly talked to him at all except this one time he was telling me about some Asian woman he had dated in the past whose family ran this sub place... anywho, he calls me into his office this morning as I'm coming in for a chat. This was definately the 2nd time he's mentioned dating an Asian woman, this time however, he mentions she's filipino. And he proceeds to ask me which part I'm from and whatnot. Next thing I know, we're having this 30 minute conversation about travel, and Dave & Busters, and casinos. Then he offers me a permanent position with the company saying that they'd love to keep me around and that I've been helpful and whatnot. And he winks at me. *swoon*

I dunno, maybe I'm reading him wrong, I'm usually very bad at reading men anyway, but could he be interested? I mean, why all the talk about Asian women? And the immediate job offer was unexpected.

It would suck to leave now, especially since something *may* spark, who knows. But honestly, I didn't even like this job that much so I don't know if I would want to return. Haha, it's not even that serious. I'm probably not coming back. And it's not like these romances work within the office anyhow. Maybe I'll just keep in touch after I leave.

But still, my boss is hot.



So uhhh... to promote interaction in this thread, do any of you have stories to share about having the hots for your boss... or someone you work with?

I'm dating one of my co-workers which is causing some drama because another co-worker really likes me and doesn't know about it... He makes us/me uncomfortable because he's always staring at us when we're talking with this unhappy/angry look and is always asking the other co-workers about us. Only a select few co-workers that we're close with know and they promised not to tell.

This will cause more drama if my "boyfriend" finds out that I slept with my ex about 3 days before we started dating, that I'm still in love with my ex, and that I'm not sure if I really do like him or if I'm just trying to fill in the void my ex has left.

I agree with what Kiera would do, don't work there just because you like your boss.
