Crush On A Coworker Confession
| Tue, 03-18-2008 - 1:02pm |
So... I'm developing a crush on a coworker already.... I'm terrible.... Why do I do this???? My only excuse is that he has BLACK hair...LOL... The first day I met him, I thought he was cute and then later he was wearing glasses... which is such a turn on.
He has a very sweet smile... black hair... and the cutest nose! I'll nickname him Kane (for his initials)....

Loony - You are WAY too funny!
My first reaction of course - is be careful and go slow because your career is on the line. guess there is nothing wrong with a secret crush.
I like the description of him! I can tell you are an artist because you are very visual!!
How do you like your new job so far? Do you like the work you get to do? And the people?
I most definately like the work I get to do... far less stress than the old job... I have lots of time to do tutorials and learn new artist techniques... Yesterday I created a tornado of dots.. today I'm hoping to turn into a tornado of text...
On the senior side of the office (which by the way is one BIG room... very open. i like it), are a couple fun people... this one guy is very funny and knows all the same 80's songs... in the afternoon we start quizzing each other and it's like karaoke in the office. And when the IT guy is around fixing computers (which is daily...lol) he joins us... And btw, everyone LOVES the disco ball that I brought into the office. Unfortunately, my daughter already broke it before I brought it in.. so it lights up but doesn't spin. I'm going to have to buy a new one...
Then they leave at 6 pm and it's gets a lot quieter... no one is left on my side of the office. Perhaps as i get more familiar with everyone, they won't feel like they have to "behave" around me... I try to get up and mingle and be social. We don't have a ton of work right now... I'm sure that will change over time, but for now, it's a great chance to be social with the other coworkers. And many are just out of college and starting in this business for the first time... They actually ask for my opinion. Cool.
Local Karaoke... well, last night i checked out a sports bar near my apartment... met a couple guys. One of them told me about a place that has karaoke EVERY night and apparently gets very crowded on the weekends. i'm going to look it up in the yellow pages. Hopefully it is close to the house.
So, I was sitting in the parking lot last night wondering if i should go in... by myself. And I did. I sat up at the bar. Asked the bartender what kind of crowd they get... He said, it gets very crowded normaly. And tuesdays are open mic night but the guy who does it called in sick. It was a nice place, I might go back.
As for the guys... both over 30. One guy looked kinda geeky, but i talked to him... he didn't want to share much about himself. He said he owns stock in the company i just started working for... seemed like a guy who made a lot of money... but then he started sounding like a jerk. I think it was his insecurities.... The other guy was more charming but also not my type. He gave me his business card so that i'll call him if i decide to check out the karaoke place. This morning I thought, no way, i'll go by myself so i can meet more people....

Hey Loony!
I admire your sense of adventure and confidence as you have made the move, began the new job, and are out there checking out the scene!!
You'll find a your nitch in NO time..I have no doubts about that!!
I think it is you who brings the fun!
I couldn't agree more Pacific ;-)
Yup - Pacific's right - YOU bring the fun.
Okay I sure can give you some advice here. Finally I am expert in something..dating a co-worker.
Briefly I would say , dont make a move (any moves) unless you are more than 95% sure that you really really want to pursue him and after you have studied him very well and afetr you know there is a high chance of success.. Having relationship at work can change everything and if it breaks.. hmm you can imagine.
Biker and I work in the same office..And we try not to talk about it as best as we can. Although some of them may be guessing. But I thought a lot before I started pursuing him ..He was so withdrawn because he was scared of doing it with me and spoiling his reputation and our working relationship.. So it was very difficult for us to start- Both of us being very cautious people and totally non-flirty personalities. I did try and flirt a bit when I decided that I HAVE to go out with him..lol..and kind of FORCED him to ask me out ;-) although he denies that now..
I would suggest not making any moves and just studying this person. Some people may take flirting or any similar behaviour at work against your career development. So be safe .. But a secret crush is fine.
As long as he reports to her, even with a dotted line, there can't be any 'moves' at all!
Totally agree. I missed that point. Does he report to her?
Okay No moves then
