That moment when you're new supervisor at work (2 yrs younger than my 30 years) is the most beautiful woman you've ever laid your own two eyes upon.

But you need your job.

It sucks to say "no" and move on, but what can you do?

Hate that feeling.

Foes your place of work have a policy that colleagues can't date?

I do not believe it is written in stone, but I'm sure they consider it bad practice. We are even prohibited from being Facebook friends.

Oh I've just realised you would have to be absolutely, totally and utterly sure she reciprocated because it could get called sexual harassment and then you could get fired.

I haven't said anything to anyone yet (except on here), but it's an awful feeling.

I won't appear to be
shunning you

But I must

I was crushed
Driven by romantic dreams
Fuelled by nervous friction
Really quite smitten...

What a stupid policy, is it even legal to get into that much into one's personal life?


Anyway regarding your situation, I am stating an Egyptian proverb for it:

"Keep away from evil and sing to it."

In America this degree of invasion into peoples.personal lives is the norm. Its sad but it is true. Employers expect to govern your offsite behavior many times as well as onsite

It’s probably wise not to get into a relationship with someone who can easily get you fired when you break up.
