I think he may be single and he's my age. But I really thought I was beyond this. Help!

Just YOLO it and go make a move.

Want to know a secret? I'm not supposed to tell you this but guys actually like it when girls approach them and make the first move.

So what are you waiting for? Go out there and go talk to this dude, for narnia!

Yes, but he's my supervisor and I don't want to screw up my job. I think he may like me though; we talked a lot and walked home together. I think I will have to be subtle, yet obvious.

If you were a guy having a crush on supervisor I would tell you it's a very bad idea.

But since...well..it's not the case, I don't think there's a risk unless he's married.

Hypergamy kicking in again! Sorry, I couldn't resist to point to that :P, especially since it's you.

Hypergamy would apply in this situation as he is financially secure. But really, I just enjoyed talking to him. I can't say anything direct because if he's not interested that would be super awkward. Perhaps his interest (or lack of) will become apparent in time.

If any "moves" are to be made, I would, owing to the working relationship, defer the "first moves" to him.

You are a vital person, Ann. More than you think. I sensed that.

All is not lost!

Thanks :)
I will leave the first moves to him. It's rare for me to enjoy talking with someone.

Aren't instincts too strong?

Awww....

He has more to lose than you; from his perspective, he would be afraid to lose his job/reputation if you happen to not like him back, and you happen to be delusional and mean enough to sue him for an office harassment because of some smile he did after revealing his interest.

He has way more reasons than you to be afraid from revealing interest - because he would be easily put himself in a position where you can accuse him of things, like accusing him of using his authority to force him into some relationship - A romantic relationship attempt from a supervisor with a subordinate can involve thorny legal and employee relations problems.

From your side....well, you have nothing to lose! Well, maybe you might get some awkwardness in case he doesn't like you but that's it.... but rest assure, a typical man won't go to the HR and make a drama out of it nor would broadcast it to the staff in the lunch break.


But if he likes you, then....well....you are the on the right path to get promoted faster. :lol:

So who has to reveal interest first in your case? YOU and only you.

No such luck. It's a transitional work program. After six months I have to get a job in the community.

Yes, but I have to be subtle, not something I'm good at.

Oh....just like that? Finally admitting your female instinct?

That was easier than expected.

I don't think I've ever denied this instinct. These things are pretty ingrained in us. But you make it sound like I'm targeting superior men. I assure you this is not the case. It just happens I enjoy this guy's company.

Forget all this superior/inferior, alpha/beta/gamma/delta/omega crap.

if we get bogged down in Greek letters/Latin terms pertaining to love, we'll never get anywhere!

I think so.
I keep pretty much to myself, mostly because I don't enjoy others' company. But I like talking to this guy.
