Crush Advice
So, until recently I genuinely thought I was an asexual. Until I started to get a crush on this guy. I thought it was just boredom & daydreaming as my usual crushes are, and itd leave. Only, recently he and I had a couple of drunken interactions and now Ive got this massively huge crush on him and Im wildly out of my depth.
Im pretty sure he likes me back but also anxiety and insecurities are trying to convince me otherwise at every turn so I feel like I should act quick before I chicken out??
However theres on big issue, he is a manager at our shared workplace - and Im working my way up to becoming a supervisor and hopefully on my way to become a manager too. & our workplace doesnt allow people of positions (supervisors, managers or higher) to date amongst each other.
I certainly dont want to mess up his career, nor mine, so Im kind of just freaking out??
like, even if I talked myself up to the confidence of asking him out or confessing, there is of course the risk of rejection - which would make work super awkward - or if he reciprocated which probably wouldnt work because of our jobs.
In all honesty, Id be willing to cast aside my job for a strong and purposeful relationship but I cant judge whether hell be worth it based off current. Aaaaaaaa
@DoubleShotDespresso Could you be demi? Maybe because you've already established a relationship of some sort with him this ended up developing? I'm not sure because I could be ace/demi myself but I just wanted to put that out there.
Good luck! Relationships at work can be super dicey. Which is not to say this can't work, but it can get awkward, it can be against workplace policy, he is in a position of power over you, etc.
@ReadBooksDrinkTea aaa, that is very possible. I usually just stayed away from demi and grey because that gets confusing to me, & other people get confused (& ignorant) enough when I say Im ace.
i hope it works out but Im panicking so much cause I have no idea what to do. I just wish there was a sign or something that this a risk worth taking.
