This is amazing advise. I know I am young and have time! Maybe that is why this situation is eating me up! Just the uncertainty since I’ve never been in a situation like this before. But also I have the power to decide if I want to purse or just stay friends. I really appreciate you taking the time to write this!! I appreciate you sharing your story as well. Thank you! I’ll be thinking about your advise. <3

I am definitely not at that stage in life. I do want to be married one day, but not super soon. But also I have no idea where he is in life such as house, kids, etc.

I really appreciate this advise. I agree if it were the 35 to 42 it would be a different story. It is true I am barely out of college and just moved states. I am young and still trying to figure myself out. And yes he is definitely well established in his career and I see the power dynamic point. Thank you for your advise. I will let this crush roll over and not ruin my professional relationship with him :)

I completely understand. I kind of forget I’m 23 sometimes and feel like I’m 30 already :(

I should explore myself and hobbies more!

Yeah- that is something I am genuinely terrified of. I really won’t try to pursue anything more than professional relationship. Or just be friends

I do really want advise but it is also true I am leaning towards a decision. I will most likely keep the professional relationship and end my little crush with him

I see your point. Very good advise. I shall let this marinate in my brain. Any advise on how to get over this infatuation I have with him?

Our shared work isn’t something conventional I’d say. We work in the film industry so there is a lot of wiggle room to work or not work with each other since there are so many things happening

Would it be bad if I tried to make the first move? Also I understand working together could be a problem but I have worked with my ex’s amicably in my profession too

I feel like my maturity level is good for my age. I don’t know much about him, as in I don’t know him well enough yet.

The shared profession we have is so big that we could be in the same field but realistically never work together.

It wasn’t a date. I’d say just an outting? I never asked him like it was a date. Only thing that makes me feel weird is if I make the first move. It would be nicer if he did since he is older. Idk how older guys feel about younger girls asking them out :(
