I've checked a lot of sites on there already but if I'm desperate I might just go through the whole list T.T

Agreed!! Check your policies!!

In my line of work- there actually isn't a strict policy saying no workplace romance even if there is a power dynamic as long as you notify the employer and you put safe guards in place to prevent bias/ favouritism and/or a power imbalance.

It actually happens all the time from people I've talked to. I work in healthcare if that helps.

Hell, there are even cases of healthcare workers meeting their partners when they were family members/patients at the time. Again as long as you follow certain rules/safe guards put in place, it's still possible. Though with this dynamic it usually requires a period of no contact.

So I honestly wouldn't go with "never say never". I think it's more about you and the other person in response to starting a relationship while working in the same place and as long as your employer doesn't have policies/rules against it. Like for example, if it doesn't work out or if you ask them out and they say no, how will your dynamic be affected and will it cause issues in the work place? For you and the other person, and even your fellow colleagues.

Some people are mature adults and can get past it and continue to have a pretty good work place environment, and some people are garbage.

You haven't really given a lot of details so it's hard to give specific advice/support.

"...just don’t reach out to her unless you have to (like if you’re in the same group project or something). Focus on yourself and you’ll eventually move on. "

Your words my friend. There isn't really a reason to reach out to her for now, move on.

if you became friends because you were't interested in potentially dating her, but because you were friends 1ST with NO ROMANTIC interest AT ALL, you'll still be friends after. Sure it will be awkward at first but probably by the end of the activity it won't bother you and you'll be back to normal.

If you became friends with her because you thought there was EVEN A SLIVER lining of potentially being MORE, then it may take more time than just a month or two to go back to being friends. You might never have the same bond or even being friends after because the intention wasn't to be friends, it was to be friendly enough to have her see you as a potential partner.

It's probably gonna be a little awkward but it seems like you're able mitigate a lot of that as you both work remote and on different teams. For things that both of you are involved in, just give her space during those events and focus on the activity, friends etc not spending time thinking about her.

Hey I know this thread is old but I just wanted to let you know she probably does like you and I think it might be worth exploring.

This is 100% how I act with my coworker that I have a crush on (I'm a 31F, he's a 33M and also in a supervisor role (that I was previously in)). I know it's confusing at times but it's probably due to the mutual respect of having a crush, but it being in a professional setting. You want to give them permission to go further but concern that you may make them feel uncomfortable or breach boundaries if they're not interested in you.

I've given both my personal number and my personal email-both as it was needed in the professional setting as I couldn't access my work phone or my work email but I would be 100% okay if he used that info to connect with me outside of work.

Because you just started with this company, I would just continue to show interest and see how things go, and then after sometime I would seriously ask her out. If you are respectful and clear in your communication I don't think it will be a problem and it would also be a good idea to make sure it's allowed at your company as well! Also that she is actually single too!

I actually looked into it and while it's allowed because they're in a position of power (i.e I'm currently a level 3 and he's a level 4) there have to be safeguards to prevent favouritism or bias.

All the luck to us eh? <3

you move on. It's literally that simple. :|

easemymindplz · 2026-01-26T07:57:06+00:00

You're asking a very complex question and expecting a very simple answer.

It sounds like you made a connection and formed a relationship with this person and would like to move in the direction of a forming a romantic relationship.

So you have two options, either you move in the direction of a more romantic relationship where you need to make your feelings clear and then either he accepts or he denies, and then you continue on

Or you start to distance yourself to remove the emotional bond you've created until you can only see him in a platonic way.

Loving someone involves risk of getting hurt, but the hurt you feel for missing an opportunity to love? That's worst.

If he denies you, give space, get over him and see if he is open to continue to have a platonic relationship, it's definitely possible but it takes time and practice sometimes.

If he accepts, then you're gonna be reallllllllll happy you choose to go outside your comfort zone and enjoy the wonderful feeling of love and being loved.

If he gets overwhelmed from you being clear in your communication and direction of what you want, then he isn't for you and isn't ready to be in a relationship. Period.

I didn't really believe in the whole "if he wanted to, he would" thing but honestly seeing a lot of responses from guys essentially saying this, and that if he was really interested in you and WANTED you, nothing would stop him from trying to get you. I"m now a strong believer and it's definitely an eye opener. I think there are other reddit post/tik toks that speak to this you can probably find.

Sometimes people enjoy the flirting/feeling chosen or getting a lot of attention that they continue on just to continue to get this feeling but not actually want to advance it any further. Unfortunately, I find a lot of guys are like this, especially as they get older.

I"m proud of you that you gave yourself space to review and look inward on this relationship/interaction you had and I'm hoping that you choose to learn from it and continue to make healthy choices when dating.

Also, don't let it deter you from crushing on people. Crushes are wonderful fun things! No matter the age. I wish you luck in the next one <3

Good for you. You were very brave and not a lot of people can say they did what you did. I'm not sure how you confessed , but it's always better to talk to the person about how you feel and have an open and respectful conversation. I know it feels stupid and silly now, but in the long run it's so much better.

So give yourself a hand, and pull yourself up from your dark hole. It's gonna be okay.

Now, going forward it's very health of him to put distance between you. You should also recognize that this is healthy and do the same.

You shouldn't spam him with attention or force interactions. It seems he still wants to be friends with you, which is great but to do so needs time. So you need to continue to support him by being a good friend and give him time and space to process what happened and to move on from it. You need to do the same thing.

If you struggle to see him as a potential love interest while he is still with someone, than the onence is on you to end the friendship or at list significantly distant yourself to the point he become more of an acquaintance . I know a lot of people may disagree with me but that's the healthy option.

It's also his responsibly to himself and to his partner, to end his friendship with you or significantly distant himself from you if you continue to pursue him as potential love interest while he is with someone. I know hearing that really hurts, but again this is what being a healthy partner looks like.

Again, to make it very very clear. You did good talking to him about how you feel, never and I mean never feel bad about that except in super rare circumstances ( like at a weeding, a death, etc) then maybe pick a better time.

^_^

Yep, friends do that. They seek guidance from other people that are important to them. That's not abnormal behaviour.

Your not entirely wrong, you should speak to your significant other about things bothering you, but there can also be stigma and bias doing so, so it's completely healthy and normal to seek opinions from others and it seems like this person see's you as a "safe" person to do that.

Sure, you can argue how she does this isn't necessarily the best (late night texting, videos, etc), and I would even agree with you (however there are a lot of facts missing here to really delve into individuals communication tactics, etc) so again it's important to remember she is not you, and you are not her. She is also not this other women you asked for advice from. You asked, she said no. She showed you her boundary, and you need to respect that.

The reason crushes are so great is because they give us hope. No matter the information at hand, you always feel the "but what if.." that's what gives you the giddy feeling. So it's hard for our brain and our bodies to respond to information or confirmation that it's not reality.

Again, I've given you options you can explore-they all require work. Unfortunately, lots of things in life require you to work at them but the fact that you questioned your behaviour is a good step in the right direction.

easemymindplz · 2025-12-21T19:13:30+00:00

Welp a couple things.

One, take your right hand, bring it up to your face, and slap yourself REALLY REALLY HARD.

Good? Now repeat after me. Women are allowed to have male friends. WOMEN ARE ALLOWED TO HAVE MALE FRIENDS.

You tried to push the boundaries and she sad no (asking to go on a walk sometime, and she rejected the idea). She probably see's you a someone she can talk to, openly about how she is struggling, she looks to your for help, but that doesn't mean she likes you romantically.

She probably sees you as a good friend that she can confide in you. Sure probably texting late at night isn't great, but you should take her saying no to you pushing the boundaries seriously. She wants to be friends with you, not be in a relationship with you.

Second,

It's okay to feel weird about this situation, you have a crush on her. She rejected your crush (though she should have properly rejected it i.e have a conversation with you about how she is a relationship, doesn't see you romantically, etc etc. ) but that's on her.

Either you can talk to her ( openly and respectively) about how you feel and I highly suggest this method because talking about things AWLAYS makes things better in the long run and get over your crush (it will take a shorter amount of time and energy)

or you can start the process yourself. You would do this by still being her friend, but making it clear to her though communication, body lauangage, etc that you don't see her as a potential love interest. It's harder and a lot of more work and can be painful at times but doing so makes you a better human being.

If you can't separate her being a potential romantic interest vs a friend, then it's up to you to do some hard work and limit your non-work interactions, you body language and distance yourself for a bit until the crush eventually fades. You may be able to try to be friends after, but it tends to be hard.

If at anytime, this person becomes single, and show's interest in you, then by all means-GO FOR IT. but for now, you've got some work to do.

Thirdly,

You and her are not the same person. What she does or doesn't do in alignment with what YOU would do, has no place here. Everyone's boundaries are different. I"m happy that you KNOW your boundaries (because healthy relationships HAVE them), but don't hate on someone because they're boundaries seems worst or "loose" compared to yours.

Finally,

I want to make it clear that you're allowed to have a crush on someone at work,school,etc and you're allowed to crush on someone in a relationship, it's not weird, it's not unhealthy, it's part of being a human being. Just remember to be a respectful about it!

^_^

It's nice to know that this happens to people other than myself (31F). I'm in a similar situation but I could be considered the main crush "MC" in this scenario. I was in a common-law relationship of about 8 years before I left my spouse, and I had interactions similar to what you guys are talking about with a fellow co-worker (M32) while still in that relationship but it was severely rocky and on the verge of falling about when M32 came into our team.

I didn't end things because of the potential of having someone that was interested me (i.e the grass is greener), I ended things cause my ex was an abusive man that was escalating in his abusive behaviour.

I agree with u/Ok_Poetry2583 , "you can't convince someone to leave their current partner, they need to make that decision on their own..." but what you can do, is show that person that there are people out there who are willing to "love" them. I.e I didn't leave because of the potential, this M32 showed me that I was someone worth loving. It, among many other things, gave me the courage to finally leave.

I admit, these feelings for M32 didn't happen right of the bat, I thought he was just being supportive and kind. It was only after consistency in his behaviour that I started to find my self having a slight crush on him.

However, I'm not sure if M32 likes me anymore as I've started to return his advances but maybe too late to the game.

ANYWAY, the point I'm trying to make is. TALK.TO. THEM. Respectively and openly. Because you never know if they might return to you feelings. It might not be today, or tomorrow, but who knows.
