I have a crush on one of my female co-workers. I am willing to just stay friends, though for a variety of reasons.
shareI always have a crush on somebody. They can be kind of fun. :)
I have a total crush on a female coworker right now. To my utter delight, I have discovered that she has a total crush on me too, and we’re becoming very close. I have high hopes that it’s really going somewhere!
shareBe prepared if and when things change. The rush of being in love is intoxicating, but at some point one person becomes more vulnerable to being hurt than the other. Try not to have a melt down if the other person wants change the relationship, because it's bound to happen. It might even be you who wants to move on at some point.
shareThanks! We aren’t exactly spring chickens. I’m 2 years out of a 17 year marriage, and she’s been married twice. I think we both have pretty reasonable expectations about how things are likely to progress.
shareWonderful ! I had a gf who was similar in age to me and I was just about to turn 50 and we acted like teenagers for the first year. We were having a great time until she suddenly realized she didn't want to be in a long-term commitment and neither of us had the sense and grace to get out of it with dignity. I wanted to hang on hoping she'd view me as a valuable asset and trusted companion, but she couldn't hide her misery at feeling obligated to entertain me. But on other days she'd brighten up and we'd enjoy some pleasant date or vacation. But eventually it felt like she started acting shitty toward me just to force the issue, so it was pretty ugly at the end.
She's a huge pot-head, so I don't think she thinks too straight, but when I'm a part of an emotional situation, I tend to lose perspective so I'm no saint either.
good luck
shareI have so many crushes on women I can't even keep up.
But this doesn't mean I want to have Sex with them. I just want them to smile and take notice of me.
If anything comes of that later, I'll be darn surprised, but might as well throw that bait out in the water.
