Don't Crush Where You Work

Isn’t that advice a little too late for me? At my previous job, I not only had a crush on a (semi) supervisor, but I asked him for dinner and ultimately ended up sleeping with him. That was nearly a year ago. I’ve been better since then, keeping myself at bay by dating guys that aren’t even in my field. In any case, it is my own personal belief that “crushing where you work” is inevitable.

They say that proximity plays a large role in relationships and dating. My inclination to believe this stems from my last two boyfriends and crushes. All in close proximity. All convenient. All boosting my already devastatingly inflated ego.

The guy who sits behind me is adorable. He jokes around with me, and we have a similar sense of humor (as evidenced by our simultaneous laughter at Star and Bucwild in the morning). He’s this buff kind of short guy. To be completely honest, I wasn’t attracted to him until I -heard him on the phone. This guy is so tough; it’s just the sexiest thing I’ve ever heard. Then again, maybe I’m just horny. Also, to note, I’m hung up on flashing my six pack whenever I change into my gym clothes at work. Just to see what he does. I think he likes it. Who wouldn’t?

I vaguely recall hearing stories about couples that found each other through the throngs of co-workers that they were blessed with the opportunity to find their “soul mate” in the havens that are their workplace. Then again, what am I talking about? I don’t believe in the idea of “love” or “soul mates”, and no, that doesn’t make me a pathetic sad woman (notice I didn’t mention lonely). I am merely an avid supporter of Mr. (Dr.?) Darwin and his mysterious malady, evolution syndrome.

In any event, I would love to know what my fans (do I have any?) out in blogger land feel about this topic? I haven’t even fanned the topic of supervisor versus subordinate, but would be interested in hearing about that as well.
