I just started working at a clothing store 3 weeks ago and since then I've been developing feelings for my boss. I know it's wrong and really unprofessional but i just can't stop thinking about her. She's only probably like 4 years older than me.. And I'm pretty sure she rolls that way, it's just that this crush on her effects my work because I can't help but get nervous around her. I even got so jealous when a random customer asked her for her number :icon_sad: :icon_redf (the customer was an older woman) I think she knows... Like I think I make it so obvious. (Especially with how red I get) The other day I was learning the register and she comes out of nowhere and smiles at me and says "Good job Kelly, I'm so proud of you" (kind of like in a taunting way) Then I screwed myself over by blushing fire truck red and trying to giggle a little. Which made it WAAAY more obvious. Anyway I have no idea how to deal with this... I can't switch locations and I definitely need the money. This is also my first time having a crush on a girl.... Any advice?
Just give it time, sometimes you think you crush on someone but you actually don't or it just doesn't last long.. Anyway, it can't be worse than me, I have a small crush on one of my teacher.. She's probably like over 30 but she has one of those smiles... And those eyes. And she's so cool Aaaaaaaand I'm gone now. Good luck with your boss! You never know.. maybe she has a thing for you too 4 years, that's nothing.
Even if she did (which I doubt she does... Yet I'm still hoping anyway) She's REALLY proffesional and even mentioned before that work and pleasure don't mix :/
I've been in your position before.. my advice is just roll with it - don't have any expectations, and have fun.
In my opinion, work and relationships shouldn't mix. If you can't switch jobs I'd say wait until you can find somewhere else to work before starting something with your crush. I'm in a similar position, except I'm the boss (well, superior) and he's my subordinate. We fooled around a couple times and are very much into each other but anything other than some flirting at the elevator is out of the equation as long as we continue to work together. To me, it's just unprofessional. Perhaps you think a potential relationship with your boss is more important than your job. If you do, I'd say go for it. But if she already said that work and pleasure don't mix, just wait until you find somewhere else to work and then ask her out.
