Anyone ever get a work crush? I’ve recently worked with an associate who I just completely vibe with. We work together very well, and their is definitely a little flirting going on. Fortunately for me (I’m happily married), we’ve never met in person since I work remote in a different state.

Work wife/husband is the very worst term/concept.

So you’re asking if it’s okay to emotionally flirt with someone when you’re married?

I had a huge crush on the COO at my old job who I reported to directly. We ended up w/ multiple inside jokes and I was one of very few people whose jokes he’d laugh at. I was also one of like 5 people he actually talked to 😂 turns out theres a fair amount of overlap in our lives and have probably met before multiple times. I was crushed when he left, even though he made sure I was promoted beforehand

Definitely lol. She is happily married and not my type. But we get along and do work related things together (work events, training, etc). Mostly stuffs that get us out of actually working

Yup

Like you (happily married) but have this associate I vibe with hard. Have co located a couple times and I can tell she’s crushing (also the M on the engagement so conflicts all around). Have to be careful and make sure we do group things.

She out right told me.

I think this happens a lot, and I think there’s really nothing wrong with it unless and until you act on it. If you both know at least one of you is married and it’s all out in the open, that’s good. It’s just fun and innocent right now and keeps the work days interesting. Our industry attracts personable people who can vibe with others more easily, so that’s likely what this is.

That said, it’s easy for this to escalate and get into very morally gray territory. So keep the topics light and probably don’t go out drinking alone or something, and you’ll be fine :)

Maybe? Worked very closely with someone for six months on a project where we tag-teamed everything as a dynamic. We’ve since been put on different projects but still message each other daily, call one another a few times a week, and try hard to meet up when we’re both in town

Both of us are in long-term relationships (4 and 9 years), and while there may be chemistry, I think both of us are extremely conscious in keeping everything straight

My confession is that as a young guy, I want us to go back to the office so I can meet driven, career minded, attractive women. So tired of being catfished and all the other BS on dating apps.

Edit: to clarify, I don't mean hitting on women at work. I would just like to meet quality women, and I don't go partying or to bars. It's very hard as someone in their 20s coming out of a pandemic to meet people.

Hi all,

My boss makes jokes about me being from a different country whenever there is a work meeting or a gathering with coworkers, even though he knows where I am from. This usually occurs when I meet new work-related people or for example if I am in a situation that involves ethnic related subjects.

What is this? This is normal?
