Is she hot?

likefunnysmarthelpful

You’re asking the right questions sir

I was is in a similar situation. She wanted to hangout one on one at a bar, she talked to me differently than the other consultants on my team and I felt a lot of sexual tension in general when I talked to her one on one, where we’d talk non work related for over a hour sometimes. She is a conventionally attractive blonde in her early thirties, but I’m not trying to get into any trouble this early in my career as a 23yr old black guy. And in my eyes, there are just too many single women out here to justify doing anything with a work colleague. Also, I feel that if it was a guy hitting on you, this thread would be a lot different, and they’d probably suggest to reach out to HR. So do with that as you will.

Based on comments seems like men can’t complain about workplace flirting/harassment. I would say try to avoid her and if she asks you out or something report to hr.

Yeah that’s excessive to tell hr if she asks you it.

I feel like no one's taking you seriously, when this is a an awkward (and real) problem, especially for men. I've kind of had the opposite happen (male manager) and I just made sure to only hang out in group situations, talk to other people in the group (that I really liked) and eventually I just switched jobs and ghosted him lol. Good luck OP, it's definitely a tough situation!

Don’t shit where you eat unless it’s a part-time gig. Had a lot of fun hooking up with the other lifeguards during the summers at the neighborhood pool, wouldn’t be as lenient in my professional career. There’s added complications if she’s your supervisor, wouldn’t open the can of worms until after the project is over at least

Is she married? Is she hot? Is she rich?

If you answer yes to any of these then full send.

If you’re into it lucky you, if you don’t like it, well you’re a male and no one wants to hear it sadly. I’d do your best to avoid her or only talk with her when others are present

I got a full time offer from the company I interned at this summer. However, I have been applying and interviewing at various consulting firms so far. Some of them I won’t hear back until September/October. Is it wrong to accept the offer and then reject it if I get a better offer? I don’t wanna burn a bridge with this company since I really enjoyed my experience there but I have to be smart with my decision since I graduate in December and need an earlier work start date.
