I have a wee crush on one of the partners in my firm and I thought he liked me too, but neither of us did anything about it (which is entirely appropriate). That was all pre-Rona. Now I’m leaving the firm and pursuing another opportunity and staying in the same city. Since he’ll no longer be my boss, is there a way to find out if my feeling was correct? How should I go about this? (Especially given Rona?)

You are potentially about to live the dream 😂 I have the biggest crush on my boss. Can’t tell if it’s just because the authority is hot.

Give him your personal contact info, keep in touch, and once your area is safe for social outings, invite him to drinks or out for coffee and see what happens. 🥂

If it was more than an infatuation, you’ll probably hear from him. You could also reach out, but with COVID still being a real danger, it would be difficult to transition flirty conversations into an IRL date, which may prematurely snuff out the expectant sparks. But you never know until you give it a shot!

SM1, the examples are just “certain types of vibes” because of course nothing tangible happened while I was working there. So I could be completely wrong! But I just want to test the waters. I’ll get over it quickly if nothing happens. Will take your advice, P1. Thanks!

Don't be shy OP! Before you head out just have a chat with him, say thanks for everything and you'd like to keep in touch. Open up after you leave so you can let him know you were being professional on the job but would love to connect and explore this further if he felt similiar feelings. You won't know if you don't try!

Im worried it'll just make things worse since none of it is "wrong", just rude and insensitive.
