What would you do if you started developing feelings for a colleague? I recently (earlier in the year) went through a breakup of a long term relationship but shockingly got over him pretty quickly once I moved back home and on my own. I started developing feelings for a colleague about a week or so ago mainly because he ticks off a few of my boxes and is just SO easy to chat to and get along with. Is it too inappropriate to try to get to know him more? We’re also friends on social media

I’d go for it if you’re not going to be working together for much longer- should things not go as intended. I’d love a spicy office romance right now, would bring some life back to this covid dating graveyard.

Thanks for the advice! I laughed so hard at your last sentence 🤣

How closely do you all work together? Meaning would it be awkward to work if things didn’t work out? I say go for it otherwise. We’re all adults. It’s weird times and probably hard for him to meet people too. Why not go for it?

Occasionally, not on a daily basis but probably a weekly or biweekly basis. He’s not immature so if it didn’t work out I don’t think he’d be a brat in public about it.

I want to go for it but I guess I’m afraid of rejection and/or just catching him by surprise SO MUCH that he never reacts

Definitely recommend going for it, hopefully he is mature and won't make if a fuzz if he's not interested, but let's hope there's something there! Good luck OP!

Are either of you ever supervising or managing the other at work? If so, go for it carefully and if not just go go go!

Monday Morning rumination: unsolicited advise is criticism.

Much to reflect on with this topic. Last week I was told in a 1:1 with a new contact that I was “too direct”. After some time chewing on the conversation I was struggling to place the emotions I was feeling. Turns out I was feeling guilty and shame for being me, for taking up space. Lesson of the week: unsolicited advice is a criticism of you, a micro aggression of who you are, and being “too much”. What would you do??
