I have a crush on my boss! Help! How do I get over this?
We live in different countries, so our only contact is via messages/calls. Nothing will come from this, so it’s just a case of getting over it. I am professional whenever I speak to him. I purposely speak to him as little as possible. I don’t engage in non-work related chat etc.
The problem is I find myself reading into his messages a bit much. He isn’t good at his job so I find myself really thinking through how I should navigate issues with him at times. It’s easier for me to raise things with other people for example. I think sometimes I’m worried about offending him, or being direct about the negative impact his actions has, in case he doesn’t like me. But if I had any other manager, I wouldn’t hesitate to have those frank discussions.
