confused feelings for a colleague - help!

[oopsadaisymaisy]

That's it in a nutshell really. I'm not sure what I feel for this person I work with. There's something going on but I can't quite put my finger on it. I think about him a lot and really care for him. He's not my type at all. He's quite immature, I don't like the way he dresses, he's emotionally immature, he's not the most intelligent guy. I don't think he's particularly handsome. But I'm strangely drawn to him and find myself getting involved. We've been texting each other and he's been offering to do things round the house for me. I'm feeling really really confused. I'd love someone to talk to about this, so if you think you can help, please respond.

Are you both single ?

Yes

but I'm his superior.

I mean at work not generally.

So what if you are his superior ?

Are workplace romances forbidden ? If so, then maybe you have a point

Why is it ok for a male boss to date a female subordinate but not the other way around ?

It would definitely be frowned upon. I'm much higher up than him and I have a position of authority. I don't think I'm so bothered about this. I just can't understand why I'm attracted to him. I wonder if I'm a bit desperate and he is the first guy in ages that has taken an interest in me. He's really kind to me.

I wouldn't go there then, if there would be disapproval

Your reputation at work is very precious, and shouldn't be squandered on a bit of a silly lad

Don't do it! Do you want to lose your job??

There's a whole world out there....

A whole world with very little men or the opportunity to meet men for me. You're right though, i shouldn't get involved with someone from work.
