Lusting after an inappropriate man - ridiculous situation.

I seem to have developed a strong attraction to a single, yet unsuitable man. The whole situation is mostly unworkable (work place issues amongst a few others), especially at the minute but I'm finding it really hard to back off.

We went for a drive last night and kissed but I have no idea how he really feels and I think that might be the reason I can't walk away. We've texted everyday since exchanging numbers, a lot of some flirty messages, some deep and meaningful and some random chat.

The only way to stop feeling like I'm losing my bloody mind is to cut contact, but I don't want to even though I can't cope with my over thinking and the inconvenient adrenalin rushes whenever he's near. Not sure why I'm posting, helped to get it out though Confused

Are you both single? If so, just see how it goes. If not, then cut contact.

You mean you snogged your boss?

He's single, I'm going through a messy separation.

No he's not my boss, we don't work together but his job would be an added complication - sorry very cryptic but I don't want to out myself.

Can you avoid seeing him? Or is he at your work?

CogitOCrapNotMoreSprouts · 31/12/2012 15:45

When you say 'messy separation' do you think your ex will make life difficult if they find out about you? I'm not really seeing how a single man that you clearly connect with emotionally and there's no conflict of interest work-wise is 'inappropriate' sorry.

Have PM'd you Cog. H isn't happy with the separation so can't imagine he'd be thrilled.

Bilbo - can't avoid seeing him!

Thanks for the PM. In your situation, rather than trying to drop the guy completely, I'd be exercising discretion. I'm sure you're both intellectually capable of being discreet...
