I have name changed as i really don't want to be outed. I work very closely with my boss and have a good working relationship.

Just recently though i find myself losing concentration in meetings because i am looking at him and bloody dreaming about him at night.

I feel like i am a teenager again and it is really affecting my work. It wouldn't be so bad if i didn't have to work with him nearly every hour of the day.

I am seriously considering looking for work elsewhere.

Ah good luck mate!

Keeping everything crossed. Just play a teensy bit hard to get, it will add to the sexual tension, make him really want you bad grrrrrh.

Can't you say to him as its a bit cold you suggest room service instead Grin

Bogeyface · 26/02/2014 19:48

Just had a thought,.....you havent posted using your work internet have you? Shock

MerryInthechelseahotel · 26/02/2014 20:17

cant you say to him as its a bit cold you suggest room service instead.
And that you are really sorry but the hotel laundry lost all of your clothes except some sexy lingerie

And you are slightly hard of hearing so could he sit really really close Grin
I, too, hope this is not on work computer

No not on the work laptop. I am using my phone mainly and I also have my tablet with me.

I have just returned to the hotel. I completely messed it up. He said he had noticed that I have been flirting with him and I was panicking he was going to say he was not interested so I said that I was just being friendly etc... And he said that it is a shame as although he is worried about work relationships - he does like me.

I just froze and nodded and felt like I couldn't go back on it.

text him, tell him the above. Your audience can't afford for this to fail now Grin

BitOutOfPractice · 26/02/2014 20:46

OMG! What did you say back?!

AdvicePlease1709 · 26/02/2014 20:49

Nothing I literally nodded and he told me not to feel guilty about it and we pretty much drove back in silence. I wish I wasn't so bloody shy

Just read all your post..............! text him back nowwwwwwww and say you do really like him tooo, DO IT!

BitOutOfPractice · 26/02/2014 20:52

SEnd him an email! A text!! Anything!

Say "Look I was pretty much the rabbit inthe headlights when you spoke to me the other night about "us". Maybe we could discuss the subject again over a drink, out of work hours and constraints x"

Twinklestein · 26/02/2014 20:55

OP - was he definitely saying that he likes you in that way - or was he he saying - noticed you flirting - I like you but don't do work relationships...

AdvicePlease1709 · 26/02/2014 20:55

Ok so I'm thinking because we also got the business today. I could get some champagne from the bar and take it to his room to celebrate and just tell him?

I don't know what is wrong with me because my biggest fear was that he wouldn't feel the same and then I am still worried about saying anything.

OP posts:
fortyplus · 26/02/2014 20:55

For goodness' sake - text him!! He'll love it that you've stayed professional and rather sweet and shy. Just say something like can we meet for coffee to have a chat about something other than work and see how it goes?

fortyplus · 26/02/2014 20:56

XP - no not Champagne - that's far too obvious! Grin

AdvicePlease1709 · 26/02/2014 20:56

I'm pretty sure that is what he was saying as he said it was a shame I wasn't being flirty. That would be embarrassing if I have read that conversation wrong!

BitOutOfPractice · 26/02/2014 20:57

nomorebooze · 26/02/2014 20:57
