I'm an idiot!

[ProfessorPickles]

I've been happily single for a good 6 months and I was really enjoying it not having anyone else to please, it made a nice change!

Everything was going fine until someone new started at work and now I am infatuated with him. I'm sat feeling sad and impatient because he isn't replying to my text, he makes me feel like a school girl

I get so nervous around him at work, he's just so lovely!
The reason I am an idiot is that even if he said we should be together it would be a no as I want to be alone

So basically I'm fed up because I like a man I can't have but even if he liked me I'd say no anyway! Can anyone see the logic in this?! I bloody well can't

Wait until you leave. Pursue casually. Enjoy. It'll fizzle out nicely if he's an okay guy and you're up front about just wanting to keep things low key and he's agreeable.

No harm done, really, even if things get a little messy. It's not like you'd be losing a long friendship by testing it out a bit.

If its all so good why are you asking if youre an idiot then? Just saying.

All you have done in this thread is jump to conclusions out of nowhere including saying I'm a "victim" ???
I don't understand why you're being so negative and even a little confrontational ending comments in "just saying".
Are you wanting a reaction Tinks?

tinks the op didn't actually ask if she was being an idiot. And why post a comment like that 2days after the last post?

Firstly, it was the title????

Secondly, Im not on here very often.

OP, Im not here wanting a reaction, Im just saying that in my experience (just mine, no one elses of course) if a man you see at work likes you then I think he should man up and ask you out instead of hiding behind texts, it seems odd to me and I personally would wonder what he was doing.

If you're going to be leaving anyway, then you will be having a leaving do (if you weren't planning one, you should now), where you can snog him madly.

I like a good workplace crush. Brightens up the day immeasurably.

yeah me too, as long as it isnt me in the broom cupboard

I've definitely been thinking about the leaving do

I've also had confirmation he does like me from our manager of all people! I have been talking to him this morning and I could tell he was happy to see me

I'm going to tell him how I feel soon!
