"Accidentally" slept with my boss (face palm)

[HaveILostMyMind]

I don't know what to do. I work in a smallish team and we all get on really well. I was at university with my immediate boss about 10 years ago, we knew each other, but not all that well and I hadn't seen him until I started this job last year. I have just come out of a 5 year relationship and he has been single for the last year or so since his engagement broke up. We were working late to meet a dealine last night and were joking around, I have no idea what came over us but we were both being a little flirty and we ended up kissing. I went back to his apartment and we ended up in bed together. I never do this! Now I'm really worried about seeing him at work on Monday. Should I just act like it never happened or try and speak with him about it? I feel like a total idiot, and can't believe I did this.

Go have dinner with him. Maybe there'll be fireworks....?

Yep, I'll get my coat for a bad Nov 5th pun

GO GO GO GO GO!! he sounds lovely...

What exactly is the problem here ?

On a practical note I hope you used contraception or get the morning after pill.

If it turns out to have been a mistake then you don't want to have an unexpected pregnancy to deal with.

On a relationship level just talk to him and see if it's likely to progress to a relationship for either of you.

YAY ! Go girl, he sounds really nice.
By the way, it wasn't a one night stand ! 😄

Have a great evening :-)))

Ooh he's cooking - how lovely very romantic

This thread made me smile.
Have a great time.

Well I did something similar and I am with him 18 years later! Don't ignore him and pretend nothing happened!! Why would anyone suggest that? Work relationships are exciting!

Have a great night

Inviting you to his for dinner sounds like he would like a repeat performance. Don't feel you have to rush into this if you're not sure what you want, you can always tell him you want to get to know each other better and see how it goes.
I do think it's best to keep it quiet at work though.

Good luck.

Don't play games by acting like it never happened. It did and you both need to know what it meant otherwise you'd better look for another job asap.

Sorry, didn't see update! Have a great night.

seems like he's quite nice and into you. before u take it further i'd talk about the professional aspects of ur relationship. if it's a small team ppl will pick up on the change in chemistry quickly. he is ur boss and can't give u preferential treatment, will u be ok with sleeping with him one minute and possibly being reprimanded by him the next.
i slept with a boss once. we never took our personal life into work and it worked for us. but there weren't really feelings involved. it was just fun.

I slept with my (temporary) boss18 or so years ago. We're married with two kids.
Just saying...

Seriously I do understand that rabbit in the headlights feeling, and the wondering about awkward complications, but for now see how it goes and all other bridges can be crossed later. Good luck tonight.

Awww. Cooking for you...
Awww that's just lovely that is

He likes you.
Put on your big girl pants, be honest about liking him, get over the one night stand 'shame' - there's nothing to be ashamed of. You enjoyed yourself and good for you.
Hope he's a good cook !

I accidentally slept with my boss after our Christmas night out, 13 years later I still am except he's not my boss anymore.

I hope you have a nice evening OP- let us know how you get on!

I agree with PP that the most significant thing is that you've known this man for 10 years he's not "just" your boss or a ONS it might work, it might not, but it's a great start!

Oh op I hope you're having a great evening!!

Oh this took an unexpected cute turn!

Hope you're having a fun evening, OP, and that you haven't eaten the poor chap yet. 🙊

did you go to dinner? What happened?

How did it go?

Shamelessly place marking to see if Op updates us all!
