| Unemployed-gal | Posted – 9/28/2007 6:04:23 PM | show profile I'm a temporary receptionist at this nonprofit organization, and I have the biggest crush EVER on someone in the office. He's the Senior Director of something or other, and his office is not 20 feet away from my desk, so I can see him from where I sit. Way, way, way too cute (oh, and he's single). I'm curious to know: has anyone ever had a crush on a coworker? Wanna share an experience? |
| mad fingers | Posted – 9/28/2007 8:08:02 PM | show profile Almost married one. We had this incredible chemistry going and were really good friends. I babysat him through a bad breakup, and he did the same for me. His mom, however, hated me (which was a big deal) and the chemistry fizzled. A great guy, though.... |

| Stephanerd3 | Posted – 9/30/2007 8:58:29 PM | show profile | email poster I've had trillions of office crushes! It's impossible not to, considering the fact that there's barely anyone you see more often than your co-workers (hell, I see them more than I see my husband!). That's why there have been so many mag articles on emotional affairs and whatnot. Tango magazine actually just had a whole spread on the subject. ------ steph - contains multitudes, yet still spends most of her time with the copy machine. www.stephiswrite.com |
| Janetblueyes | Posted – 10/1/2007 11:35:51 AM | show profile Hell Yeah I had it bad for a former editor of mine. He was a married absolute man-whore, but I would literally shake when he walked in the newsroom. I could see his desk from mine, and could spend hours watching the sunlight dapple off his freshly-shaven cheek. When he wore his denim shirt on "casual Friday" I would almost go into spasms. Realizing he had fresh prey, he teased and taunted me to no end. First came the casual touching which progressed to somewhat explicit emails. This went on for almost four years. I realized I was playing with fire and put an end to all of the nonsence, but not before a lively yelling match between the two of us to the delight of all the reporters in the newsroom. It was as close to having an affair as I'd ever come. To this day, many of the staff are convinced I'd slept with him. I kind of cringe when I think back on it. Occasionally he still emails me asking if I'd like to fool around. At this point in my life, I'm halfway tempted to say yes. Sometimes there is a chemistry that can't be denied, despite being totally unhealthy and potentially devastating. |

| keltoi2 | Posted – 10/1/2007 7:39:45 PM | show profile jbe, I'd find it far more entertaining to forward the lowlife's emails to his wife. You need a guy like that like you need a disease. |
| sue ellen mischke | Posted – 10/1/2007 9:59:11 PM | show profile jbe: i suggest sleeping with him and then never contacting him again. treat him like the man slut he is. and make him worried you're telling his wife because he hasn't heard from you. yeah...that's what i would do. maybe. |
| Janetblueyes | Posted – 10/1/2007 10:02:22 PM | show profile Being the uber-slut that he is/was, I'm not too sure I would let him near my honey pot. Not sure what kind of hive he stuck his nectar stick into, if you know what I mean. The last thing I need is a case of crabs. |

| keltoi2 | Posted – 10/1/2007 11:40:56 PM | show profile Life is also too short to take bad risks. |
| brooklynn44 | Posted – 10/3/2007 4:40:43 PM | show profile learning from experience... NEVER DIP IN COMPANY INK... ha. there's too many fish in the sea. |
| sue ellen mischke | Posted – 10/3/2007 7:57:30 PM | show profile keltoi...that's a good mantra...i like... |
| nandy | Posted – 10/6/2007 11:25:35 AM | show profile At least a dozen...but in my industry (design) it's hard to tell the gays from the straights sometimes. So I end up playing the game, "Are they or aren't they?" In my experience, after a while, fantasy is usually better than the real thing. NO ONE is as good as I can imagine them to be. LOL. |
| Unemployed-gal | Posted – 10/6/2007 7:54:19 PM | show profile Thanks! I agree--sometimes the fantasy is better than the reality. I mean, I'd never act on my crush, but it's all well and good to dream... |
