reader, anonymous, writes (8 April 2008): I have a crush on my boss too. It's so unrealistic that it is rediculous-yet the feelings are still there. I'm in my 30s & married with 2 young children. He is 2 years older with kids my age + a small child by a woman he's with. So, relationships, kids, boss/employee situation, & the big one is the age difference---so I KNOW in my head that it doesn't make sense and I'm probably just bored and the attention feels good, but yet I can't stop thinking about him. I make up reasons to chat to flirt to carry on... I just don't know what to do! I find myself wanting to express all this the next time we go on a conference together... But I know that I shouldn't.

You have to ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT he's your boss, and unless you perceive that he might like you the same way too, you shouldn't make it hard to yourself--move on.. look at the other guys around you. You could have a good friendship with your boss atleast.

Sometimes, it's best just to think of them as a brother or father (depending on their age). That way, they become more like family and you lose the crush naturally as you learn more about them.
That's my experience, anyway. I hope it helps!

take care

 Its never easy crushing on someone and the feelings are not reciproated. I think that you have got to just tell yourself that nothing could ever happen between the pair of you for various reasons. For starters he is your boss, and dating co-workers, espessially bosses can lead to lots of complications anyway. And he does not date the female sex as he is gay. I know its hard but you have got to just put him to the back of your mind and move on. If you find that you are unable to do this then maybe you should consider getting a transfer, or leaving this job.
All the best x
