Okay at my job, I like my manager.... he's metrosexual, and of course we have that fratnerization rule. But anyways, he found out (not from me) that I like him, and he said he likes me too, but when I am around him, I don't feel like he likes me... I mean yeah he still laughs at my jokes and things like that, but he also said that if he wasn't my manager, he'd talk to me.... so I dunno if I am wasting my time, or if I should go ahead and keep talkin to him (promotions are in April, so if I do get promoted, I can talk to him...) so what should I do (and apparantely, he likes this other girl who's a manager, but she said she's over him...)

He can ruin your job aand everything, plus hes metrosexual!!! << Thats alittle weird because when hes flirting w/ you, at night he might be flirting w/ a guy! But you can still talk to him :) So those are my reasons why i say no!
hope this helps!

You know how guys are, he'll get what he wants and then not talk to you again. How weird would that be!?!? and he's your manager!
Find someone else, or if you think it will really work out with him find another job. You'll be glad you did.
karenR answered Monday March 28 2005, 12:42 am: If anyone guessed that you guys liked each other you could both get fired.That is probably why he has kept his distance. I don't see the rules being diffrent if you do get promoted. usually they don't want employees dating if they work in the same building not just between employee and manager.May not be the case where you work but be sure.
If he likes another girl who works there he may be hard catch, even if SHE is over it.You basically need to figure out if you two dated and had a bad break up would you be able to continue to work in the same place without it being a problem to get along and also not make the other employess uncomfortable around you both.

Miss_Lily answered Monday March 28 2005, 12:20 am: Never mix work with pleasure. It would not be a wise decision to date anyone that works with you. Your company policy strictly prohibits you and him from dating. If you tried to sneak around and do it and someone on a higher level finds out, then you would be the one most likely to loose your job for the simple fact that he is a manager and a more valuable asset to the company. You might be wasting your time in ths situation because it sounds as if he takes his job seriously. There is a chance that you could get passed up for a promotion this time around, making for an akward situation between you and him if you did continue to flirt with him. I also noticed that you stated that he likes another girl. Just becasue she is over him, doesn't mean that he is over her. Take this guy as a lost and try to find someone who does not work with you.

RoadkillSalad answered Sunday March 27 2005, 10:03 pm: I'm assuming you're a girl, right? Just try to do the best you can to get him to like you, don't rub it in or look like you're trying too hard, because if you do, you are trying too hard. Just go for it, try to get that promotion, and show him that you love him in a subtle manner. [ RoadkillSalad's advice column | Ask RoadkillSalad A Question ]
Sherry answered Sunday March 27 2005, 9:31 pm: Maybe he doesnt really act like he likes you because he's shy or doesnt want you to get in trouble. If he likes you, he likes you...but about your job, I dont know how your going to go out. But you can always be good friends! I think you should just find a new guy to like but stay good friends with your manager. Or if you really wanna be with him, quit your job. I hope whatever you choose turns out for the best.. good luck..keep me updated if you can! [ Sherry's advice column | Ask Sherry A Question ]
