Got a relationship problem? Jason Godfrey, our resident columnist and man about town, is here to help.
Q. “I have a massive crush on my boss – who is single – and I think he has feelings for me too. He often places his hand on my shoulder and we’ve exchanged several knowing looks. Should I let things develop, or is it off limits?”
JASON: “Are you certain about his knowing look? He could have just been a little gassy. Also, placing his hand on your shoulder doesn’t mean he’s a flirt. Maybe his back hurts and he needs extra support.
In any case, it’s not a good idea to date someone at work – especially your boss. If things go bad, and most times they do, it will irrevocably compromise work for you.
That said, if you feel a connection, go for it, but wait for him to make the fi rst move. Nothing’s worse than making a move on your boss and finding out his ‘knowing look’ is really just a lazy eye.”
