If Im not being clear, these are a BIG DEAL. 1. Now calling it a family emergency is a bit much, but plenty of people are sick and then end up enjoying themselves. I wouldnt last six months if it was every weekend, having done it for years before. I have made business contacts and developed relationships that have made coming into work a pleasure every day. Youre clear that you cant act on it and shes not interested, and that you need to have a working relationship with her, so why let attraction loom so large as this thing thats making it tough for you? Whether they stay together/keep dating or not depends on whether theres more there, but its not unusual for physical attraction and superficial social interactions to be the basis for an initial date. Once you do this enough and continue reminding yourself that they are off limits romantically, it should become habitual and you should be able to repair the relationship to a normal workplace one. #1 Ugh, I feel your pain. I feel much better about it now. I was on a three-person rotation for six years and it was still a nightmare. There arenot only do they have to get paid for the time theyre doing work (in the OPs case, answering the phone), they would have to be paid for time in which theyre considered to be engaged to wait.

Id be willing to bet that this manager was already messing with peoples schedules and hours (not approving requests for days off and being unforgiving about emergency absences).

You have to mention a couple of things in a certain order to draft an effective out-of-office message. Is this just one of those things that you have to be willing to do to get promoted? Yesit seems equally possible that the coworker may have noticed OP acting strange and actually been upset, or that she is completely oblivious to all of the micro-analysis OP is doing and hes inferring upset-ness where none exists simply because hes hyper-focused on tiny details and perhaps has a heightened concern for upsetting her. She just (possibly) looked upset. Yes. The classes that seem the most reputable, actually cost around $2000. Thanks for your perspective.

It sucks to be rejected, no doubt about it. But if its every weekend I wouldnt be happy either. The woman didnt write in for advice, the person who asked her out did, and he seems to be genuinely trying not to be creepy and awkward. Unfortunately, I need to inform you of my immediate resignation, effective [current date]. I know its easier said than done, but try to stop. This all probably means nothing and youll drive yourself crazy trying to read into it. If so, I hope this has been a learning experience for you! Good luck, my friend. Id just really caution you to make sure it is and that youre not allowing other people to make their problems your problems, because I think that can happen in dysfunctional or high drama work situations (which this sounds like, without any further information people are quitting over this?). OP, please talk to your boss about sharing\mitigating\ending this. She is a professional, she told you she is NOT interested, and you punish her for her honesty and professionalism by continuing to hyper-analyze her every movement. Knowing youre blind to social cues kind of makes you try to be hyper-aware of social cues (though it doesnt always help you to navigate them) and can make you pretty sensitive to how other people see you (because anxiety is a terrible monster full of downward spirals). Ive done it and meticulously crafted messages from very conscious guys do stand out in a negative way. There doesnt seem to be any pressing need for the OP to bring it up again, and it might have the opposite of the intended effect since the subtext could easily be Hey, I havent dropped this.. (Especially as she has been forthcoming and honest with you.). Be professional, stay away from social chitchat except for the how are you, hope everything is going well sort of thing, and sooner than you think, things between you should be more comfortable. 7.

To be fair I am having a hard time being friendly with her without feeling attracted. I think this is the biggest pitfall some people can trip into with things like this: they read everything a person does as the results of their own actions.
