Question - (5 November 2009) 1 Answers - (Newest, 5 November 2009)
A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I have had a crush on my boss for the past 8 months. I don't believe in having a work relationship so I have done nothing to pursue it. I would be willing to find a new job, its time for me to move up in my industry anyway, but I don't know how to tell if he would be interested in dating me. We work different shifts so I see him a few minutes before I leave in the morning. I have read up on body language and the signals you send subconsciously. (Feet pointing towards you, body parallel, etc.) He shows some of these signs but I am usually talking with him when I see him, so he is obviously going to face me. We think a lot alike and have the same sense of humor. We think so much alike that when customers ask a question when we are both there, we say the same exact thing at the same time. This has happened on a few occasions. They say opposities attract. Is that true? Do I have less chance of attracting him because we are so much alike? I should be able to answer my own question sense I am attracted to him even though he is not my opposite, but are guys attracted to opposities or people who think similiar to them?

Actually, I've heard that the whole "opposites attract" thing is bogus. Sure, we like some traits in people that we don't have because that is something that we may find admirable since we don't have those traits. However, people typically are drawn to someone that they have a lot in common with. For example, you. You've noticed that you two have things in common which is seemingly attracting you to him. There isn't a rule for everything and anything, but if you're interested in him and he's interested in you, then that's all that matters.
