writes: I am a successful hard-working journalist but I have gotten a hopeless crush on a rival at another paper.He's so hunky and in the newspaper there's lots of photos of him wearing a nice scarf standing by a bus stop.If I ever went out with him I don't know what people would say, as he works for our deadly rival. We all laugh at the paper and the reporters in the office but inside I am crying.I sometimes get jealous when I see that pretty press officers have sent him press releases.What should I do? Should I announce my love and face taunts from staff, and uncertainty from him, or should I bottle it and accept that, like Romeo and Juliet, love across the lines will never work?

Are you for real?? "Hunky"?? Scarf and bus-stop?
Why not pitch the idea - just an idea, obviously - as the basis for an article? See how everyone takes it. You'll soon get the gist.
No, I think someone somewhere is having a little joke ;)

 You are hard working and successful at your job so I would keep your crush to yourself...I am sure you know how office gossip spreads like wild-fire. It doesn't sound like you know this guy too well and he may have a personality like a brick so stop conquering ideas that he has a charming charisma to go with that charming body. Even if you got to know him, dated etc...the powers that be in your company may take a very dim view of that. It is a question of priorities - you have some certainties in your life (i.e. a good job) and some non-certainties (i.e. that the guy would like you, that he is single, that he is willing to date a girl from another firm, that it would work out long term)...I know where my priorities would be, only you can decide about yours...
