A female United Kingdom age 51-59, anonymous writes:

I started a new job about 8 weeks ago. I noticed my boss giving me eye contact. He then gently touched arms with me a few times and I was flattered by the attention. My job involves being out at night in a club together and one night he was definitely flirting with me. However he left early and the next day he mentioned that he had a wife. Unfortunately I think I have become infatuated with him. I know this is a natural reaction and I'm wise enough not to act on it and I have tried avoiding standing anywhere too close to him. I do not want to get involved with him. I could eaisly change jobs to avoid him altogether.But I would like to know if there is any way to break the infatuation process as I am still grieving for a past lover who died and im not ready to have these kind of feelings for anyone yet, married or not.

Collaroy agony auntHi,

First let me say how sorry I am you lost your partner.

This guy is a predator and you are vulnerable, just remind yourself what type of person hits on a work colleague while their wife sits waiting for him at home.

That should do it . Good luck and all the best for your future, I hope you end up meeting someone who will show you the respect you deserve.

If he becomes even more "friendly" and its easy to change jobs, do it and let everyone know what a creep he is.

All the best, and good luck.

dapone 1 agony auntHello.

I am sorry for your loss, i think you should tell your boss that you have lost a partner, and you are not ready for another relationship, also inform him that you do not date married men any way, if he persist on this course of action them maybe for your own sanity it would be best if you moved on from this situation,you must remember infatuation is not the same as love and because you are still in shock at the loss of your partner it is too easy to confuse the two,and easy to become infatuated with some one who shows you kindness, for your own sake please try not to make this mastake.

I wish you well,and hope everything works out for you, good luck.
