Let's say for example; you meet someone, that a family member knows of and tries to get you two to go out, and then turns out to be your boss later.

However, even though she's your boss, she's a totally different person away from work. She calls you everyday; talks about work, outside life, getting together, and much more stuff, for hours. You can't help but feel something is coming together, and then another hurtle to jump over comes around.

OK, if some of you remember, this is actually me and another co-worker. We meet earlier outside of work, through my dad, who really wanted to set us up. We didn't hit it off at first but now that we have gotten to know each other more, we've really hit it off.

Here is my chance to show how much I think of her; she's an amazing person. Very attractive, funny and fun to be with. She's also very assertive and aggressive. She strives to be a better person; taking classes while also having a real tough job. She's also a single mom and takes care of her kid very well. She invited me over one night; she was drunk. So, when in Rome... We both got drunk, stayed up to wee hours of the morning talking, playing games, and then wrestling, too. We passed out on the couch together and woke up in each others arms...it was just an amazing night.

But now the hurtle. Like I said, she has a really tough job. This week is very important week for her and I don't see us getting together any time soon to hang out with each other. That's not the hurtle though. I'm pretty sure we'll talk on the phone, or at least some nights, as she likes talking to me to relieve her stress. After this week, there is a chance she'll be getting the store; taking it over. This is that hurtle. If she takes that position, she won't have time for anything.

I don't know if the feeling is now 'she's out of my league', or just worried about something we might have had will now be gone. I don't want to sound selfish, I would love to support her anyway I possibly can. I don't know, I'm just very fearful of losing someone I grew fond of.

Well then why not just talk to her about it? Tell her this is how you feel about it. She may be having conflicting feelings about the possible step up too.
