Does anyone else think that it is only natural for you to be attracted to your boss?
I've never had a hot boss, so no.

Yes, some do like to dally with the help, but it will lead nowhere for you. It's her ego on overdrive. Be kind to her.

I think this too. She just seems so much more relaxed than my co-workers.

I wasn't planning to try to date her, I know how to keep it professional.

It just struck me as odd that my attraction to her just seemed so normal, even though she is so much more older than i am

I have had this happen to me, but with co-workers not bosses. There has been so much mutual attraction between my past co-workers and I but i never asked them out

Then on the other hand, it can be the best thing that ever happened to you. Twenty years ago I was my wife's boss. After three weeks of being such I asked her out on a date. We have been together ever since that first date.
nice story!

I've had bosses and coworkers attracted to me. Big sign: always finding reasons to touch you. I just flirt with the coworkers I am attracted to,

Most of my bosses have been female and I am straight so, no, it's not expected for me. The one time I did have a male boss, he was constantly in my face.

No.

I've never had a thing for a boss, but most of my bosses have been middle aged women.

Are you expected to be attracted to your boss? Lord I sure hope not!

this happened to me recently on back to back days. two female co-workers recently hugged me even though they had never done so before. a 28 year old, and a 39 year old. They initiated it too, by walking over to my area, just to do that.
