He is my junior and he works for me. We have only met once. But we have talked virtually everyday for 2 months now. He shows himself off as somebody who is quite accomplished, actually we have never really talked about anything else but him. He also tells me that i am amazing and beautiful, and the best thing that has ever happened to him. He says he cannot "lose" me. and then he tells me that he has a crush on somebody else. He asked me for advice as to how to ask out his crush.
I am so very disappointed to know that he has just been playing with me, and i don't want to talk to him. I want to avoid him but i also have to work with him. what should i do?

You are going down a slippery slope having a relationship with someone you work with. You are putting yourself a bad situation on two fronts. First is could effect your employment in a negative way and the 2nd is lose your heart to guy that seems little unstable or is a player. He says you are beautiful and cannot live without you and then he ask you advice on how to ask someone out he has a crush on? Really WFT? You need to move on.

He works for you? You met only once? Only talk about him? Has a crush on someone else? Cannot "lose" you(r paycheck)?

I don't get it.

Just vague enough to be annoying.

Yeah bizarre.

She/he hardly knows him but gets into some sort of weird emotional tangle with him...AND she's his boss.

I smell a rat...

Do you have to see him often at work? You said you've only met him once. Unless you have to work closely together and communicate extensively, your best bet is to just ignore him as much as possible.

Things will probably cool down eventually, after some time has passed. In the mean time, move on with your life and if he tries something with you again - shoot that sucker down, he seems emotionally unstable.

1. Work on your self esteem.
2. Stay focused on your work.
3. Save your romances for off hours.
4. Be wary of guys that use lines on you, tell you they cannot live without you and then get your advice on other women they are interested in.
5. Let this be a learning experience for you.
6. Move on.

What does "we have only met once, but we've talked virtually everyday for 2 months now" mean? Are you spending daily phone time with this guy? And what does "you're the best thing that ever happened to me" and "I have this huge crush on someone who's not you" mean?



This can only end badly. Maybe he's buttering you up as job insurance. Obviously, he doesn't see you as a potential romantic partner.
