I havr a crush on my coworker

[Anonymous]

I would never cheat and I still love my DH but this guy is handsome, intelligent, well-educated, has travelled the world and I find him to be charming, kind and decent. If I was still single and didn't have children I would pursue him in a heartbeat. I find myself thinking about him more the more I get to know him. I'm glad I don't plan to stay at my job for more than another year or so. I plan to avoid lunches, happy hours, etc with him b/c I think it is just inviting danger.

Advice? Similar stories?

Think about him in less than ideal situations. Taking a shit, letting farts out in bed, leaving dirty dishes and socks strung about the house.

Very good idea, I say this with experience.

You described my DH, OP. he's a great dad too. Stop fantasizing and work on your own marriage.

Thanks for bragging, stating the obvious and being judgmental all at the same time. What a trifecta.

Has worked and lived overseas; speaks a foreign language fluently. He is single BTW, so PP can relax that it's not her DH.

The odds of him actually liking and wanting to fuck you is slim to none, so think about that.

The Eurythmics nail it:

Travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused

I lusted after a few female coworkers, in my mind only. That workplace was not the place for romance at all. Too many ways for things to backfire and a gossip machine you could not escape.

I wish that were the case, but I don't think so. There are frequent invites to lunch and after work drinks, hence the need to avoid them. There is chemistry; that is part of my concern.

Stay away from any actual "hanging out" outside of work with no other co-workers and wait a while.....he's just a guy and I'm sure he has many faults like everyone else. If you love your husband, your feelings will fade and you won't even understand why you liked him in the first place.

OP here and I couldn't agree more. Neither of us would ever do anything. I don't want to ruin my marriage and as I originally stated he is kind and decent, so if he was inclined to make a move he wouldn't anyway. I am more concerned about the emotional ramifications and I don't want to start comparing DH to this guy.
