Trying not to be obsessed but losing!!! :-(
Hello everyone
I am new to this board, but have been reading others comments etc and thought it would be a good place to post this dilemma I am having. Hopefully maybe someone can help clear my head....
Ok, I think I have a massive crush on my boss. I am working as admin support to someone temporarily for 9 months. He is about 20 years older than me (i'm in my 30s) and at first I never looked at him like that at all. Then one day I got a bit of flirty attention from him and Bamm!! I am thinking about him pretty much 24/7 - obsessive much??
anyways, he is pretty much very happilly married and I think he got the impression that I fancied him cause all of a sudden he came to work and mentioned "my wife and I" in a conversation, after being cold with me all morning - talk about embarrassing!! And since then I have been so careful not to let him think I am crushing on him, but I think he still thinks so (or it might be my paranoia). I feel so flat about the whole thing. before it was actually making me feel so high to think this high-powered man might be attracted to me, and now it's like "borrrrring".
the other day he was being very friendly with one of the other women (who I suspect fancies him too) and it made me so jealous - how pathetic is that? It's actually making me grumpy in the office and annoyed because he won't ask about my weekend or any other personal conversation (he did before) cause I think he is avoiding me thinking that he wants me if that makes sense.
I also get the impression he is mocking me cause each time I turned round to ask him something yesterday (I sit right in front of him) he looked like he was on the verge of laughter - Yeah great, laugh at me then why don't you!!
Anyways I just wanted to share that I hate feeling like this and him rebuffing me has actually made me feel unattractive whereas before I was buzzing and felt very attractive - how sad is that??
How can I stop crushing on him when I work nearly 8 hours a day near him?? Anyone had this experience?

I think you've answered your own question really - he sensed you fancied him, needed to let you know he was unavailable in that way so throws his wife into the equation!
We can't help who we fancy but we can help what we do about it.
In this case don't do anything - just your work. He won't be laughing at you am sure - if anything he will be flattered but be he has done the right thing in putting you straight. Of course, he is going to distance himself if he sensed you had the hots for him (shows he is committed to his marriage) but that doesn't mean he is mocking you.
