He is close to 60 and I am 40. I know what you\u2019re thinking. That nothing is wrong, right?<\/p>\n<p>Well, everything is wrong because he has a wife. But Bella before you blame me, please know that he flirts with me a lot. Always asks me if I have lunch or asks if I am alright whenever I look sick at work.<\/p>\n<p>He even asked me to do overtime sometimes when he is alone at work. I cannot say he has disrespected me but I think his little acts of kindness is an indication he likes me.<\/p>\n<p>And these days I find myself always wanted to be all made up at work and spend a lot of money on new uniforms. He gives me lifts sometimes when I work late and would make statements like \u201cyou need to get a car\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>I look forward to going to work, Bella. It excites me knowing that I get to see him.<\/p>\n<p>I am single.

And it would be better for both parties if this is indeed misjudgment on your part. But if it is not then it means you could be weaving a destructive device.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily for you,&nbsp;it&#8217;s early on and you have the time to put an end to it.<\/p>\n<p>If he actually is interested in you and obviously, you him &#8211; there will either be an affair, which will end badly, or a divorce, which is no fun at all.<\/p>\n<p>Or you will be incredibly frustrated.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t forget that being in an affair inside a corporation can reflect badly on you and your career at that firm.<\/p>\n<p>Be thankful for this crush however.<\/p>\n<p>It alerted you to the fact that you\u2019re ready to have someone more emotionally available in your life.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s a good thing.<\/p>\n<p>Best<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bella<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Have a problem?
