Okay, well, here's the thing. Almost a year ago (it'll be a year in March) we got a new supervisor at work. He kind of oversees our whole operation when I work (indirectly). So I guess you could say that he is my sup. Anyway, I started liking this guy about a month after he started here, and through thick and thin, my feelings have never wavered. Because of the policies at work (with dating, etc.) the situation is understandably sticky. I am so serious about my feelings for him that I would quit my job and go elsewhere just so we could be together. We flirted pretty seriously for a while, and about 7 months ago a friend of mine took him aside and told him I liked him. (it was a guy friend). Judging from the reaction my friend got, all seemed well, but I knew from the get-go that this guy wasn't going to make the first move and that I had to. I don't blame him for not wanting to jeopardize his position, because he also has to think about sexual harrassment, etc. So, months went by and I continued to be too chickensh*t to say anything to him, ask him for coffee, out for a drink, whatever. At this past Christmas, however, my co-workers and I organized a staff party to which he came. While we were all there, another friend of mine asked if we had come together. I answered no, but asked her why she said that, and she said "'cause he keeps looking at you." This was very encouraging, however I screwed up and didn't talk to him after I'd loosened up from a few drinks, but continued my night of partying, and when it came time for him to go, I ambled over to him and put an arm around him and he did that same to me and we talked together and with a group of friends for a while before he left. If you didn't like someone that much, would you still watch them or put your arm around them like he did with me? My question is, we're having another staff party soon (2 weeks) and he should be there. Should I go for broke and talk to him and confess my feelings for him? HELP!! I need input, I need support and confidence.
