I'm 31 years old and consider myself very level-headed, but I've fallen hopelessly in love with my boss. He's married with two children but I just can't help loving him. I hate myself for feeling like this and I know this whole situation isn't doing myself any good, but how can I switch my feelings off? I really feel like "snaring" him. We flirt harmlessly and have a great working relationship, so what can I do? Flirting harmlessly and fantasising or having sexy and loving thoughts are one thing. Acting on them is a completely different matter.. Trying to "snare" your boss is something else again. Why do you think he would be snared? Has he been seriously coming on to you? Or is he, as you put it, just flirting harmlessly - which may just suit him fine. If the love is mutual, you would probably know it already. You have to tell fantasy from real love. You seem to have jumped from one to the other without having had any real experience with your boss. You'll need this to to be really in love. You say you have a good working relationship with your boss and from what you say, it seems that deep down, you do know that he is only flirting and that snaring him is unlikely. Try to enjoy this flirting with out getting yourself into hot water.
