It's weird to me. I never thought I'd fall for a guy who was eight years older, divorced, had a son who is 5, and is my boss. He's 30 and I'm 22. He and I used to flirt and talk a lot. I left for three weeks and when I got back, he told me he missed me and he always makes me laugh. Our company forbids managers from dating non managers. Last week, I found out he got a gf. A girl that used to work for him. Now I'm that girl.
I avoid him now at work as much as I can. He says hi to me first and tries to talk. But I can't. I knew it wasn't possible from the start but I'm just hurt. And he has no idea I feel this way but even if he did, I can't date him. Is this normal? Really? Why have I fallen so hard for someone I'll never get?

Don't be afraid to go out with someone your own age and who you CAN have a relationship with. Love and dating is a scary thing, but you can't live without feeling, and you can't feel without the highs AND the lows. So take a risk and get out there. : )
