Is it possible for one to have a crush on someone they only met once and have not seen in months? I am asking for a friend. She keeps telling herself that she is perfectly happy with the guy that she is seeing. She keeps telling herself that having a crush on someone for this long without seeing them is goofy. She keeps telling herself.
I personally think that she should just invite him out somewhere with friends. How hard could that possibly be? Organize a brunch or happy hour and invite him. Heck, I would do that for her. She just has to invite him. I cannot reach out to a total stranger and extend the invite without that being totally weird.
I may just schedule a brunch for next Saturday to figuratively rip the band-aid off. What I am not sure about is how she should go about inviting him. She has two options – Instant messenger at work or LinkedIn. Those are two bad, bad options.
They work together? Sort of, not really. It is a large company that he happens to work at. Actually, that is how they met. But, their roles in the company are completely different to the point that they have only met once. I am not worried about the work factor.
I am worried about the “rules” of professionalism and dating. One can almost NEVER used LinkedIn or Teams to pursue a romantic interest. I am not sure how to advise her on this. I guess if those are the only two options, LinkedIn would be the best option.
I am curious to meet this guy. What is so special about him? Is it possible that my friend found love at first sight, or does she just want what alludes her? Hmm….Let’s find out, brunch invite coming to friends near me.
