Max Lifestyle: How to deal with an office crush

Are you wearing your best clothes to work all of a sudden? A crush on a coworker can do that to you.

So is your crush on your colleague the start of something new? Or is it something that’s going to get you demoted?

Let’s take a look at what you need to do when you realize you are crushing on a colleague at work an avoid any “Ebang” situation.

1. It’s not based on superficial reasons. If you think you have a crush on a coworker because they wear that perfume you like or because they always have their hair done a certain way, think again. If it’s just because they look good and wear nice clothes, it might not be the strongest crush. However, if you like multiple aspects of their personality and love spending time with them, you might have something on your hands.

2. You can imagine a relationship together. And we’re pretty sure you already have. How’d that fantasy trip to Venice with your work crush, that you made up in your head, play out? Are you dreaming about lying down next to this person, watching Netflix on a Sunday afternoon? You’re smitten, and not the fleeting kind.

3. You want your office crush’s attention. We’re pretty sure you’ve bought a bunch of new clothes, your shoes are sparkling clean and you’re always wearing that new perfume/cologne. Your wardrobe has definitely benefited from this crush on a coworker (though your bank account might not be too happy). You might even try getting into that thing your workplace crush is into, so you always have something to talk about. When you’re trying to get their attention so intently, it’s definitely a sign you have a crush on a coworker.
