girl help: I was involved in an office relationship with a girl. - Help.com



This post left anonymously

I was involved in an office relationship with a girl.

She broke things off due to the fact that she does not want a relationship. Can anyone offer me any advice on how to act around her at the office. Im hurt but I want to keep my dignity intact. Im not looking for ways to make her jealous or cause her any pain. I just want to look good in this situation… Any advice?

Friendly and polite. How you normally would.

Not possible. When you “dip the pen in company ink” you’re on complete display. All your coworkers at this point know your vitals, fetishes, and proclivities. There’s a reason that just about everyone out there recommends strongly against office romances.

I suggest you don’t ignore her.. to me, that shows that it does in fact bother you. Just try to support her decision, and move on. Don’t talk about it, don’t start rumors, don’t be petty. It’s easy for this to start going the wrong way. Maybe just talk to her casually like nothing ever happened in the first place. Eventually you’ll get over her.

I agree… I only ignore her to protect myself. Im not being totaly obvious about it but I need to do it for a while. It’s not like she will come back to me so protecting myself is ok for a little while.
