Having a romance in the office is complicated, a romance with a boss can be more exciting but difficult to manage. A gay employee who has a crush on a boss and wants to attract his attention faces even more difficulties. Being determined to start dating his boss, he must first find out if he is gay or not to avoid awkward situations. This article can help you.
- First of all, it is important to remember that there is no universal sign that a person is gay. Don’t follow stereotypes. No matter how well you think you separate gays and straights, there is always a risk of being wrong.
- Don’t believe the rumours. No matter what is said about your boss, there is no confirmation. Another mistake is spreading rumors yourself to start a discussion about his personal life. It is a dangerous and totally unacceptable way to find out what you need to know. Not only do you run the risk of your boss finding out, but his colleagues may change his attitude towards you.
- Establish friendly relations with your boss. A person may want to discuss his sexual orientation only out of his own free will. Try to show that you are trustworthy and if one day he decides to talk to you, convince him that no one will find out about it in the company.
- Talking about personal life is not easy. It is a very specific and intimate question. If you feel that a person is hesitating, help him by revealing his own sexual orientation or at least giving him some clues.
- It is strongly recommended that you do not try to find out a person’s sexual preferences out of sheer boredom or for malicious purposes. Everything you do and say can come back to haunt you and later influence company-wide policy. Even if you are guided by romantic feelings, be very careful not to hurt another person.
- Why is the issue of trying to build relationships with your boss so complicated? Even if you feel true affection, you can easily go wrong. Any love story can turn life into a disaster. An employee is always less protected than a boss, so no matter what a love affair turns into, he takes more risks than a person in a higher position. If your work is important to you and your feeling is only mild interest, ask yourself if you really want to get involved.
