The Guy That She Formerly Crushed On In College Currently Works For Her And She Has Some Serious Dating Advice For Women In Their 20s Based On Her Experience
A 30-year-old woman has some serious dating advice for women in their twenties when it comes to working with a former crush who might not have given you a second thought in the past.
Claire Parker (@clairethescare) shared a TikTok video featuring her former crush named Sam, who currently works for her.
Claire met Sam during her first year of college and developed a huge crush on him. At the time, he worked as a resident DJ at a high-class nightclub called 1 Oak, which she thought was extraordinarily cool.
They did not end up dating because, in Claire’s words: “He was too cool for me.” So what did Claire do instead?
She discovered her passion, focused on her career, and worked on self-improvement, becoming the successful woman she is now.
Twelve years later, she ended up reconnecting with Sam, and that is how he became her manager.
Claire is engaged to someone else, with absolutely zero romantic feelings lingering for Sam. But she is still mind-blown by the fact that he works for her now.
“Every single day, I wake up and think about the man I love, and he [Sam] thinks about me and my career and sends emails on my behalf,” said Claire.

Now that Sam is working for her, Claire points out that he is constantly thinking about her and how to further her career as her manager, as opposed to when they were in college, and she most likely didn’t cross his mind at all.
“And that’s how you play the long game. The goal is not to have them date you. The goal is to have them work for you,” explained Claire.
It’s funny how these things turn out. Sam may not have paid any attention to Claire in the past, but now he definitely is!
So don’t worry, ladies. If you’re feeling invisible to your crush now, just remember he may end up working for you someday.
Many TikTok users commented in support of Claire.
“Work on yourself until they work for you. Obsessed!!” commented one user.
“This is the most iconic thing I have ever watched,” wrote another.
