She Slept With Her Boss And Admitted She Was Falling For Him, But Then He Ghosted Her
This woman started a brand new job a year ago, and as soon as she met her boss, she was immediately enchanted by him.
He was the one who approached her first, and he made it quite obvious to her that he was totally single.
“I communicated professionally, but he may have guessed that he caught my eye,” she explained.
A couple of months into her career, her boss actually came to her rescue in a big way. She had one too many drinks at an office party, and she wasn’t in good shape after that.
“[I] ended up at his place, but he did not take advantage, which, seriously, made me fall a lot harder for him. We began talking,” she said.
Several weeks went by after the office party, and she did end up sleeping with her boss. She could tell he was struggling with allowing himself to get so close to her.
She says that, ethically speaking, he really should not have slept with her. She resisted his charms but then completely fell for him.
“It was his decision, too, but I feel like a creep. I crossed that boundary. Afterward, I confessed that I was falling for him, and he encouraged it,” she continued.
But then, her boss ghosted her out of nowhere, and she thinks that he had a couple of reasons for doing so.

The first reason is that their hookups were super awkward to the point it made her feel juvenile and like a teen.
Her boss is in his 40s, and she’s in her 30s, so she’s not sure if the age gap contributed to their strangeness in the bedroom.
The second reason is that she knows her boss is terrified that she could file a report against him for sleeping with her.
The third reason is that she doesn’t find herself interesting in the least, and she likes to be very private, but her boss is the opposite. He’s outgoing and social and way extroverted, which doesn’t speak to compatibiity.
And the final reason is money.
“He’s financially better off than me, but I can see that he’s a bit scared of depending or sharing himself financially,” she added. “I can hold my own, but okay.”
“Honestly, I have this gut feeling that he is genuinely attracted to me, but he’s bent on keeping his liberty and stability.”
“It just hurt me that he slow ghosted and then stayed away. I was mortified, so I transferred out of the department.”
Although she no longer works with her boss or speaks to him, she can’t stop thinking about him at all. She still has feelings for her boss.
What do you think she should do?
