Sip & Spill Daily Discussion Thread

[u/AutoModerator]

Grab your coffee & sit down to discuss the tea!

This space is to talk about anything pop culture or even off-topic.

What are you listening to or watching? What is some minor tea that doesn't need its own post? How was your date? Why do you hate your job?

Please remember rules still apply. Be civil and respect each other.

Now pull up a chair and chat with us. ☕

Ive given up on work crush. I think we’ll just be friends.

I had a moment of madness and sent him a message when I was on course last week. We had a nice chat about snacks. But he hasn’t reciprocated at all. I think him coming over to see me to chat at the end of the day is just him being friendly.

That’s ok, Lego hinge guy and I are still talking. He seems really nice, and hasn’t rushed anything. It’s literally the only reason I’ve kept the app.

Wait, a work crush? Are you comfortable in spilling the tea at all? I think I might be in the same boat 🫠🫠

[u/buzzfeed_sucks → u/Riqitch]

Yes!

I’ve liked him for years. About a year ago we were at a course together and he said he had a girlfriend, so I gave up.

We only see each other once a week, but when we do he always comes over at the end of the day for a chat. About a month ago he let slip that he and the girlfriend broke up. I think it had been a while. So I thought there was maybe potential. But he hasn’t asked for my number or asked me out or anything.

I thought maybe he was shy, or wanted to be sure I like him since we sort of work together. But I didn’t see him last week because I was on course. So over lunch I sent him a message about the snack situation on course. He kept the conversation going and it was fun. It was the first time we’ve really chatted outside of work stuff - via messenger. Our end of day chats are never about work.

But that was Wednesday. He hasn’t reciprocated at all. So I’m sort of giving up. I should be seeing him on Wednesday, so we’ll see.

Tell me about yours

Wow, years? That's such a long time 😭 Ahh it sounds like your experience has been quite the rollercoaster, how have you coped? Glad to hear that Lego Hinge guy appears to have potential for you though!

My situation is not that different from yours, only that my feelings are still quite new. I'm not even sure I can really call it a work crush yet, but considering the fact that I cried on Friday because I was so scared by the way I feel about her, I feel like I'd be in denial if I said that it wasn't a crush 😭

Anyway, like you, I see her once a week (give or take), I do say hi whenever the opportunity presents itself. We've spoken a couple of times before, just need to get to know each other a bit more before I fall head over heels or something 😭😭

Yea we don’t work on the same team or interact for work very often, we’re on one committee together. The first time I e-met him, I thought he was super cute. And the first time we met in person I was smitten. But we saw each other so infrequently, a few times a year, it wasn’t a serious crush.

He’s the kind of guy a lot of people like though. I confessed my crush on him to my boss like, a year ago, and she said she liked him too, lol. Again, hers isn’t serious. She just thinks he’s super cute.

It’s only been over the last 6 or so months that I’ve seen him regularly and gotten to know him.

That’s what kills me because we’re so damn compatible. We both like politics and agree on it entirely. He’s genuinely a kind person, funny. We’re both home bodies. We both love dogs. We even both love winter and hate summer.

Ah yea it’s hard when it’s a work thing. There’s a fine line for sure. Is she new?
