Well, at least it’s the unmarried one.
Is this normal?
I think he likes me, too, cuz he has a hard time looking into my eyes when he talks to me.
Is this gonna spell touble - I am pretty new there.
Mama mia, investment bankers can be hot! :o

Congratulations! I don’t think those particular words have ever been put together in quite that order before!
heh heh heh heheh.
titter
hehe, I now LIVE with my boss, so I say go for it!
'course, I’m da boss now. Things tend to work out that way.
I say play it very cool. There is an obvious attraction but you need to be very careful. You can piss off the other employees if he shows favoritism and you can get him in trouble. If you do see him. Keep it OUT of the office. You can both end up without a job.
Ask yourself this–“Where’s the nearest supply closet?”
Do not, I repeat, do not get involved. I’m not sure how long you’ve been in the investment banking industry, but things can get nasty, and powerball is typical. Do not, in any way, put yourself in a position to be bent, blackmailed, or otherwise treated differently.
This is one decision I’ve fairly glad I made. There was alot of nose candy where I worked, and I quite literally kept my nose clean. It sucked at first, but in the long run it paid off. I could mention 300 other situations where not getting involved was the right decision. It sucks at first, but I think it pays off.
I suggest you keep your crush to yourself and move along.
Just my humble opinion.
Oh it’s so not fun to be cautious. But then again, it’s so not fun looking for another job either.
Remember the gerbil rule of thumb: never eat and poop in the same place!
Forget the crush!

Okay, okay - I won’t act on it - I love this job and don’t want it to get messy.
But I will fantasize about us in the copy room!
hehe 
You’re treading on very dangerous ground. It may well be extremely disruptive to his team. At the very least, you need to go to HR and possibly your manager’s manager’s manager and inform them of the flirting. Your colleagues will have already noticed and if any preference is even seemed to be given to you, then the fur will fly.
Never underestimate the pleasure to be derived from a good, hard, innocent crush.
Once you have made up your mind that you are never ever ever going to act on it, you can have no end of fun gazing at him across crowded rooms, composing imaginary conversations where he confesses that you are his simmering sex goddess and he can’t keep his mind (or his hands) off you, plotting lurid activities in the copy room, etc.
In the mean time, don’t forget to get to know him as a person, not just as a hunk o’ burnin’ love.
I have a strict policy about not dating at work, and I have many innocent crushes that I would never want to fulfill, 'cause the crushes are much more fun than a complicated relationship that could crash and burn at any moment.
Ooohhh, be careful…
That said, when I my hubby and I met, I was his boss (actually his bosses’ boss). We’re no longer with that company, of course!
lola, I’ve had crushes on several people in “authority” in my past. Thank goodness I never made a move because after a year or so, I completely changed my mind about their hot-ness.
Give yourself some time. If you feel the same after a year or so, begin the… oh never mind, I have a feeling you know how to go about seduction.
Ya know, my boss doesn’t meet my eye when we talk either… Then again, he’s that way with everyone. It’s weird and annoying, and I most certainly don’t have a crush on him - ick!
Enjoy the fantasy, tho - and keep it out of the office.
Someone missed Monty Pthyon’s “The Meaning of Life.” Wait, that was insurance. My mistake.
Ah, boss fantasies… I’m going to second what everyone else said and suggest you keep it that way, a fantasy. In my cases both are married and have no particular interest in me. And there’s the whole age thing. :Sigh:
