Springsummer Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Took sick leave on late Feb.( Due to issues and conflicts with manageme) Then before I can go back to work in mid March, every one work from home due to the pandemic. I don't think I will ever go back. Now I have accepted an opportunity to work in another department at a higher level. It does take awhile to get the paperwork done though. It also means I will never see the person I have attracted to for two years. Sad. No more chance for me to try anything. Don't recall running into him since the beginning of this year though. People still use the same communication tool to connect off the VPN though. People can chat , video and work together...I searched his name, there he was...but I dare not to click on it. Don't wanna appear to be crazy. sad. Nothing I can do now but bid adio silently in my heart. If I knew I would never go back again, maybe I could have thickened my skin to do something?

basil67 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Congratulations on your promotion. Try not to dwell on the 'what if's'. For all you know, he could have had a partner or perhaps isn't a good guy. But yeah, do learn from it and if there's someone you're attracted to again, smile. Be warm and friendly and get to know them. Good luck. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
mark clemson Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Gotta strike while opportunities last. They seldom last forever. Perhaps the next go round will be even better, who knows... 2 Link to post Share on other sites

basil67 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Exactly. Looks may be attractive, but it's only the wrapping to the whole package. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Realitysux Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Yea but attraction means nothing. Even if you are the most attractive then there will always be someone better. You should follow your gut as to why you didn't want to connect with him in the first place. Your gut is usually right! Link to post Share on other sites

I wasted 7 years on someone who if I could go back, would not give the time of day to. I'm on my way to work and I am with this guy I had sex with three times but I don't want to anymore. I ended up in such a bad spot because of this exact syndrome. The grass is never greener! I am going to be much better moving forward , now that I know this! Link to post Share on other sites
