elg Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 Hi everyone I am a 32 year old woman, who is hugely attracted to her boss at work, who is 45 (unattached). My question is this...is it true that when you like someone, you use their name a lot??? He forwarded me an email he had sent another manager..it was only 2 lines, but he used my name a lot, instead of just using it once then using "she" after that - it read really weird as it seemed like overkill re typing my name. Is this a good sign? Link to comment
Seraph Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 I've never heard of that before, but it seems to make sense... At least to me I see more respect in using a name over a pronoun. But does he do that with every name? Link to comment
elg Posted August 11, 2003 Author Share Posted August 11, 2003 he doesnt seem to...I certainly havent seen him doing it before Link to comment
SweetTartz Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 I really wouldn't read into that one...my boss (female) calls my name all the time...sometimes it's just out of habit... My question is - would you put your job at jeopardy if you actually act on your attraction? Office romance are complicated. Link to comment
Ash Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 When writing business style communications, I always use actual names rather than he/she to avoid any confusion. When I'm writing about somebody, I tend to use their name a lot whether its good or bad, or I like them or dislike them. But that's just me. Look for other signs. Does he always check on your work,and say you're doing a good job for example? Link to comment
