Should I continue pursuing my crush or stop?

I have crush on this guy from my office. Bad thing is we are now all working from home, and I have no work interaction needed with him. I’ve tried to get his attention by friending his social media, also keep posting jokes on my story, and also liking his post. But he never response. So maybe he is not interested at all? and should I stop or trying to be more blunt? But I am also not sure how to be more blunt, like I worry if turns out he doesn’t like me and if sometime later we might need to work together it will become awkward/uncomfortable for him.

Okay, so my general opinion on workplace relationships is that they are a bad idea. There is a reason so many companies have policies against them. They can cause productivity problems when they are at there best and completely disrupt work when at their worst.

The issue is if there is a fight, problem or worse…breakup. Are you going to be able to be around him if you had a big fight or break up? No one thinks about that part until it happens.

What if it is so bad that you find you cannot possibly work with the guy anymore. Are you willing to quit and find a new job? Those are all important things to think about before getting in a workplace relationship.

Now, if you still want to proceed, just ask him if he would like to meetup to discuss something for work. Maybe grab a coffee or something. That gets you face to face where you can see if there is anything there. Whatever you do, just really weigh the pros and cons of it first.

thank you! i kinda haven't think about this through

Just something to consider. Doesn’t mean you can’t make it work. It just sometimes can get ugly when things go wrong. Best of luck to you!

You're not being blunt enough. Because a bunch of people can like your photos or post jokes online and not feel anything for you or just be friends. Try his DMs. Ask for his number, or simply tell him online that you like him and want to date him. Now that is about as blunt as you can be.

It sounds like he is not interested in an online relationship to me. It is a shame that you two can not connect on weekends.

Since he is a co-worker, you shouldn't force things.

Try liking some of his stuff and see what happens.

[vinn127]

Try tagging him in a funny joke or video.

Don't fuck your coworkers. It never works out the way you think it will
