Crushed

By ozzii - 04/09/2019 22:00

Today, my friend pointed out that I’ve developed crushes on my last two bosses. I didn’t have the heart to tell her that before then, I had a secret crush on a professor back in college, too. Yet, I wonder why I’m single. FML

Sounds like you're single because you're attracted to a specific idea of a person, instead of actual people. Every single time you've been interested specifically in people who were in authority positions over you.

All you have to do is look for someone in a position of authority who isn't your boss, or a former teacher. Think about someone like a soldier, a guy/girl in the emergency services, or even someone who is management in a place you don't work.

Or, maybe OP is only attracted to people who are unavailable, or undateable?

attraction to authority figures is common, check out Trump xD

A soldier or a fireman won't cut it. She needs at least a high ranked officer, a director, or the fireman's boss.

I don't see the connection. Authority figures will often date their subordinates. It's dangerous, but lots of guys think with their dicks.

From the phrasing of this FML, it seems like you know why you're single. Why not try to do something about it? It sounds like you might have a complex, all these people have power over you and dont treat you like their equal... Thats not a good basis for any relationship.

I would say to find a therapist, but you would probably just want to date them too.

Sounds to me like you want a dominant person. Such as a bdsm lifestyle.
