Love: Today, I confessed to my co-worker that I've secretly loved him...

By Alanis - 21/07/2012 01:59 - United States

Today, I confessed to my co-worker that I've secretly loved him for months. He laughed hysterically for about a minute straight before shaking his head and excusing himself from the store. Even the fact that my boss fired him for leaving early isn't cheering me up. FML

Today, after working at my job for months, I quit. Why? My boss tried to convince me that we are in a secret relationship, after he told me he loved me. FML

Today, my boss fired me because of the way I laugh. Apparently it reminds him too much of his ex-wife's laugh. I'm a guy. FML

Today, my boss suspended me for laughing too hard at my desk and causing a big scene in front of our customers. I was laughing because he'd forwarded me a hilarious email. He was practically smirking as he handed me my official warning. FML

Today, I was fired for being a very happy and perky employee. According to my boss, it freaks both the customers and my co-workers out. FML

Today, just a few minutes after I got to work, my usually laconic boss came into my office and said, "Pack your stuff and get the f*ck out." Apparently, half my department was being downsized. Thinking it was an April Fool's, I burst out laughing and told him how funny the prank was. He wasn't kidding. FML

Today, at work I wrote up my boyfriend (whom I've been secretly dating, because I'm his supervisor) for being $40 short on his register. Our policy is to write up anyone short over $10. He got mad and told my boss we're dating, and I was instantly fired. Then I got dumped for being a "tattle-tale". FML

Laughing on his part was wrong. But really, why are people confessing love to coworkers especially if they are unsure if the feelings are mutual. It puts both of you in a real awkward position. IMO, telling someone you like them or asking them on a casual date is way more appropriate then confessing love. That comes off real intense and many people don't know how to react.

Yes, he could have handled that a lot more politely. But I guess you can't make someone like you.

I'm sorry but telling someone you love them out the blue is just weird and creepy honestly that's something you get close to a person and finesse it in while not on the clock

At least he didn't fire you! Be glad that bastard's gone, you don't deserve someone who laughs at your feelings. you'll find someone better :)

Not so surprising if you confessed it totally out of the air.

I know the feeling OP, but I do think you should of had tried a bit more tactic. I mean, if a guy likes you, it will show. Maybe going for a casual lunch, or a coffee would have been able to break the ice between you two. I actually tried that with my co-worker and it worked out great, we've been dating for a few months now. But, hey... I'm not a big believer in the everyone has someone meant for them, but I'm sure you'll find someone for you. And as far as the guy's reaction goes, well, all guys have weird reactions to feelings, laughing hysterically for one minute it's just one of them.

Why are you people so afraid of a confession? Seriously, if a girl confesses her feelings to me, there are three possibilities : 1) I don't like her back and I politely tell her. 2) I like her back and everything is fine. 3) I have never thought of going out with her, but you never know what can happen, and I invite her for a drink. And that is how it works, clear and simple, damn.
