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, I confessed my feelings to the girl I like, who also happens to be my coworker. She told my boss, and they're laughing about it as I type this. 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.

The lesson: Love confessions never work. you need to give the other person time to catch up to you. Until they do, keep that shit to yourself. YDI

I don't wanna sound mean but I think you took it to far just confessing that to him especially where you both work wow that's awkward that's probably why he laughed and left he doesn't feel the same way about you but he didn't know what to say. Next time you should've asked him for coffee or something but don't just throw that on him.

Wow sux only because you were attracted to a complete douchebag and didn't even know it. The good thing is that you're done wasting your time being attracted to that trash.

I like how the majority of the comments on here are based around calling the co-worker out on 'being a douchebag' or some other witty line, when in reality he was most likely acting out of shock, possibly even embarrasment. I've seen stuff like this happen and it almost always ends in the same way as OP described (albeit the reaction is usually toned down). I don't want to make it seem like I'm trying to get sympathy (believe me, I'm not), but I'll admit to having done something similar to OP. Wrong line, wrong time, cost me a possible relationship with someone I'd known for months. You should never be outright forward with these kinds of things.
