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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I realized I have a crush on one of my co-workers. I’m married. I would never ever act on it but it’s really scaring me that I have these feelings and can’t make them go away. FML
Today, I'm in a long-term relationship with a woman I love to bits, but I have a crush on a coworker. I've tried to brush it off, but it's only getting stronger. The worst part? I think she likes me too. FML
Today, I realized the extent of my crush on one of my employees when I found myself cropping our picture out of the staff photo to see what we would look like as a couple. FML
Today, I found out that the coworker I’d been crushing on told me he was gay so I wouldn’t hit on him anymore. Turns out he did that so he could focus on wooing a female coworker of mine. They’re now dating. FML
Today, I found out the guy I had a huge crush on back in college, and still think of every day, actually did like me back. Except I’ve been married for nearly 8 years to someone else. FML
Today, as I recently starting having a huge crush on this one guy, my friend told me she told him about the crush, and that he reacted positively. I made a move, only to find out he has a partner. I've tried distancing myself to get over him but he befriended all my friends and is now in our group chat, and the crush has only intensified. FML
Today, I had lunch with an old friend I've had a crush on for years. We're both single, so I figured it to be kind of like a date. Until he started talking about how he told his brother last night that we would never be a thing. FML
Today, I have a major crush on my coworker and I hate it because he's s gay and happily married to another man. FML
Today, I've had a crush on my friend for a long time, and everyone around us had convinced me that he had feelings too, so I finally confessed. I got sister/friend-zoned. I'm trying not to cry myself to sleep. FML
Today, I (35) have a crush on my supervisor (55) [we're both managers). I cannot get my mind off them. They are married and have kids my age. It's not just looks, but how they treat me, feels like they actually respect me, which I don’t feel like people do. I know nothing will happen between us, but can't stop thinking about them. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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?

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.
