Alright, so noobish question time.a) My assumptions: Shelly is a female-only name. I have never seen a male Shelly. Babe is a name reserved for females. I don't think you'd ever say, "Damn, look at that hot babe." when referring to an attractive male. The OP is most likely straight (due to statistics, and the fact that the person didn't point out anything to the contrary).b) As such the OP is a female who called a female boss, "babe". I'm confused.


61- Your replies to this and previous FMLs have led me to the conclusion that you're an idiot blonde without a sense of humor.His "idea" was meant as a joke. As was that other commenter's regarding that fellow and his boss.Unless you can refrain from jumping on the "You're stupid because I can't understand your joke" bandwagon, I'd advise you not to comment. You make yourself look incredibly dumb and also quite bitchy.Dumb and bitchy are not a pleasant combination. That is all.


101- I was going to say that but thank you for saving me time. 61- you have no place to tell him his idea was stupid even if he was serious because you yourself don't even know what happened..if you can't take a joke then FML probably isn't a place for you.


I worked for him as an intern (he was the head of the company) while I was in college. After I had stopped interning, I reached out and asked if there was any on-the-side work I could do for him. He said yes, and I did informal freelance work for him for the next few years (I still do, occasionally).


Initially, our relationship was strictly job-oriented; he would give me a task and I would do it. But over the next few years, it became more of a mentor/mentee type thing; he's successful in the field I want to work in, and so I'd ask him for advice, references, connections, etc. He's always been super nice about that and extremely willing to send an email to someone telling them I'm great. And I have always harbored a hope that I'd end up actually working for him one day; he's said many times that he wants to eventually create a job for me at his company, and that if he could, he'd hire me now (although this has never panned out, so who knows how serious he is). I'm really grateful for his professional support, which has allowed me to do a ton of stuff I wouldn't have otherwise.


I know that in this scenario I'm the less-powerful person in so many ways: young, female, unestablished in an industry that rewards personal connections. But I am also a responsible party here. I love to flirt (with him and everyone else), and I definitely toe the line by sending emails/texts that are way more casual and personal than ones I would send to any other boss I've ever had. Even parts of our professional relationship (how fast will he email me back about this assignment?) feel like I'm waiting for a text back from any other crush.


I want to make sure I'm not doing anything that would jeopardize this important professional relationship simply because I have a stupid crush. But I find this difficult because my personal and professional feelings about him are roughly inseparable. I want him to think I'm smart and capable and do good work both because he's my boss and because I have a crush on him.


How do I deal with my feelings in a relationship that's both professional and personal, and how do I make sure I'm not crossing any lines while still retaining the normal intimacy that makes a relationship with another person good in the first place?


The thing is that our relationship isn't solely professional. I have strong positive non-romantic feelings about him; he is supportive and kind and funny and a good friend and mentor. We've spent time together in non-work capacities\u2013\u2013he has a big party every summer that he invites me and my boyfriend to, and has invited me to other events as well, non-worky things where he is often slightly to very drunk. Perhaps more importantly, I have a weird \\\"you're my authority figure/boss/dad and I'm into it\\\" crush on him. I've at times felt a romantic/sexual/flirty vibe from him as well: stuff like saying he loves me in emails or hugging me for slightly too long when he's drunk. His wife is also super cold to me, despite being very nice to everyone else I've seen interact with her.
