Every time I see Mariah Carey she looks so sad to me. Like she’s smiling, but doesn’t want to be. It wasn’t always that way, but for real I hope she’s doing ok because she seems like one of those people who smiles just because she has to.

Thing is there’s not much to move on from. Aside from her internalized feelings and the occasional drink after work, seems like it shouldn’t be much of a problem. Don’t hang out after work, keep discussions professional wherever possible, and find someone else to crush on. She’s building it up in her head.

And I think that’s because you’ve learned when to care about things and people. When you’re younger everything is the most important thing ever. That’s exhausting, so you get more selective with age.

I say it as “nut.”

Can we get this person an advice column of her own? Like, YESTERDAY?

I think she says “hanging out” because she’s inexperienced (no bf, no dates, no kiss). Using quotes is a way for people to “soften” the “impact” of things they are “saying” and also imply “maybe there’s more ‘going on’ here” even though there probably “isn’t.”

100% agreed. The closest thing I have to a work friend (nowhere near “work wife” territory) would probably be a girl who I see maybe once a week at work. She’s probably the person at work I can relate to the most, but there is absolutely nothing more than friendship there. She just had her first baby and my wife and I…

Glad you were mature enough to take the appropriate corrective action. Most people would take that as a compliment and pile on even more because humans thrive on attention. That’s why every office has a gossip and other people’s drama is like catnip to us.

Listen to how he talks about the women in his life. That’s how he’ll talk about you after the initial rush wears off.

when you have all these guys around you that you are interested in/interested in you, did she give the guy she was with a real chance?

Are they wrong?

Keep in mind, though, that the coworker also referred to his “not-really-girlfriend” as a friend. He does sound like he’s maybe stringing the LW along, but we’re only getting this from the LW’s perspective. He very well could be thinking “I like having friends at work” while she’s thinking “Next stop, Bone Town.”

The arrogance in her comments is staggering. She honestly buys into her own hype. “He didn’t want to f*** me because I’m fat.” OR maybe you’re just ugly in lots of other ways, both inside and out.

“I’m devastated by the accusation and my heart goes out to all those affected in any way by this situation. I will do everything I can to assist investigators and prosecutors in their search for justice. Rape should never be taken lightly and I look forward to the truth of this horrible situation to come to light.”

Don’t forget rich.

Didn’t you hear? She’s worked with him for half a decade. HALF A DECADE! That’s like a long time! No one has any secrets from their coworkers after half a whole decade!

I just got whiplash from nodding my head so hard at your post.

These are not questions suggested to be discussed aloud. These are subconscious thoughts that everyone has when they interact with people. Knowing that people are asking these questions subconsciously gives you a huge advantage when dealing with them in any capacity. I don’t think you read the article very carefully,…

Wireless charging isn’t the only charging option on any phone right now. And yes, I have friends and family with chargers at home, in the car, and at the office. They’re not that expensive or big for that matter. Wireless charging has been around for years now.

Or the fact that people will literally
