I’m turning 20 next month and work at a small start up in an office with 15 others. It’s a great company, but the work can be a little boring. I mostly fill out / revise paperwork and don’t have many friends. I don’t mind the work but it does get a little tedious, especially since I don’t have anyone to chat with.
The only person I feel comfortable with is my boss (Let’s call him Mark for the sake of anonymity). He’s 38 years old, very light hearted, and loves making others laugh. It’s great when he comes into the office. I admittedly have always had a crush on him but he’s happily engaged.
When I was first hired Mark created a group chat with me, and two other new hires in case we had any questions. We would often chat in there and share memes / check up on each-other.
I quickly became used to texting him and we started to message each other privately. We usually talk about work but occasionally he will send cute texts complimenting my outfit or saying something like “Want a coffee sleepy head?”. It makes me really special since I’m the only one he really does this with.
