Is it creepy if I (22F) have a crush on an employee of mine (21F)? I've found myself in management but all my employees are my age. I wouldn't make a move because professionalism and power dynamic but I feel like a creep.

You’re so close in age that I don’t think it’s creepy at all to have those feelings come up. However, not acting on it is the right move.

Yes I’d say it’s creepy JUST because she’s an employee. If you don’t act on it or even let her know it can be okay.

My friend is dating her manager and they met on the job. As someone who doesn’t really trust men, when I first met him I told her “usually all your past boyfriends have given me weird vibes.. but I really like this one!”… that says A LOT coming from me. I’d say don’t make a move though, *unless* you KNOW it’s reciprocated and you both are mature enough to be professional about it (regardless if it worked out or ended badly).

As long as you don’t abuse your power in a creepy manner you’re fine. Managers and employees date all the time. It’s when they basically when a manager uses their power to get the employee it becomes a problem.

I wouldn't, I know that'd be wrong. And I won't ever mention it to her. I just feel like even having the feelings makes me freaky

In that case? I sort of get it. You two are close in age. It’s understandable if you find someone attractive or something like that.

But basically, just wanna reassure you that I don’t think it makes you a creep. Your hesitation and worry about coming across that way further proves you’re not one and actually respect women. Too many people out there abuse their power without hesitation and don’t even feel bad about it.
