I took a week (ish) 'off' thinking about this specific person. It was suggested on another thread that I feel love for him rather than jealousy and although I am not quite at that stage, I have found a point at which I want him to be happy, even if it is with the other girl (do not ask me how I got to this stage - I have no idea other than thinking about him less). I feel less stressed, less clingy, more refreshed and like I have let go a bit. Much better. Earlier this week, he was in my physical vicinity standing and talking to someone and looking in my direction. I got more of a sense of his physicality if I wanted to visualise more (which is what I wanted before). I don't, as it happens.
He is the big boss man at our company. Normally we never get the chance to meet. I have not spoken to him and i've been working there for 9 months. In a couple of weeks, a social event has been arranged for a few us and he is coming along (he basically never ever does this). The only problem is, it's the exact same afternoon I have booked off for extensive dental work. I am the only one off that afternoon. What terrible luck. It's like both attracting and not attracting. So... what would your plan of 'action' be? Carry on 'as you were' or take advantage of the opportunity and put off the dental work/change the date? I am not even sure if my dentist will allow it but I wanted to ask. Is this too much 'chasing after Fred'? Too much effort? Would you try to change the date? I should also point out that this dental work (braces) is going to make me less inclined to want to speak to him after it takes place for obvious reasons!!! A window of opportunity perhaps?

I would change the date.

You want to change the date so just do it. That is the path of least resistance

Well, I don't feel that I want to change the date. I just want things to feel easier. I feel resistance in changing the date. Like I'm pushing against something (fate?). Logically (and I know I should abandon logic for this), it seems like a no brainer to get the date changed. Logic or feelings?

There is no fate (in my belief), you create everything. There are many different ways this situation can play out. So, just do whatever you want to do. If you don't want to change the date, then don't. If you feel like you want to, then do it. Either decision is ok. You won't "mess anything up". As I said, there isn't any one set way that something can play out. There are so many different "future tracks", if you want to view it that way. All are possibilities.

I'm just interested in your situation. Am I right in thinking this isn't an ex but you literally have a crush on the boss who you have never spoken to? I'm intrigued!

Thanks. I guess I have to trust that this can happen another way. I will wait until Monday to see if the date has changed and if not, i'll ask my dentist if I can change the appointment date. If not then there's nowt I can do.
Yeh he's not an ex at all. He's a boss in a very senior position (the big boss), not my direct manager. I am just very attracted to and drawn to him. Never spoken apart from saying 'hi'. It's interesting that this situation has come up (when I let go of him) because it's such a rare thing. I was pretty shocked. I find things 'come my way' the less my feelings are clingy/crushy and the more I become level headed and let go. I was going to focus on letting go more until this opportunity came up.

No, it was with you writing "nowt I can do" - thought it was a Yorkshireism!!
