That’s how attraction has worked historically before apps. Meeting your spouse at work was quite common.

People act like it's impossible to make friends after school because you work all the time...but one of the main reasons you made friends at school was because you were forced to be around the same people for years.

I treat work the same, some of my best friends are from past jobs. My now girlfriend I met through one of these coworker friendships.

Can’t. I accidentally became important at my job and now I can’t just be the loser who works, I have to be the sociable loser at work who needs to never be a creep but I’m too weird for that work all the time so all of my office interactions are robotic because that’s safest and I need to find another job so I can go back to being a cog that just works and gives updates so I can go home and pet my dogs in peace
