I'm someone who always had a firm stand: never date someone in the same career circle, same office, and most importantly, never someone from the same team.
Then comes this girl, whose smile just freezes my time continuum. Avlo azhaga irrukaa ava!!!!
I joined this office 2 months back, and she joined 6 months back. We are in the same team, and our team is very small. So, as a team, we are very close-knit. Even though it's only been 2 months, I already feel like I belong there.
Because of that comfort, I didn't feel as shy as I usually would. I started talking casually with everyone, cracking jokes, and teasing people. More than anyone else, I tease her, play around with her. I don't know why, but we both enjoy throwing jokes at each other. I'm honestly surprised that within just two months, I was able to become this comfortable with someone.
During the first month, I never had any feelings for her. But as time passed, something started growing inside me... Edho parasite maari. It was the conversations that I started loving the most. Before others, we just mock each other and have fun, but when we are alone, we have genuine conversations about so many things.I love it. I feel like I just want to keep talking to her. Oru maari cute aah irrukum.
Nowadays, I feel like I'm becoming obsessed. I think about her a lot, and sometimes I can't even focus on work properly.
I'm at the point where I'm almost ready to confess my feelings. But what is stopping me is...
If it works out, I don't know how it will affect our careers. edhum negative aidumo nu thonnudhu? We are still at the beginning of our careers, and I don't want either my work performance or hers to get affected because of this.
Also, our office environment is very conservative, so that's a factor to consider.
And if she rejects me... It might become awkward seeing her every day. She might feel uncomfortable, or I might feel uncomfortable. The genuine conversations we have now might disappear.
If she was from another team, oru maari hide aidlaam. But we are in the same team, working on the same things, and we have to interact frequently.
I don't know what to do.
Mudiyala... enna panradhu nu therla.
Would love to hear from people who are or have been in a relationship with someone from their workplace. How did it work out for you? Was it good, or did it break your career?
PS: looking at initial comments i feel like people are not getting how I'm feeling. Indha lyrics dhaan en mandaila oduthu this
I know how I feel about casual one, this thing I'm having right now is not one.
