Would you work in a workplace in which someone you are attracted to also works if you were in a relationship? (lemmygrad.ml)

I am in the interview process for a job in a research group and it is going well so far. The only issue is that I was attracted to the person that interviewed me and I am going to be working with if I get hired.

My girlfriend is the most important person in the world for me so I don't want to risk catching feelings for someone else, but I also need to find a job if I am to rent a place to finally live with her.

What would you do in my case? Would you stop the interview process and try to find a job elsewhere or would you go for it and trust that you would do the right thing?

This question might sound deranged to you, but I have the full autism/ADHD/OCD combo so I am very out of touch with how the average person thinks.

If I cheated everytime I worked with someone I find attractive I would have cheated dozens of times. Cheating isn't something you have to do, just... Don't do it. Also as others have said, start working in yourself, positive directions, self improvement..if you need to chat, message me.

When you talk about self-improvement you mean becoming more mature, secure etc? Because if so I agree with you and I have to do that work. Thanks for the chat offer, I might take you up on that someday
