🧠 Need some heartfelt advice from fellow G-Viners

I’m a 24-year-old guy and to be honest, I’ve never been in a real relationship. Just a college situationship that ended quietly but left me with more emotional maturity than closure.

Graduated last year Now 2-3 years later, working at focused, growing, learning, I recently saw someone here who genuinely moved me. We haven’t talked. We don’t work together. But there was something in that moment that made me feel something I hadn’t in a long time. And the first thought that came to me was: “I wish I had someone like her in my life.”

I know many would say workplace and emotions shouldn’t mix and I get it. But I also believe that love, when genuine and respectful, doesn’t follow checkboxes. It just… shows up. Unexpectedly. And lately, I’ve felt this desire not to explore or “just talk to people” but to build something real. To love, grow, sustain, and walk into something that feels long-term, not just fleeting.

Call me old-school, but I truly crave a bond that grows into a beautiful partnership maybe even marriage someday.

But I also don’t want to mess this up by making her uncomfortable or breaking any unspoken workplace boundaries. So I’m turning to you all , to you guys whose advice i can actually follow, but as humans who’ve probably felt something similar at some point.

👉 If you've ever felt something deeply for someone at work (or anywhere unexpected), what did you do? 👉 Would you let it flow naturally? Or find a respectful way to start a conversation?

I know it’s just a crush right now. But the emotion behind it feels real. Would love to hear your thoughts — or stories — if you’re open to sharing.
