Ever tried to impress your office crush, only to have the universe laugh in your face? That was me with Emily from accounting. I finally worked up the nerve to ask her to this trendy new dessert bar after work, picturing a cozy, one-on-one vibe. Instead, she showed up with half the marketing team in tow! The real kicker? Emily spent the whole night showing everyone endless videos of her dog’s tricks. I nodded along, trying to join in, but it was clear I was just another face in the crowd. Ever felt totally invisible when you were hoping for sparks? Honestly, I left wondering if I’d ever escape the friend zone—or if I was just destined to be the guy who laughs at pet videos. Tell me, have you ever had a date go sideways like this? Let’s commiserate in the comments! 😅 #OfficeRomance #DatingFails #AwkwardMoments #WorkplaceFlirting #RomanticRelationships
