I’m a single guy in my early 30s, and I could really use some perspective right now. When I first reported for duty at my workplace, I became close friends with another guy who is in his mid-20s. Over time, he’s become incredibly well-liked and popular across the entire department. Lately, everyone has been playfully matchmaking him with almost every single woman in the office—including the one coworker I have a massive crush on. I’ve been making an effort to chat with her daily just to see her smile and get closer to her. But lately, it hurts to watch. People constantly remark on how great they look together, and whenever they interact, she blushes and smiles from ear to ear. Every time I witness it, my heart sinks. I’m stuck comparing myself to him: he’s younger, taller, more handsome, has a higher rank, and makes more money than me. It feels like I never stood a chance to begin with. Has anyone ever been in a similar spot? Any advice on how to stop feeling so inadequate and move on? submitted by /u/Pahlawanbiru2025
