she hates me because he likes me.

Hm. I'll try to keep this short & sweet .. plus, I'm not positive if this is in the right spot - so if not, feel free to move it !

Okay. I've liked this guy at my work since August, recently we both found out that we like each other, so we've been hanging out outside of work. The problem is that another coworker also like(d) him and she feels as if I stole him away from her and I'm the biggest bitch in the world. First of all, I've tried to talk to her about it but she just says he doesn't bother her but goes and talks about it behind my back .. and now she's ignoring me because I showed up with him at a party she was at.

They've never even talked before! They never talk at work, and he said she's texted him a couple of times but they've never really spoken. I don't understand how she can be so upset over this. I mean, if they had had a thing or were friends or something when we admitted that we liked each other, sure. But she doesn't even know him. This has been going on for like 2 months.

The reason I'm posting this now is because it's just the 3 of us working together tonight. So, I'm sure it's going to be a lot of awkward silences considering she refuses to speak to me and she's mad at him also. Like, I don't know what she wants me to do, and personally, I think she's making a really huge deal out of it. Honestly, there is nothing I can do about him liking me or me liking him. And I can't understand how much she could like him without even knowing him.

That's definitely an awkward situation. =/ Has your boyfriend tried setting her straight? Perhaps he could talk to her alone, and explain (GENTLY) that he hardly ever spoke to her, and therefore couldn't have known how she felt about him. He could then ask if it would be possible to put all of this behind them, for the sake of making the workplace environment more enjoyable for everyone.

There's always going to be workplace drama. =/ Hopefully, something will soon replace this particular event, and everyone (including this girl) will move on.
