    Folks, that attractive white female boss I mentioned to you guys about during the summer, who recently hired me for my current position, is getting married soon. Does anyone think it would be inappropriate for me to give her a card (not with any romantic content but just one wishing her well) before she takes off for her honeymoon or could she read differently into this and might it result in me losing my job? What would be better? Do I just congratulate her by word of mouth, or would it be nice to buy her a card? Let me just reiterate that ever since I found out she was getting married, I no longer have any romantic feelings toward her at all as I'm not one to play with fire. Hence, this question has nothing to do with attraction.

    How many others are working under her? Maybe you could get a card and have others sign it as well. That is pretty much what we do at work.

    The only person who seems to have trouble with this is you, Shaft. Just wish her well and move on. Though I still suspect that you STILL DO have feelings for her why would you think about giving her a card or yet write a post about it.

    You need to surround yourself with a lot of women and I did mention in another post that fitness/aerobic conventions will fill the bill I also add, dance classes, language classes and organized outdoor activities are great because they are always more women than men. Trust me I had my fill of wild single/married fitness instructors.

    No disrespect to you, Shaft it's time to have fun and not go wife hunting.

    This is man to man talk.

    Depends on how your feelings are when you buy the card. Are you still going to have romantic feelings? Or friendship feelings?
    I'll give her card off friendship feelings.

    I don't see anything wrong with giving her a nice card wishing her well.

    Re:

    I think it might be safest for me to not buy her a card at all. I don't want her to misinterpret such an action at all, especially since I've only been working there so far for a month. If it makes her uncomfortable, I may get in trouble. Corporate America is cut-throat. Once again, I was interested in this woman at first, but not anymore, ever since I found out she was getting married. Yes, if I were to buy her a card, it would have nothing but "congratulations on your marriage/wish you well" messages. And last, I just thought it would be nice to buy her a card. There were no other motives behind it. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with me.

    If she doesn't know you personally, you shouldn't approach her about personal matters.

    If you have no feelings for her so to speak, go for it.
