Yup... that just happened.
OK. I have got to tell someone about this. Today I was at work. (I am a retail supervisor- for now.) We have an employee who is mentally disabled. He comes in a few days a week and dusts shelves and does other tasking as part of his program.
Said employee, (we'll call him J), approaches me and asks if we can talk for a minute. I say sure, invite him into my office, etc... The following conversation ensues:
Me: Hi J. I see you're getting ready to leave for the day, what's up?
J: Well, I'm not really sure how to say this, but I think you have a crush on me.
Me: Well, um... no, I don't. I'm married. I like you as a friend only, J. Why do you think that?
J: You smiled at me.
Me: Ok, well I am a friendly person. I like being at work and I smile at a lot of people.
J: Ok. Because I don't really know what to feel and I am not allowed to be in a romantic relationship with anybody at work.
Me: Right. Yes, well, I don't want to be in a relationship with you. I am married.
J: So I think you want to be in a romantic relationship with me, and you can't. I think we should just be friends.
Me: Yes, J. I think that would be best. I like you just the same as I like everyone else. Not romantically. Just as a friend. I hope I don't make you uncomfortable.
J: No, not really.
Me: Ok. Anything else?
J: No
Me: Ok, well have a good day.
I was so taken aback I was almost at a total loss for words. FML. Today was so ridiculous.
Re: Yup... that just happened.

This! Hope it won't be awkward next time you're both working at the same time.
How awkward! However...kinda funny. It sounds like a scene from The Office.
