Recently I made a pretty important decision In my life which was regarding the fate of the organization that I govern and lead. There was a woman I used to be in love with when I was just a junior at this organization and when she was actually my superior. For over a year I lusted after her but never actually did anything about it mostly because she was my superior and it would be unprofessional. However after a while she eventually took notice of my behaviour towards her and I think she came to an understanding regarding my feelings for her. However we never talked about it and I’m not sure what she actually thought of me. Moving on to 2016/present where I made an important decisions (but yet have not carried it out). This decision is strongly opposed by my family and some of my coworkers who have an important role in the organization. Yesterday my crush suddenly showed up to my office and tried to convince me against this decision. When I rejectd her proposal she (to my utter shock and disbelif) remarked that any chances of her and I possibly dating would be diminished if I carried my decision forward. For some reason I feel as though this was a blackmail from my family/coworkers and that she does not actually wish to date me nor does she actually care that much to have approached me on her own accord. However my feeligns for her are still strong. I’m in my late 30s and shes early 40s and we are still single. I have never actually became so unsure of the outcome of my decision. I softly rejected her during our meeting and she walked out with a blank expression that I could not read into. I’m not sure exactly what to do. I can say I like her enough to change my decision regarding the organization but A) im not sure if she actually meant what she said and B) I do not like to change my beliefs for anyone. Do you guys think she was pushed to do this by others and she did not mean we will actually get to date? Not sure what my next moves or 'tests' should be. Thanks in advance.
