I have a crush on a younger coworker, but I don’t know if she is single. I assume not because she is rather cute and in my experience cute women are already dating.

Before I would stop by the cube of someone I was interested in and try and chat them up, but I think I developed a reputation of being a horndog and always chatting up the pretty women. Almost all of the time these women were dating or married anyway as I came to discover, so it wasn’t like I was getting anywhere with them.

I was nice to them, friendly without being creepy, I thought, and when they said they had a SO, I took it in stride and continued to talk to them, but realized that my goal of maybe finding a date was done. It was still nice to talk to someone I found attractive, and it gave me hope that maybe they would hook me up with a cute friend of theirs if they saw I was nice and decent.

Now I read that this kind of behavior is called being a Nice Guy™ and I feel like absolute s***. How are people supposed to approach anyone without being labeled as horrible people nowadays?
