He's a musician. And he has a girlfriend. And I work with him.

Dear Cut The Fuck,

I have a huge crush on my co-worker. He fails many tests: he's a musician and he has a girlfriend. But he's hot and totally awesome. It doesn't seem like the music dictates his life. He is playing a show with some other co-workers this weekend. Do I go to the show? Do I pretend he doesn't exist?

Dear Sketchian,

Advice 1:

NO, NO, NO. I can't think of a worse combination.
Obvious points: Musicians are self-involved and often immature, he's taken, and you don't want the awkwardness of having fooled with a coworker.

Advice 2:

Go for it. He can teach you guitar. Ignore the fact that he has a girlfriend. Even if he keeps reminding you of it. Everytime he brings it up, just totally gloss over it and move onto another subject. After doing this several times, he'll begin to think he's crazy and actually question whether or not he really is in a relationship, since it doesn't seem to be registering with you. And the coworker thing is perfect, because that means you two will have the same commute to work, and can both squeeze together in the subway turnstile on the way to and from your jobs, saving at least 2 dollars per person per day. And you'll never break up anyway, so you don't have to worry about any awkwardness.
