As a career driven woman, I totally get her choice. It really is hard especially, when in her position, it’s her direct boss. Like you said, he gotta earn her fully and communicate as straight forward as possible that he loves her and wants a serious relationship.
I trained myself not to even see my male coworkers as datable people because you never know. I know not everything can be controlled but I am dead set on never putting myself into such position and people who are judging her for refusing are maybe not at that stage off life yet ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
ya'll i've been in this position before and it is super uncomfortable to have mutual feelings for your boss as an assistant. this is her career that she's strived for with all her heart. i made the same choice to not pursue things. she's a full blown adult and having sex with your boss gets most people fired so i mean give her a break. he's never even told her how he feels. the power dynamics here are incredibly skewed in his favor. there's no need to pity him. he's gotta earn her.
