Accidentally hit on my boss on Hinge

[u/Consistent-Cry-3162]

I was frustrated with not getting matches on Hinge, so I started mindlessly liking profiles without paying much attention. I ended up sending a message before my brain even registered the name and photo—only to realize afterward that it was my boss, who’s 29. The message I had sent? “You look amazing in that dress, though I suspect it wasn’t made to stay on for long when you meet me.”

If you're hiring, please DM.

Update 1-
Sorry couldn't reply to the comments

She was 'active' at the moment. Deleting Hinge didnt cross my mind at the moment, but I don't think it would have helped. Also, I have a lot of matches there.

She did match with me (didn't reply) and I apologized on the app itself - again nothing extremely formal. No reply there again.

Update 2 - when I saw her at the ffice passing by, she just smirked at me. I was pretty calm afterwards. I met her and explained the situation. She said that's the most creative line she had received on Hinge. And so I took the chance and asked her "coffee this evening?" she agreed and the night ended with us making out.

Slightly off topic but something related to a colleague happened with me on hinge as well. There's this one colleague (will call her X for better understanding) who I think I wouldn't mind hanging out with outside work if it comes to that . Another friend of mine in office told me X does have a bf because apparently she overheard her talking about it to someone. I'm in decent touch with X in the sense, that we talk and go well whenever we run into each other at work.

2 weeks in, I now have X's profile showing on the app and I just don't know what to do! A part of me tells me that a short, casual, not coming across desperate kind of a message will do nothing bad and may trigger a conversation ( like perhaps a "hey! Didn't expect to run into you here! How's it going?😊) types, whereas the other half of me is scared worrying about extreme negative consequences of her showing it to some random colleague and then being mocked/laughed at. I'm also internally aware she's outside my league and probably has 100 hotter dudes lurking in her profile so I technically, do not have a shot

Since I'm already friendly with her , I fear the latter happening has less chances but yeah, it's keeping me worried nevertheless. And maybe I'm over buying into it, I also do not want to let go of this one chance which maybe, just maybee give me a chance to see her outside of work. What dilemma. Rest assured, I know there are going to be people who say things like "don't hookup where you vlookup" but in all seriousness, I am not upto anything creepy, or anything that comes across as desperate. Sorry for the long post guys! Have a great day :)
