I had an interview for a research assistant position earlier today. The interviewer( The Professor in question is a woman) was smoking hot, and we really hit it off. She very clearly liked me and seemed to be giving me “the look” left right and center. I honestly lost count of the number of times she laughed at things that I said and she seemed to genuinely enjoy talking to me. We ended up chatting for nearly 3 hours, and most of our conversation wasn’t even remotely about the research project-just randomly about ourselves. Towards the end of the interview I had a strong urge to go in for a kiss. It’s as though I completely forgot that this was an interview for a position, and my desires got the best of me. I guess I completely misread the situation too, as she immediately shouted “what are you doing?” as I was about to go in for it. I immediately apologized and we kind if ended things awkwardly then and there. I am really stressed out about the repercussions of this; I really like the research project and she’s the only professor to do research in this very niche field in Canada and is even well-known in the country in this field. Am I not gonna get a research assistant position ever again? Is the prof gonna report this to the faculty and dean? Am I screwed for all future of grad school?

P.s: I can’t sleep at all with what happened
