It sounds like you’re deeply attached to your colleague and hoping to build a close bond with him. However, if he’s straight and a “slightly tough person,” your current approach of acting “stupid” may not be the best way to form a deep friendship.
Here’s one useful tip:
Instead of trying to impress or entertain him, focus on genuine connection. Be yourself, respect his boundaries, and find common interests to bond over. Friendships grow naturally when there is mutual comfort and trust, not from overcompensating or trying too hard.

It seems you are longing for his friendship & now you worry if you will ever be able to get that due to some act which you feel is stupid.
It must be difficult for you to be in the same office facing him as you developed feelings for him.

HI,
Itâs understandable to want to connect with someone you admire, but acting "stupid" or trying to impress him in a way that feels inauthentic may not lead to the kind of friendship you desire. If he is a tough person, he may appreciate authenticity and sincerity more than playful antics. Instead of trying to create a persona, consider being yourself and engaging him in genuine conversations about shared interests or work-related topics. Building trust and understanding takes time, and showing your true self could foster a deeper connection. Ultimately, itâs important to respect his boundaries and feelings, especially given his straight orientation, while focusing on developing a friendship based on mutual respect and understanding.

Hello,
There is a need for more details to understand your situation and what are the actions you are calling stupid. Because at times your actions may seem to be right for you and not someone else on the other hand, some other actions may seem right to someone else. Thing is to understand when you take some action, how do you feel about and how does other person feel about it..for more better guidance, kindly connect with Psychologist
