hey i just started a new job a few weeks ago n i think my boss is interested in me...he keeps gazing at me in the eyes and asking personal questions,I even noticed him getting flustered while i was training and lauging with another supervisor..my intuition is telling me yes, but i need some other opinions, keep it real but dont be rude.thanx
Nobody is superior because they make more money that is complete bulls****. If he is attracted to you and you are attracted to him AND he is a respectable guy then go for it. Just don't jump on the first "good-looking-rich" guy you see though, a lot of them only show a facade and only wants to get laid.
I feel for you. I've been in that situation and it's horrible! Sounds like he might like you. Maybe yes, maybe no. It will be you who loses your job when it sours.
My boss has liked me for 8 months. He's married with kids, I have a bf. I did not like him cuz he's married, I have a bf and he's my boss. But with so much attention, he kind of grew on me. He made sure we worked closely together, daily. I fought with myself since he wouldn't let up. I never gave in to his advances. (Oh, and he's a major pig). His wife is a sweety too...It's all really pathetic. I'm just sick about this whole thing.
Anyway, after placing a post like yours, I was able to step back and take a look at the situation. I became "assertive" in letting him know that I am not interested. He hasn't taken it well. I had been given some pretty interesting work to do that would have helped me advance quickly within the company. He took the assignment away from me. I'm pissed!
My advice is don't get involved....! (Even if he's not married). If you do get involved and it doesn't work out, you will be the loser. He's got the power. Look, I didn't get involved and I'm afraid of losing my job!
cool him off.
show no interest.
talk about your boyfriend - if you have one - so he knows your mind is elsewhere...but basically keep it all business. no extra jokes or laughter.
workplace romance is a nightmare i wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.
until someone leaves or you think you could marry him, i'd shut it down.
he does seem to be flirting...badly, by the way :-)
Gazing into your eyes and asking personal questions.
Can you give a more concrete example?
It is hard to judge if he is flirting without a little more info.
What kind of personal questions is he asking?
Perhaps you are reading more into it than is truly there.
Does he show the same type of behavior to his other female employees?
