I'm in my mid 20s and my boss is in her mid 30s. We are 7 years apart in age.
I have been working with her for 3 months now.
She runs a team with many other people in it but I work for her directly.
Are these signals?
1) She is very open with me about her personal life.
2) She is very open with me about her intimate life.
3) When we do sit together in the office she is very close and she jokingly says "Sorry for sitting so close and being all in your business". During which there is friendly arm grabbing, shoulder touching and I could've sworn she might've been playing footsies.
4) She does call me and text me outside of the office but it usually is business-related or stress-related due to business. These conversations are held on our personal phones.
5) We just very recently took a week business trip for two, during which I became privy too much more than business-related topics with her.
6) She does have an older guy friend that she occasionally hangs out with but she is comfortable enough to fill me in on all the going ons between them. And I too have been recently comfortable to fill her in on my female friendly relationships.
7) Now this is where gets confusing because she's my boss but she does or she has told me her sexual needs and how often a woman her age needs to be intimate.
I will be honest there have been times where she has said things to me that I honestly blush and I'm not quite sure on how to correctly respond. Now I can guarantee you these things she has not shared with anyone else in our office because HR would have a field day if they were aware.
Here are a few other things I feel I should mention:
A) She's constantly is leaning or bending down in front of me showing me her cleavage and politely acting as if she's adjusting.
B) There has been many times where I have been given a glimpse of her thongs. "Side note, don't women do that because they want you to see their thongs? I mean don't they realize it's hanging out as they lean or bend?"
C) Don't ask, but I am all too aware on what type of porn she watches. Not even sure how that came up in our conversations.
Here is what makes me think this is all in my head:
1) She depends on me heavily in a professional way - so maybe all this touching and familiarity is related only to that.
2) I am her ally on the team (politically she doesn't get on well with some others) - so again maybe that's what the touching and inclusive knowledge is all about.
3) Most damning of all, she is a little psycho and that could be why she's just openly letting me know all these things about her and that could be the major reason why I haven't done anything yet; Especially during our trip. However I find it to be hot and exciting.
I want to see things as they are and not what is going on in my head.
Is this Low Interest Level and me yet again reading too much into her touching and her openness?
Again, I appreciate objective opinions. I am really bothered that she may like me only in a professional way or that I could end up regretting not making any moves during our business trip.
