He is about 15 years older than I am (I am mid-20s), and married. I am single. About six months ago we started flirting a little bit, mostly over email. Then it stopped for a while. Now it has started again, but instead of having work as a pre-text for writing, we just write personal emails. We debate things and mostly talk about me, we don't talk about his personal life much, although he shares funny stories from his past. He has said he is so grateful to have met me, and he feels like he has known me for years. He also says other poetic stuff like how I deserve to be happy, and I will be, etc. But he also talks about his wife and thinks she is so great and tells me I will meet someone someday too. Is he just playing like older mentor or what is going on here? It is awkward for me in person because I have developed feelings for him over these months, but in person he is pretty cold to me, colder than he is to others it seems. Unless we are alone, when he looks at me really tenderly, but that might just be because he can sense my feelings and feels bad for me.
i just read your answer with the situation with your male boss. it sounds to me like you may have a crush or thing for him, cuz he makes you feel good about yourself. when he says his wife is great and all that, i really do not think he has any feelings for you past friendship or a father figure type of individual. he may act cold to you at work because he has to treat everyone equally. don't mess with married men, it will only cause you trouble, i know. he sounds like a nice man and thinks very highly of you, but in the father daughter type of sense, not as a romantic partner. this is my opinion, and i dont' want to disappoint you cuz it may not be the answer you were looking for, but that is what i sense by what you tell me. it's okay though, to have feelings for married men, just dont' act on it. you will be just fine, and good luck to you.
look at how he acts around you and stuff.
If for some reason your boss does like you and ever makes advances make it clear you have a spouse (even if you don't) as getting involved in a work affair never turns out well. If you are not interested and turn them down they can make your work like hell or if you do give into the advances, they get what they want and then move on to someone else in the office it will not only make things awkward you could lose you job in the end. Stay away from any office romance!You may want to think about this before you approach.
Will a relationship with your boss conflict with your career?
Once you've decided that a romantic relationship with your boss will be O.K., you should ask your boss to lunch or somewhere that is not in the workplace. Tell them that you admire them, flatter them a bit - see how they react.
Good reaction? Just go on and say it.
If he did, he'd let you know it ask you out and 9 chances out of 10 these guys are married, so hands off! Some boss' would love an affair, but trust me when I say it will never go anywhere, but a "squeak between the sheets" every so often and he'll have everything and you'll end up with nothing. Get out and start dating some single guys. Good luck Marcy
If he gives you a raise and sticks his hand in your bra or if your a man in your pants.
Mostly it's if he's being nicer than any1 else like If he opens the door for u or sumtin
It is difficult to tell. Unless he opens up.
Watch his behaviour.
Ask her.
They dont like you Bastards.
Sweet talk.........always txting you....
He will be praising you on what a great job you are doing, giving you a raise, promoting you, or all of the above.
Don't tell her let her find out
Tell her to grow some balls and then have sexual intercourse with him
I am actually a female taurus. If I really like the person and I'm available as well as he is then I can be persistent.
androgynous, or sexual ambiguity.
Use your female intuition. There's no other waay .
its all about body language, ask a male friend, we always know we can always tell when other guys like someone if your boss give you the eyes and his body language changes then hes into you
you tell them that their not the boss of you and tell them that they picked the wrong person to boss around
No, that's called sexual harassment. That is inappropriate and illegal. Go to your HR office if this keeps up.
