Sunflower2000 Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 For what it is, I could be over thinking this in my head hence why I need another persons point of view. I recently started a new job, 3 months ago and in the last 2 months I’ve been picking up some signs of flirting from my boss. I noticed she would make prolonged eye contact with me (and I may have reciprocated because I do think she’s gorgeous). Then she would smile around me a lot, her tone of voice is different towards me recently she has become touchy with me on the arm when talking and be in close proximity with me, plus the occasional jokes, banter and compliments). I admit I am liking the attention and I do have feelings for her and that there is a bit of sexual tension. Additional info - I am a female (bi) in a hetro relationship and have never had any experiences with a female and my boss is a female married and in a hetro relationship with kids. I’ve never had any experiences with females and am so dumb founded when it comes to signs of flirting in general, hence why I needed an opinion from another perspective. I get it sometimes these signs could mean nothing but I just needed to talk to someone about it. My question is: 1. Is she flirting with me/making a move on me or could I be projecting my feelings to her and am overthinking all this in my head? 2. If she is, then what should I do?

If yes then you do nothing and enjoy the occasional compliment from your boss. I think you have a crush on her so everything feels like flirting. She has a husband and children, respect that. It's not because we have sexual urges that we should hump each other left and right. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Leihla_B Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 Sounds a bit schoolgirl for a professional. Is this your first job? I'd decide that I'm the one responsible for managing my own crush, and unless boss does something overtly questionable, I'm capable of refocusing away from my projections and onto my work. Also, how long have you been with your partner, and how is your relationship? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
S2B Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 I’d suggest do your job! That’s what you are there for and getting paid to do! getting involved with others at work is rarely (if ever) a good idea. Just stay away from any of that! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
