I volunteer at this place and the coordinator/supervisor acts really flirty. I've been volunteering there for about 2 years, but it was only recently that he started acting really flirty. Now he tends to make fart jokes and I laugh at them, that was the extent of things at the beginning and he asked me several times in the past if it bothered me, because he knows that fart jokes bother some people. I didn't find anything wrong with it.

 

Later on, he mentions that another volunteer in the past was weirded out by his flirty behaviour so he wanted to make sure I was okay with it. I said I was fine.

 

He gives me hugs and walks me to the elevator when I leave. A few weeks ago he said that we should go out for dinner and hang out. We haven't set a firm date yet as I'm a student and need to work things out with my schedule. Last week he touched me on the back of my leg when he was sitting down and I was standing...he also gave me a short shoulder massage. He also said that he hopes I'm not putting up with his flirty behaviour because he's a blind man.

 

I do like the guy, but not in "that" way...I know he's currently single and I just want to make sure that things are completely platonic. He's a friend, but he's also my supervisor.

 

He wasn't in the office one time and said that he missed me and it felt strange. He then asked about dinner again and said that he'd "behave if I insist." I do realize that some people, even in friendships, are just very touchy-feely people and their behaviour often gets mistaken for flirting. I even have a friend who I at times talk flirty to, but we both know it's completely platonic. From an outsider's opinion, what are your thoughts?
