Littlegirllost Posted April 6, 2012 Posted April 6, 2012 I have always had a thing for my boss since I started working with him 12 months ago. He is very reserved and doesn't give a lot away but he has always been sweet to me and the others always joke that if they want something they have to get me to ask him. There have been a few times he has gone above and beyond to look after me. Like when I was sick he had one of my coworkers drive me home in my car and another follow us in a company car to take the first coworker and himself back to work. I always thought there was a chance he might like me. He always stares to long when he talks to me and was really hurt when I told him I was leaving but did everything he could to help me get my new job. Then just this week he started touching me like a tap on the shoulder or a playful jab. I know that he never bought anything for his last PA when she left and he bought me a lovely, expensive gift which he gave me with tears in his eyes. I can't get him out of my head but maybe I'm reading too much into it? What do I do?

wannabdone Posted April 6, 2012 Posted April 6, 2012 Run as fast as you can. I PROMISE, it leads to nothing but heart ache. 1
whichwayisup Posted April 6, 2012 Posted April 6, 2012 I know that he never bought anything for his last PA when she left PA = Personal assistant, I take it? Just making sure. Look, it sounds like you have a crush on him and maybe let yourself fall for him too much, took his kindness to heart and your feelings have tricked you into believing he likes you that way too.. I take it he's married? If yes, then don't even bother.. Put him out of your head and just be glad you had a great caring boss. Cherish the memory and smile. That's it. 1
frozensprouts Posted April 6, 2012 Posted April 6, 2012 I really think that you know what you need to do, and just wanted some "external validation" that you're doing the right thing.... maybe he was interested in you, maybe he was just being protective, maybe he thinks a lot of you as a person ( not in a romantic way) ...but whatever, as you're leaving the office for another position...you won't be spending any time with him, and it won't matter... if he tries to contact you once you are at your new job, i'd be professional with him, but that's it...no lunches, no talks, no emailing back and forth or texting..., if it starts crossing the line between "professional" and "romantic", I'd take control of the situation and tell him, in very clear and concise terms, to stop and leave you alone from now on 1
Gentlegirl2 Posted April 6, 2012 Posted April 6, 2012 MY ex boss did all those things for me. It only meant he was looking out for a staff member as bosses are meant to do. It just means that he is a caring boss and you are lucky. Leave and forget it. GG 1
mercy Posted April 7, 2012 Posted April 7, 2012 You aren't a lost little girl. You are a grown woman. It is very important that you keep a firm grasp on that fact. You've left the job, the end.
