Was this a romantic gesture or am I thinking too much?

Hi all, so I have this guy who is my manager and we work in food services.  I’ve been working here for a while now but I will be moving away to be closer to family and start a new job.  This isn’t the first time I’ve suspected he might like me but I’ve always ignored it because he’s twice my age I’m in my early 20s and I could never tell if his kind actions were just being nice or more.  He is single with a kid who doesn’t stay with him and he and I have spent a lot of time together outside of work.  I’m pretty bad at reading signals but the other day we were talking about me leaving and out of nowhere he took the bracelet he was wearing off and put it on my wrist and told me he wanted me to remember him.  It was such a sweet gesture and my gut was definitely picking up on some vibes but I don’t want to read too much into it in case he’s only being nice. I admit a part of me has feelings for him because of the deep conversations we’ve had but I never really intended to act on it.

Well since you two have already spent time outside of work together you probably are legitimate friends. However if he was interested in you romantically he probably would have let you know by now given you have spent personal time together. Does he have a good relationship with his kid? Sometimes people are drawn to younger individuals for paternal interests they have and not necessarily for sexual reasons. Sometimes it can turn sexual but not always.

Hm well I have had a boyfriend of two years which he knows about but he doesn’t know that we broke up as of late.  I’m not sure I’d say if these are feelers he put out before but he has asked me out to dinner but then again that could just be I remind him of his kids haha

Well he's not a friend...this is sexually motivated. So he's gonna work on you to get you between the sheets before you leave. Most of the time it's not romance and fairytales. He just wants to do ya girl, that's it.

If it is sexually motivated he definitely isn't very good at it. Most people with that kind of interest in someone their kids age would have made their move by now.
