Is my boss attracted to me?

Anonymous

(25-29)

I think I can sense sexual tension between me and my boss. I just started interning for him a month ago. We're both pretty attractive people, he's 37 years old and I'm 22. He makes flirtatious comments to me sometimes and asks me a lot of questions about my personal interests. Yesterday when we walked into a room together he made a completely unnecessary comment in front of another person at work saying "She just won't leave me alone" in a joking way he was referring to me. He also saw that I brought coffee into work, and made a comment saying "You know, your supervisor likes Starbucks too." Implying that he would like me to get coffee for him. Then smiled and said he was just kidding around. We were also having a conversation one time about me and he made another playful comment calling me "defiant" and when I was surprised that he made that comment he responded with "you heard me." Also he suggested to me that we go to a sports game "as part of my internship" considering I intern at a sports medicine practice. I'm only going to be working for him for another 2 moths. I've never experienced this before in the workplace, so what do you guys think?

  I'm not sure if I should feel crept out by it or flattered... I think he's just harmlessly flirting because I'm his pretty temporary intern, I'm fine with it as long as he doesn't try to creepily touch me or something.

  He is a supervisor and should not be flirting with you at all. In the US, that can cause major problems for him with his employer.
  
  In any event. . . you can't be receptive to his flirting and then draw a line. If you encourage him, he will try to progress further. If you don't want him to intensify his attention to you, then you must make it clear that you are not available. Instead of doing that directly, have a boyfriend come pick you up one afternoon and make sure you introduce boyfriend to your supervisor. Don't have a boyfriend at the moment? Just ask a male friend to pretend to be a boyfriend and stage the event to let the supervisor know that you are not available.
