I wasn’t talking and my supervisor asked what was wrong and said I could tell her. she's stuttered while we talked and there’s been awkward eye contact. We had holiday shirts and she was like “look at you looking all festive. I said I felt naked without a uniform and she was like “you feel naked?”. she gave me bag from the job. I’d call my boyfriend at work. Once I told her I called him because I had no one to talk to and I wanted to talk to him. She looked taken aback. She kept calling me out. She told my manager that she saw me on my phone. I see her on hers a lot. I’ve stopped. Once I was talking with another coworker and the next day she was like “oh is that what y’all were talking about?” When we were leaving work I called my boyfriend and she told me to hang up because I couldn’t call him until we were outside leaving.
I thought that was weird. The store was closed.
She told the managers that I got on the phone after closing and they took my side. We always make eye contact. She asked another coworker how her and her boyfriend met but not me. After that she asked how I was twice. She’ll come up next to me super close. I was talking to my other manager for a while and the girl kept lingering. She went to show my manager a pic of a fun size Easter bunny and she was like “it’s the size of courtney” (that’s my name) and laughed. She then came over and touched my arm laughing and was like “that sounded bad” and she shows me the picture and I asked if it was edible and she was like “I know where your minds at”. she told me bye later. She always waits until we’re alone to talk to me. she's only asked me when I work again alone. Last week she said it was nice seeing me without my mask. Some girls called me pretty and she was like “that was cute” and teased me. Last week we ran into each other and our palms touched for seconds. Today I was talking about my career and she said she couldn’t wait to turn on the tv and see me and be like “I know her”. What is this?

Are the two of you women?
Yes we are
It's clear you like her. What are you waiting for, people in the comments here to give you the green light?
I just don’t know if she’s interested in me.
But you know you are interested in her, if I am not wrong.
So... find about what's on her mind.
How?
It says she is a supervisor. Is she in a position to trouble your work life if you do some manoeuvering and it goes wrong?
Yes lol that’s why I would want to see if she has interest before I do any type of exploring. Id rather her make the first actual move anyway she’s more forward
What you can do is *passively* (and yet openly...) signal you want to go along with her.
What do I say?
Consider this. Of the two of you, it's apparent she's the "dominant" one. So you aren't going to sway her mind, meaning: if on her mind there's a "yes" for you, it'll be yes, if there's a "no", it'll stay a no.
You only have to make what's on her mind come out.
How?
More important than what you say is how you say it: the more relaxed you are, the better. Don't be nervous as if the world is crumbling on you. On the other hand, don't speak totally the same as you'd speak to anyone else about anything else, or she may not realize you are in.
It's about giving off a clear, yet not naively open/frank, vibe.
Things like "your new haircut is nice on you", "today's dress is nice on you", or texting her a message out of worktime telling her how she is spending the evening, ...
Thanks!
