Why do guys get over protective over some girls?

Anonymous
Most people I know tend to get protective of me anyway, guys or girls but I find it weird that one guy at work is more protective over me than others.

Hes a supervisor of the department close to mine. So if my supervisor is not there, he watches over us and vice versa.

Im really nice and sweet and soft spoken. People think I'm so adorable and they like me. (I hope theyre not just saying that). Everyone there teases me and sometimes are playfully mean but I don't take it seriously. Sometimes if they are being that way to me and he sees, he'll put a stop to it and he'll shake his head and say, "just leave her." And he'll make them stop. I feel bad though because they werent really being mean and I wasn't getting offended. He doesn't like anyone to mess with me and he is more protective of me than the supervisor for my own department. I find that odd.

Hes always telling me that I'm so nice and sweet and awesome. But he says that to a lot of other people so I don't feel special. And sometimes when he talks to me, he won't even look at me. He will look past me. He just learned my name. He was mispronouncing it for the last few months and when he learned it, he kept saying it over and over. He still does. Sometimes he'll just say, "hey _____!" And I'll answer and he just says, "awww!" And that's it.

But then I find it weird that he doesn't like to be alone with me in a room. he's just a supervisor, and I'm an employee. I'm not going to rape him. But he makes sure to leave the door open if we are in the stockroom. One time I was in there and he came in and he's like, "oh you're in here..." and I said yes. And I was standing by a cart full of stuff and he said, "ummm... can you pass me that cart next to you? I would get it but then its going to be awkward. You know, when I try to get it past the door and yadda yadda yadda..." he kept rambling on. I just said OK and I passed it to him. I don't see why it would be awkward but OK. Whatever.

Another time, I was in the back and I asked a guy if we had something and the guy said no. And that supervisor came in and the guy I was talking to said, "you caught her! she's back here flirting with me," and I turned around and my supervisor stayed quiet for a while and I said ,No! And he just laughed afterward but he didn't seem very pleased.

Also, there used to be a guy I worked with who always tried to spend time with me and tease me and the supervisor would always try to put him down when I was there. This supervisor is known to be an asshole. He is a jerk to others and he messes around a lot but he's always really nice to me.

Idk. This man is weird. he's not much older than me though. I'm 21 and he's probably 28 at the most. I am guessing he's 25 or 26. why would he be way more protective over me?
