Even if he's my boss?

[thnderskiies]

Probably because he's attracted to her or intimidated by her and doesn't know how to act. Especially since he's your boss, he's trying to keep it professional, he doesn’t wanna be accused for harassment or anything

[MrCommodore]

He might think you are dreamy, as in he thinks you are super attractive in terms of looks and behaviour. So he gets all awkward and shy in your presence.

[Guy13]

She’s hot and he’s attracted to her and that’s a No-No.

[BJP21]

Why would that be a No NO?

[Guy13]

@BJP21 societally speaking. He’s probably married or got something going on too. My mentors…one has girl kept in the high rise where the bank he work in is. That’s safe.

Family guy?

Because me too ain't no joke anymore. Especially if he's her boss. She probably gives off those, "I'm not opposed to hitting you with sexual harassment lawsuit even if you just slightly look at me wrong" vibes

[Dav1dTh0ma389]

Why do you want him to be?

[panamared1]

You must make him nervous

[Asker]

But why would an older guy be nervous around a younger woman? Surely he has more life experience so should be confident

[panamared1]

Perhaps you are taboo for him, and it excites him

[Asker]

He's married?

[panamared1]

That may be why you make him nervous

[Asker]

I make him nervous because he's married? That doesn't make sense

[panamared1]

he is attracted to you and is nervous about that because he is married

[spartan55]

He probably wasn't.

[spartan55]

I highly doubt he is nervous and shy around you.

[Asker]

He always seems really gentle and timid. He's stern with everyone else

[spartan55]

I think I know what you are driving at. He's your boss, forget it.

[Asker]

I was just asking

[spartan55]

I know why you are asking. Like I said, forget it.

[Iron_Man]

It happens

[Asker]

But why?

[Iron_Man]

He probably likes you and is nervous
