Search Results: how to ask for a raise

Maybe I'm being stupid, but I'm just not happy in my role anymore, regardless of money. I thought getting more money would help, and I had a meeting with my boss about a month ago... I brought up salary and told him (in a tactful way) that I don't think I'm getting paid fairly for all the work I do. He took action and talked to his boss, and got me a 6k increase. The increase hasn't even hit my paycheck yet (it starts the first of the month).

My boss is a really nice guy, but there's so many other opportunities I want to try. I've been with the same company for 5 years, and I just want to leave. Would I burn bridges if I left right after getting a raise?

And he said he had none either and he asked if were each others valentine and i said yes. Then i asked why he doesn't have any and he said his girl left him to join the army or something weeks ago and she seemed to be hanging out with a girl a lot (and she's bi) and he was devastated when she left. He asked if i like girls too and i said no. Then we talked about work a but. Then he asked again if were each others valentine and i said yeah and he said he doesn't believe me. But i meant it. I just seem nonchalant or cool or gigly but i meant it.

Then he walked away after saying bye my valentine. It was SO SWEET.

Then the next few days he didn't say hi to me even when i was near him ;(

I dont know why.

And on vday i saw him and said hi and he didn't mention vday. So i thought oh ok.

Then a few days later i think, we passed each other and when i looked up at him to greet him his eyes were purposefully wide and his brows were raised. And i waved my fingers at him lowkey flirty like (i dont wave like that at anyone! He really made a good impression on me so i really respect him including romantically if thats what he wants from me)..

And he waved back.

Now i didn't see him for a few days. I passed by his work area and i felt s tinge if sadness, like wow this is where the gentleman who impressed me usually works. But he's not here. I dont know how often i will ever see him again here. I wonder what it all means
