A 25-year-old woman has been working at her job for just over one year now, and she has two layers of managers that oversee her work.

Her direct manager had some personal issues to deal with and took time off for half of a year, and due to that, she was left under the guidance of a 36-year-old senior male manager.

He’s handsome, he’s single, and she definitely has the hots for this guy.

When she started her job, her senior manager was incredibly helpful and tried to give her a lot of assistance so she could excel in her role.

Aside from this man being super sympathetic and supportive, she thinks he’s agreeable and easy to get along with.

She found herself frequently joking with him while they were working alongside each other.

Then, her direct manager returned to the office after taking her leave, and she suddenly no longer got to work with her senior manager.

One night though, he asked her if she would like to go out with him and some of their coworkers to have drinks, and she agreed.

“At the beginning of the event, he was very chatty and friendly with me, sometimes even flirty,” she explained.

“However, the moment we went to karaoke and started drinking, he did a 180 and completely shifted his attention from me to other people in the group. I felt like he was deliberately avoiding me.”

“We only spoke once, when he asked me if I was ok and feeling fine. When I got home around 11 PM, he messaged me and thanked me for joining him and our colleagues today.”

Following that fun night out, she didn’t get to see him much around the office, though when she did run into him, she thought he was definitely flirting with her.

He would comment on her outfits and her hair, and it definitely made her feel like he was taking notice of her in a good way.

She recently attended another company event and her senior manager was there too. He was talking to all of her coworkers, but she thought that he avoided her that evening.

“Our eyes occasionally met, but we never really exchanged anything but a “hello” and some smiles,” she said.

“Our only real interaction was when I was leaving, I waved him goodbye. He stood up from his chair, wished me a good weekend, and touched my shoulder.”

“So here I am, writing this and not knowing how to interpret his signals. Is his attention purely friendly or maybe there is more to it?”

She’s certainly hoping that he has feelings for her since she is really into him. Do you think he likes her, or do you think he’s just being friendly?
