The Manager Is In Love With Me

The Story

This year I'm graduating with a master's degree, working and living abroad, and I'm actually doing my internship right now. I had the chance to be hired in an amazing company where I wanted to stay at work. I don't think I will find such conditions elsewhere, and the team is nice. But there is one problem. I am convinced that one of the managers is in love with me. Until recently, I thought I was imagining and told myself that maybe I was exaggerating myself. At least she is married with 3 children. She is 13 years older than me and from the very beginning, she looked at me somehow so strangely. This did not bother me in any way, I thought it was a matter of curiosity since I am a foreigner, of pure sympathy.

Recently she found out from colleagues that I was leaving with one of the interns, we are three in total - 2 girls and 1 boy. And since the boy lives near me and comes by car, and I with public transport, we started coming back together. The next day, she gave me a job exactly 2 minutes before the end of the workday so I could stay after work and he could leave (like everyone else). Her argument was that it would help her move forward with her day's work. Of course, I couldn't refuse her, it took me less than 10 minutes. And her argument was absurd because it was about entering data from a table, she showed me 7-8 lines that she wanted to enter, and the whole board was extremely long. Therefore, the argument that it would help her in this way to progress with her work for the day was absurd. These 7-8 lines were a drop in the ocean, and it really wasn't an urgent matter, it could be done the next day or even left for the next week. Anyway, I thought it was a test of patience, I did what I had to do, went through the office to tell her, and wished her a pleasant evening. She thanked me, also wished me a pleasant evening somehow satisfied. The boy came out, dude, waiting for me in the parking lot, and the first thing he told me when we got in the car was that the manager was acting weird this week. We laughed and deliberately changed the subject because I didn't want him to come to my conclusions. In the days that followed, I noticed that she began to dress the way I had dressed the day before. For example, on Wednesday I was wearing a red shirt, a black jacket and black pants.

On Thursday, she came dressed like that. On Thursday, I was wearing a black blouse and blue pants. She came dressed like that on Friday. A few days ago we were training together. The group was about 15 people about 7 people sitting opposite each other (the tables were arranged in the shape of the letter P). She sat on my side, there were three people between us. The training was super short, no more than 30 minutes, during which there was a presentation and explanations by the trainer. Twice I caught her staring at me. Both times I cut off eye contact, first because I was embarrassed, and second, perhaps because I knew subconsciously that if I didn't, she wouldn't. It was not cold in the hall, we were all short-sleeved.

I noticed that the skin on her hands was bristling to the max. Of course, she might just have been cold. Another thing that impresses me is that it gives different things to do to me, but not to the other two interns. Therefore, and talk more to me than to them. This week he came to ask me about some tasks that needed to be done. As he spoke to me, he touched my shoulder, held his hand, but also move your body away at the same time (take a step back). It was very strange because the most logical thing when you touch someone is to get closer to their body, not to move away. After I didn't move or react in any way, she removed her hand from my shoulder and moved closer. The way he looks at me also I think is indicative of my doubts.

She looks at me like boys who have obviously shown me that they like me. If she stops here, I won't have any worries. I can easily pretend to be hit and in no way will I make her feel naughty. By the way, she is an extremely reserved woman, both emotionally and in her stories. I still can't believe that a guy like her is behaving like that. She's not conflicted, I've never heard her speak ill of anyone, and she's really trying to be super delicate. I respect her and hope in no way to make her feel bad.

What advice would you give me? Do you think she will stop here? I am convinced that at some point, he will realize the real situation. After all, she is in a managerial position, married with three children, and I am an intern and just this whole picture is not in her favor. I have almost four more months until the end, but as I wrote at the beginning, I want to stay here after that. It would be a pity if I had to leave because of something like that… but as I wrote at the beginning, I want to stay here after that. It would be a pity if I have to leave because of something like that… but as I wrote at the beginning, I want to stay here after that. It would be a pity if I had to leave because of something like that…
