Supervisor at Work


Question Posted Monday August 4 2014, 6:51 pm

I'm 19, he's 22 and also my superior at work. I work in a grocery store, I'm a cashier, he's 1 of 10 supervisors of the front end of the store, just one step up from me so he isn't a manager or anything huge.

Next, I explained that because I do believe that he may like me. I think he's cute and would have no qualms against this. I just want to explain some things to see if you feel the same. I am returning back to school soon so I will be going on leave of absence from work so, technically, he and I could work.

I believe he may like me because:
-he greets me at work with "well, if it isn't my favorite cashier"
-one day, I got in trouble because my shirt wasn't blue enough (I know) and I had to go home and change on my lunch break.. I came back from changing and he asked me if I did change because he noticed I wasn't wearing the same shirt.. so I told him the other supervisor on at the time yelled at me, he told me not to worry about her and that what I do is perfectly fine
-the money box is behind register 11 so he has to go to that register a lot and I find that when I come into work, he usually puts me on 11 or the next over, 12 or on either self check outs because when he puts me there, he always stays and talks because I don't have much to do on self checkouts
-if he's the supervisor that has to stay nights, he has to do the store's money bags which means he has to walk around the entire store to empty the drawers into the money bags to put in the vaults and he has to take someone with him and he usually asks me to go around the store with him
-he also knows how bored I get when I'm on register so he sometimes finds other jobs for me to do such as organization within the aisles or moderating price tags
-lastly, we always just talk, when I don't have a customer no matter what lane I'm in, he'll walk over to me and talk to me about whatever, sometimes work related.. sometimes not

However, we don't have each others numbers and we never hang out outside of work.

Please don't say that I don't need to know because he's my superior at work and that's wrong, because I know that. Just tell me what you think.

Thank you

Interesting. Nothing stands out to me as being a really good sign. It could be that he just gets along with you and enjoys your company in a friendship sense. He may not like you, like you. It could also be that because this is a work situation, he's being very professional and doing a good job of trying not to show that he's into you. In order to figure this out without being direct (because being direct could be a bad idea here), you'd have to get him in a non-work environment. I'm not saying you should ask him on a date or anything (because you shouldn't), but try to think if there's a way for you to hang out with him outside of work that wouldn't seem too much like a date. Perhaps schedule an outing with a few friends from work where it would be possible for you to be alone in public with him. Like going to a theme park or going on a hike, something along those lines where you could have sort of "private" conversation with him in a public setting. I'm not sure if this would be easier to do once you've started your leave, but that's an option too. If none of this works, are you friends on facebook? Once you've been on leave for a week or two, you could send him a message saying that you didn't realize how much you liked talking to him and that you miss him. Something like that is innocent enough, but also opens things up a bit to where he might take the bait. Don't worry, there's honestly nothing wrong with being romantically involved with someone you work under as long as it's for the right reasons. You just have to make sure it isn't against company policy and you're careful about it because some people will have negative opinions. It's not wrong though! Back to your question, it's a tough one. It's really hard to tell what he's thinking. Hopefully you can get him to drop a clearer hint or bring yourself to drop a hint and see how he reacts. Good luck to you!
