Thanks 4 yr sound advise!Originally posted by Devil1976:Personally, I think he's still pretty okie for now...? I mean... They're just some people who tries to be funny with newcomers and others.. Besides.. You're his assistance? If he really HINT or suggest something which is really drastic, then you can start to be more caution..? Anything which you're really uncomfortable with which is not related to work, you can always... 1. Avoid 2. Hint him off 3. Find excuses etc..
Meanwhile, you might also like to stick MUCH CLOSER to your colleagues for now...?

hi snobbish,
looking at your situation, it is obvious he likes you being around him.
i feel that it is good and important that your direct superior enjoys your presence. since you only started working, it is understandable that he is curious about you (most ppl like new things). would you rather want your direct superior hates you, dumps you all the work, hard to take leave etc?
a little advice i can offer would be to, from time to time, mentioned to him that you feel stress and sometimes loses sleep when hanging out with him (your boss) too often, that you hope to have just a little break from work related stuffs especially during lunch hours, after office hours.
or when you're with him, read books, newspapers etc, keep your conversations with him to the minimal, make him feel bored or let him understand you have things you want to do during your break.
also please appreciate the fact that he likes you, and build a friendship on it. don't be sick of him.
hope i've been of help. -
haha agree sia.. U must be beri chio.

Oops.. Actually I was also trying to say that he could be just trying to be friendly at this point...? Just be careful if you need, but don't be too eager to jump into a conclusion for now okie..?Originally posted by snobbish:Thanks 4 yr sound advise! -

sang andy lau's songOriginally posted by browniebaobao:last time i had an assistant manager also like that..
after work, he always liked to shout from level one to level two, "xxxxxx, wait for me hor~ we go home together~~" then sang andy lau's songs loud loud after that. especially when we OT, he would insist I wait for him, take a cab home together.. coz we stay near each other also.
actually we were good colleagues la.. could joke etc.. he also took good care of me.. but rumours started to spread.. and i began to be cold to him.. he transferred to another branch but still sometimes would call and ask 'ehh who paged me? u ar?" -

Halo,
This thread interest me.
Let me share with you my experience.
Once I asked a young woman for her number, because our team wanted to contact her and ask her to join us (join the company).
She looked at me in a funny way, asked why, and then declined. She offered to take my superior's number to call him instead.
I didn't have a good feeling after that, and I sensed something was abit wrong.
Then I thought to myself, and realized she probably misunderstood. I think she thought I was trying to approach her.
So....
Moral of the story:
Sometimes it is a misunderstanding only.
For your case, I think it is possible that as a team leader, he is just trying to keep an eye on you, and make sure that as a newcomer you can fit in and adjust smoothly.
It is very possible.
So I hope you dont think too much about it.
I disagree about telling him you dont feel comfortable etc. I think it will be very awkward, and probably will have unintended consequences. Maybe he will think you are weird, or you have big ego, or you are too soft, etc, I don't know what it will be like.
Just see how it goes. Try to be cautious, vigilant, but keep a professional attitude, don't be too sensitive.

Yes, keep an open mind, and always act professional.
Only when become overly friendly, should you turn very defensive.
Do u hv yr bf photo on your desk? It might help prevent unwanted rumours or attention. I know it's old but it works.
The office is a very interesting place:
I know a married guy (not manager, but nice looking) frequently sent sms jokes and greetings to female colleagues.
One, single and quite attractive (who knew his marital status) went out with him after some sms exchanges,
the wife found out and put a stop to it.
Don't send out wrong messages.
