What should I do about my situation?
Yesterday while I was at work, I was asking my boss advice about my love life... he told me to stop dating the guy I'm currently dating since he's probably not that into me. So then I was like, "yeah I guess you're right." He then started to tell me how, even though he's in his mid thirties, that he mostly dates girls between the ages of 19-24 because "they don't really know what they want in life yet." wtf? And then he started talking about how his myspace profile talks about him trying to find the right girl for him, and then he asked me if I had a myspace. I told him that I have one, and he told me to look him up in myspace after I got home to add him as a friend. (After I got home and checked out his myspace, I noticed that none of the other girls at work were on his friends list.... and No, I didn't add him.) So after that, he started to just randomly walk up to me when business was slow and tell me "you're beautiful!" and he sometimes he would hold my arm when he talked to me. He even playfully asked me to buy him dinner after work... Oh yeah, and he asked me if he could buy me water. WTH?
See, I'm not interested in dating or flirting with people who are almost twice my age because that's just gross. Now, if he were any normal middle-aged guy, I'd have no problem telling him to **** off. But I really like my job so I can't be mean to him about telling him to stop flirting... I don't want to lose my job or make things awkward at work. I really want him to stop, because it made me feel VERY uncomfortable yesterday. So how do I make him stop flirting with me in the least dramatic, but most effective way as possible?
Update:
I just realized something about yesterday's situation. When he asked me to eat dinner with him after work, I told him that I couldn't because I was planning to go shopping with one of my coworkers. He was like "what??? doesn't the mall close at 6 on Sundays?" and I was like, yeah, but we're going to a local outdoor mall that opens until 10PM on Sundays. So when the store closed he made me stay almost an hour after closing because some customers were arguing with him so he couldn't count my cash drawer. But I just realized something. I was the only one who he made stay for an extra hour. He let everyone else go on time, but not me.
And then today at work, he tried AGAIN to give me a stupid excuse to make me stay after work for no good reason. Luckily one of my coworkers argued with him to let me out on time and he did. But when he finally let me out, he was like "Fine you can go. Oh and BTW, ***** is waiting outside for you" (the guy who I was supposed to go shopping with last night but couldn't because my boss made me stay an hour late). wtf?
OMG I am so freakin annoyed right now. So I'm getting the impression that
1) He's trying to get me alone with him
and /or
2) He's bitter that I didn't want to go to dinner with him and that I'd rather go shopping with my coworker instead, so he was trying to stop me from hanging out with my coworker by making me stay later. Oh and BTW, today at work he asked me "so did you go shopping last night?" like as if he knew I couldn't because he made me stay an hour late.
How can I avoid being alone with him after closing next time? I mean, I can't just leave after store closing hours if he tells me I have to stay... but I'm really starting to question his motives for doing that and I really don't want to be alone with him again.
I'm thinking about trying to figure out my other boss's work schedule so I can rechange my work availability so that I can only work when my other boss works. Because right now, I just realized that I am scheduled to work whenever the creepy boss is scheduled to work. Oh, and btw, it's the creepy boss who makes the work schedules. I'm starting to think this is more than just a coincidence... or am I just being paranoid? |
