So telling this story would be a little difficult. Too many details that I might miss here. As well as explaining this mess. Sorry! All over the place!
This is a warehouse job.
We got this new manager that seems to be caring. Shocking right? What I mean is he is different with communication with his employees. We had others that care and talk to you, but then it ends and there is nothing more of it or any other questions in the future. With this new manager he goes out of his way to talk to you and cares to know. I wish I could put this out into words because it is indeed hard too. So here goes.
What i learned from him is he does have excellent communication skills. I noticed was he would place his hand on my shoulder (my back turned) and tell me something about work quickly and then the hand is off. Not in any sexual indication way. Just one of those kind that do that. To me that feels like affirmation and understanding.
When time passed, he was easier to talk too. He would at break call me over and discuss some things while we were outside with others around. Then while days went on, and breaks continue routinely, I notice he would look up at me from the bench. I easily notice because I have a good sense of a wide view while I look at my phone. lol I look up shortly after and his head goes back down to his phone with no "catching" of the look. So I thought to myself... OK, nothing seems odd here.. and the days went on again. I notice he can take joking around at work just me saying things about how work is and how we use to do things around here. His smiling and eye contact are amazing, and it did give me a slight thought of "is this guy -too- good to be true?"
It seems to me he was trying to figure me out because according to his online profile, he can communicate with anyone on any level - interpersonal. To give a little background, I am higher than an associate.
Well, I am going to quickly write this out and hope this would help some. Of course leaving out huge amounts of detail here. (sorry for that)
At the desk I had a question about him, given to me on the computer and I showed him this. He said, "you have it selected on the worse one". I laughed and said I'll answer. But he insisted he wanted to know what I would answer. I said it does say below "I prefer not to say" and I'll give the reason because my manager is looking over my shoulder. lol He said, "I gave you a lollipop when you asked for one the other day" I said, "Ok, I'll answer 'somewhat' then. I laugh. He did too, but he turned and I answered quickly and I said, "Ha Ha! I answered and you didn't know what I selected" He looked at me in a certain way with the eyes lingering a bit with mine.. then he proceeded to say, "Come outside and smoke with me." I said, "sorry, I'm on the clock."
Well, I fucked up there... I should of went outside regardless. (I did this again on another day when I was asked a question on the computer.) Later that day everyone went on lunch, and he is outside and I'm outside with a few more smokers. I sat at the right table, and he sat at the left table. I was looking at my phone and I heard the two beside me talking about work. I wanted to comment on what they said, so I looked up and when I did that... my eyes happened to land on him looking at me and he looked back down to his phone. (He had a grin and those eyes looked very sensitive) I continued to look all the way over to my left and ask a question.
Another instance would be during breaks I notice he looks up at me when I stand and my face is not in his viewing range, but he forgets there are windows that reflect your image and I can see you look up from next to me at my.. well.. jeans butt area. Hey, I know this guy likes jeans anyways, because he wears good ones. Similar to Rock Revival jeans - which is what I wear.
Another time was when I was walking back to my department... I seen him at the desk with another person, so as I went around the corner I turned my head to the right and locked eyes dead on with his for 2 secs and the board broke the stare. But as I went all the way around.. I notice he was still in this kinda bug eyed looking at the laptop while the other person continued talking.
One day, my phone went off right at break time, and I said my order was shipped. He asked, "What did you buy?" I said, "Well, you know.. something." He THEN said, "What? A plastic dildo?" I was jaw dropped and laughed and said NO! lol
Other things he does:
He would mock a voice and say " oh my god" blah blah blah - whatever he has to say right there..
And in a mocking voice even say my name.
He does this all by "sounding gay"
He's the type of guy that says "buddy"
I know this guy cares, and there is only some times he shows these odd signs to me. When he comes to the desk he glances at me while walking up and says hello to me. I don't know what to think of this mess. Maybe he is the type that tries to find out what works best for his associates or he is just having fun. He does have a daughter but the mother passed couple years ago. Could this guy be using only his 15 years of skills, or could there be more to this? He looks great and I can notice something in that smile. He is known to be very cool and nice to others. This is really tough.. and I grown to like this guy very much. He's one of those rare guys that talk a certain way and it's making me fall for him.
If you can make sense of this crap, let me know. If you have any questions, I'll be able to answer this better.
