Better be colder and meaner to them.
They'll respect you more for it.

Yeah, that's what OP wants.

I like the cut of your jib.

If I had to guess I'd say 35.
Its a bit awkward when someone is staring at you without saying anything for seconds after they've finished a sentence. Not following up with "any questions?" or looking away, just staring silently. It's not something I am used to.

It doesn't matter if she's hot. She's your boss. The power she has over you and the forbidden nature of the relationship make it hot.

Wait a minute here...
Doesn't sound like a very safe, responsible person.

She's at her sexual peak. She's yearning for you.

Sounds like you either have a manager who understands what it is like to start in a new position, or you're a mere matter of weeks away from living in a pit, putting lotion on your skin.

Okay I just have to say you've been putting out some A-1 responses in this thread man lmao
I should also probably have mentioned she has young children. She's a single mom so that's what makes it even weirder for me that she's making herself so available. Like how does she have the time?
also I kind of hoped this thread would end up being one where people talk about their experiences, but this is fine too.

Try to smash. A job is a job. A chance at smashing a boss is rare. And if you do beat, it could help your career there

So she's talking on the phone in her car when she has sole responsibility for young children?
Yeah, not a good look.

What would be insanely cool is if that boss in the "2.5 hours as a trainee" thread were the exact same senpai boss in this thread. It would all make sense.

Sounds like you have a boss that might actually give a shit about your well-being and happiness at work. That's rare. Don't fuck it up by thinking it's something weirder than that.
This. Lol just calm it down, OP. She's just trying to be nice to you and help you out.
Sounds to me like she is waiting for you to say something.
Also one of the best ways to get someone to like you (not romantically, just in general) is to act like you like em.

A helpful and accommodating manager is what should be expected and no, it doesnt mean she wants a piece of whatever youre hypothetically serving.
Youre overthinking it. Dont make an advance either, for both the sake of your personal and business life.

Fucking christ on a cracker, this is part of why women are often apprehensive around men.
Ok let me try and be more helpful. Even if she was interested in you, your focus should be on doing your job and being professional. Don't obsess over this because that's how you end up saying or doing something stupid.

As a manager who tries to treat his employees with respect, I think you're overthinking it OP. And even if you're not, and she's legitimately into you... don't. Just don't. It will almost assuredly end badly
Be grateful you have a very supporting boss
No do not cross that line, not worth it
If you two really want to cross that line, change jobs or wait for her to move to a different company, or at minimum change departments
Having a great boss, where the two of you respect each other and admire each other is amazing, do not screw that up

This. Welcome to the world of having a manager who actually cares about their employees.
If everything was exactly the same, but your boss was a man instead of a woman would be saying this?

That's a good boss, who cares about your success, or at least wants to put off the appearance of such. Do your best to succeed, and ask for her help when you need it, and you'll soon find out which of the two it is. If it's the former, do your best there for as long as it's worthwhile and enjoy the great reference. If it's the latter, keep to yourself and count on their self-interest to make you reasonably comfortable.
