I have been working with my boss for two years. We had some very rough patches, and a screaming match in between. However, we both agreed to work on our professional relationship better.

However, I noticed these past few months, he was getting more and more comfortable with me. We sometimes talk about our personal lives as well. He also seem to open up to me more which I attributed to him trying to get close to me. But there are some actions that I was already awkward with. For example, before my competition, he suddenly hugged me in front of my subordinates, which I shrugged off. He also started massaging my back as well. It only happened one time, but all of us know that my boss is not a touchy feely, friendly boss, that's why his actions surprised me And my colleagues.

Then the other day, things got weirder. He was asking me if we cAn go out for coffee during lunch for a one on one talk. Then when I didn't reply right away, he messaged me again, saying that I don't need to worry about his ex-girlfriend(which also works in the same office), and that nothing is going on between them. I was so surprised coz it came right out of the blue. I decided to ask my other colleagues that are under him if they received the same invite, but they said, with them, they always go out as a group. With me, this is the second one on one meeting invite I received from him. I decided not to accept the one one meeting outside and told him I'm still busy and can we do it in the office instead.

However, when we had the one on one meeting in the office, he's saying things like "you're photogenic, coz I looked at your wechat photos and you look good there." And he wants to use me as a model of a promotional poster of our team. After that merting, I suddenly realized that there's a that he might like me. The problem is, I don't like him, period. Usually, when I don't like a guy, I just avoid him, but since he's my boss, I know that isn't possible. I want to talk to him about boundaries, but first, I would like to make sure that his above actions really show that he likes me, or if he's just friendly with me..also I need advice on how I can talk to him about setting professional boundaries without offending him?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, as my career might be on the line here. Thank you!
