writes: I have an employee who I think may have more than a crush on me. He is going through a divorce and I have helped him to seek professional help, including family and friends.We have known each other for 3 years prior to me becoming a boss. We have a lot in common in movies, humor and sports. He was even the first to congratulate me on my promotion. He even mentioned that he will miss me and that he loved talking to me.Now, he comes to my desk everyday to talk about work and later his situation and then our jokes about life and all. He gets nervous around me. He rubs his head and his beard and stands in different positions around my desk, looks deep in my eyes, shuffles around with his feet...a lot of nervousness. He even tries to make me happy and do things for me out of the ordinary, including contributing money for food at work, working beyond his normal work duties and caring about how I feel. I told him I was frustrated and he told me that I can blame him and that he was sorry I was feeling like that way.I got weird feelings about him that I am more than a shoulder to cry on. When we talk, there is silence and he later lets me work. He never misses a day to talk to me. Sometimes when we talk, the time gets away from me(like 45 minutes). I noticed recently that he stands close to me at my desk and continues to fidgets a lot.What do you think?

why are you asking?
it's not appropriate for a boss to date an employee.
