On some days he flirts with me 24/7 and some days he doesn't. It depends on his mood i guess lol. so he started saying i needed to do my job better (i'm in sales). i was really confused at this point because i'm an average-good seller. i sold just as much as everyone else did. so he was telling me i needed to do my job better on some days and on other days he would flirt and not mention it (a couple people even commented on how we flirt, and a couple people said we act like an old married couple when we argue). so it came as a kind of shock when he told me that my job was "on the line". about a week after that he fired one of my coworkers. i asked him if i'm so bad why did he fire her and not me, and he replied "because I don't care about her." and then he went on to give me the whole "you need to really work on doing a better job with your sales" speech. but i was still stuck on the "because i don't care about her".so another month went by and he fired me! i have no clue why because i worked just as hard as any of my other co-workers did. and the worst part is i really like him and i still think about him all the time even though it's been 4 months since he fired me.. so my real question is, why do you guys think he fired me? and do you think he likes me or is he just a guy that was flirting with a girl?and btw i can't go into detail (i'm afraid someone i know will read this lol) but he has done a few really nice things for me that he didn't have to do.thanks for reading this really long question!

Obviously you're confused as he's blowing and cold. Did he give a sufficient reason as to why he fired you? I'm detecting a hint of sexual harassment. Office romance is ok as long as business is not mixed with pleasure. You have a right to have a reason as to why you are fired. If he doesn't give you a good reason you may complain about him to some worker association or file a complain to your senior managers. If he really likes you, he would have contacted you even after you've been fired. That pretty much sums whether he's really serious with you
