I am not sure if he is looking for "all" of us female to like him to boost his ego, but all he keeps mentiong is how he doesn't understand why I don't like him. I never gave him any impression of such. So why is he saying this, not only to me, but to others. Recently, when I was talking to another manager, he butted in and told him that he doesn't know why I don't like him and that he has tried to do things for me, tried to talk to me, but that I don't like him still. And then that manager asked me why I don't like the General Manager. I was so caught off guard, I couldn't answer. I just looked at the GM's face and he was smirking and blushing. As if he was glad to put me on the spot. After that day, the boss of the GM visited. I didn't know who he was. I just saw him and thought he was a visitor. I passed him twice, and each time, he raised his hand and gave me a high five. When he did it the second time, the GM saw and shouted "you gave him a high five and when I tried, you ignore me!" . I was stunned. I said that I didn't know the "visitor", I just did it without thinking. And then the GM said that the "visitor" is one of his boss. Them we introduced each other and he started asking me about how long I have been working there and which GM I liked from the start. Then when he asked about this GM, who was listening in, I said I don't know him well enough to form an opinion. So now, the GM has been trying to avoid me. He leaves work earlier than usual before my shift starts. And has mot done anymore closing shifts with me. If we cross paths, he asks upset or standoffish, after shouting my name. Yes! He shouts my name when he sees me. And walk offI just don't see why he feels like needs my attention all the time. Reply to this Question

 Gosh he sounds like a child in the playground. Honestly don't allow this to get to you. You don't need to prove anything to him, if he wants to avoid you then let him. You get paid to do your work, so go and do your work and leave it at that. Ignore him.

 Good grief! so he is WAY too old to act like a petulant 5-year-old.
I think it's overall a good thing that he is avoiding you, but careerwise is it good too?
Does this company have other branches? If so I might look into looking for a job elsewhere in the company because I have a feeling that a guy who ACTS like this twatwaffle is NOT good for your career.

Next time your GM starts this CHILDISH stuff just tell him that you have no issues with him except that his behavior is unprofessional and then leave it at that.
Maybe THAT will give him a little food for thought.
He sounds like an immature self-centered brat honestly.
HE IS enjoying making YOU uncomfortable. Some people are like that. It's his way to try and goad you into "fawning" all over him.
Try not to be intimidated by him. However, if he doesn't stop, consider talking it over with HR.
How old is this guy?

 If this doesn't interfere with work then don't give it another thought. You only have to get on with people at work well enough to do the job. Have a life outside work. That is the important one.
