    Have you heard of holding back on advice or not being so open to advice. Do that. Don't make yourself available for advice. Listen and talk minimal. Answer question with question. If boss asks what should I do? Ask what do you think you should do? If he says, I don't know. Tell him only you should know bec u know how you feel and I don't. Don't give alternatives. If you are thinking he likes you, I don't think so. He will soon claim being confused and wanting to date you,but only to return to his previous gf. Get out of that situation, professional. As for your guys, don't mention them to him. If you feel you have to, then say positive things such as I enjoy being with my guy. I am so happy. You don't have to open up to him with your problems. It may be he only want to hear the juicy stuff of your relationship. Rarely will a guy especially your boss say good stuff about another guy. The most I heard from a guy about a guy is I don't know him so I would not be able to opiniate. Do the same.

    He may be playing games with you. He seems to be using your willingness to listen to get closer to you. I reccomend you go a bit cold on him. He's feeding on your availability.

    inappropriate behavior on your boss' part, for sure. You're there to work for the company, not be his personal Dear Abby. He may be taking advantage of your lower ranking on the company ladder. You need to think about yourself now, not him. He needs to find other people outside of work in whom he can confide.
