I accidentally deleted this question so I'll post it again. There's this new manager at work who is married with kids. He seems pretty nice, but he's always grabbing my arm or squeezing it. And he's always looking at me and smiling. Is this normal married man behavior or is he flirting? I don't want to date him. I'm just wondering if I should keep my guard up. P.S. His wife and kids are in another state, because (I think) they're in the process of moving here and don't officially have a house yet.

It depends on the person. It could be normal behavior from him, some people are just touchy. But as long as you aren't going to start anything I wouldn't worry about it...unless he is making you feel uncomfortable.

He sounds waaay too friendly. Of course he sounds interested in you. And if I caught my husband doing that with a subordinate co-worker, I'd be even more mad than I am now at him! If you don't want to do some homewrecking, tell him straight up what your boundaries are. But then some men don't care and will still try to cross those boundries, thinking you are playing hard to get. If he keeps up and goes further, tape him with a miniature tape recorder and pen-sized camera. Tell him you'll tell his wife and boss if he does not stop. Then go ahead and call wifey and the boss and give them both the proof they need. She deserves to know as his wife what he's doing and the boss over the company should know what's going on while he's paying this guy to work, not flirt.

It's not "professional" behavior in any case and his being married makes it all the worse, so yes, keep your guard up. Consider informing someone in Human Resources at work about this too so that they can caution him on his behavior before things escalate. He could possibly just be one of those "touchy feely" kinds of people, but as a manager that's unacceptable behavior and he should definitely know better. So it's best to stop it before it builds up any momentum. Good luck to you.

Be on your guard. He shouldn't be interested in you or friendly. He is a manager and should be conducting himself as a professional. When he tries touching you, firmly and politely tell him not to touch you, and that you expect him to conduct himself professionally.

Be on your guard. If he is flirting, he will get the message you are not interested and move on to someone else. Use body langauge to let him know you are not interested in him.

He has no business grabbing your arm. Don't let him invade your personal space.

Sounds like sexual harrassment to me.
