Boss inviting me for cocktails?
Hey, I'm wondering if this is something normal or if I should be creeped out. I'm not very experienced in the working world. And I have a terrible radar for telling if someone's attracted to me.
So my old boss is a family friend who I've known for a long time. He has a wife and a kid. I'm a 20-year-old who used to work for his company. I haven't worked for him for a year, but this summer when I moved back he invited me out first for coffee, just to have a chat and catch up on things. And he's a cool guy, we talked about all sorts of things, I guess he enjoys talking to me. A month later he invited me for a beer to do the same. And now he's inviting me for cocktails, just with him. Now, he hasn't made any advances, at least as far as I know. See the problem is that I don't have a very good radar for flirting. That is why I'm posting here. I really would like to think that this is not the case. But why cocktails? Isn't there an old cliche about the boss wanting to have cocktails with the female employee or something? I just feel really weird going for cocktails with my 40-year-old boss.

I still retch at the memories of aftershave, business suits and Cadillacs.
So I'm the original poster, the one who wrote this. And I forgot to add one other detail. he did compliment me on my figure when we had coffee the first time. He was kind of stumbling over his words, I mentioned I'd gained the freshman 15 once during the winter and he was like "well when I saw you come in you looked great, um trim, in good shape.." and I thought nothing of it really at first, but it did make me feel a little strange.
ps. i dont mean to insult you or your boss, honestly, but whatever you do, keep an eye on your drink......just in case
