My crush and I work at an on campus restaurant at our university. I like him, and I can tell he likes me. We’re the same age, and we’re both student workers. We got hired around the same time, but he’s really great with the customers, so he got promoted to department lead a couple of months ago. 

Department lead is a step down from the manager. While there are about 15 student workers at the restaurant, there are only 4 department leads. Department leads don’t have control over pay or scheduling. However, they assign breaks, and tell you what to do, for example, I specifically am told by them to go on the register. If the register gets stuck, they have the keys to unlock the register. 

The other day, I looked up the handbook for the restaurant. It says that managers and department leads are not allowed to date regular employees, as they are subordinates. So that’s why I think he’s my boss. However, by the time he got promoted, we already liked each other. He was kind of distant the first couple of weeks after his promotion. However, he’s been flirty again recently. The flirts he’s doing are very slow moves, definitely not as overt as what he used to do, but flirting.
